Maximising audience engagement with Slido and klik

Over 90 event professionals joined us last week for our Audience Engagement Masterclass at the superb etc. venues Fenchurch Street.  Delegates heard from guest speaker Abi Cannons, Key Relationship Manager at Slido, who shared some great tips on maximising audience engagement and were among the first people in the UK to experience klik’s state-of-the-art LED wearable technology.

Re-inventing the way we interact with klik

We were delighted to welcome Adekambi Laleye and the team from klik who showcased their smart wearable badges.  Every delegate was given a personalised, interactive badge at registration which, in conjunction with an event app that guests had downloaded prior to the Masterclass, was used for networking, gamification and location intelligence throughout the morning. 

Delegates were able to exchange contact details with their peers at the touch of a button using the klik badges and were able to view all their interactions, access the agenda, speaker profiles and informative content instantly via the event app on their smartphones.

Guests saw first-hand how the light up wearables can group participants by interest during the breakout session and enjoyed a light show to music to wrap things up!

Above: klik’s smart wearable solutions enable event organisers to better plan, engage and measure their events through registration, event programming, networking, location services, onsite staff management and comprehensive live date and analytics.
