Question

What is Audience, Participant, or Event Engagement?

Answer

Audience, participant, or event engagement is a dialogue at an event between the event participants, presenters, sponsors, and content.

This dialogue describes interactions occurring during events.

Historically, audience engagement at in-person events has been facilitated through raising hands and passing microphones.

Technology is now available for all types of events, including in-person, online, hybrid, and on-demand.

Technology enables audience engagement through mobile and web-based apps.

The apps support polls, discussion threads, chats, online Q&A, badge games, and leaderboards.

The apps enable audiences that are attending events in-person or virtually to engage.
