For every sessions there are two different kinds of session hosts (someone can be either or both):
The Session management-page is available to all hosts. However, as a session organizer you can add some additional information to your session. At Venture Café we don’t allow any hard sales as we believe in high level conversation. However, we do know that people that are interested in what you do want access to more information. Therefore you can add a custom Call to action that suits your needs. We ask you to stay within the mentality of Venture Café and are straight to the point of your Call to action. This will be reviewed by Venture Café staff.
You also have the option to upload your presentation slides. This can significantly extend the longevity of your session. Your visitors can come back and keep learning from you.
In case you lost it, you can find the link to add more speakers to your session a well information about your Think Tank poll – or request one if you don’t already have one set up.
When entering your session, your visitors check in using the QR-code at the entrance. This unlocks the “Visitor Dashboard” on your session page. The visitors can participate in the sesion chat, find additional resources and your custom call to action in order to create a more immersive and interactive experience.
In the chat visitors can post messages during your session. The visitors can like messages so that you as the session host quickly can see top messages.
Engage your audience in meaningful conversations and foster a collaborative atmosphere with our session chat feature. With real-time audience engagement, participants can ask questions directly to the speakers, ensuring that the most relevant and insightful inquiries are addressed. By promoting active participation, you create an interactive experience that captivates your audience and enhances the overall impact of your breakout session or workshop.
Every session has a chat available without any actions needed. If you want to get a preview or post some initial messages you can go to your session page. As a host you have access to see what the Visitor Dashboard looks like already.
The top messages are visible to all session hosts, so that you and your other speakers can get an overview of the discourse at a quick glance. A sure way to spark a conversion into an in person interaction with the visitors of your session.
The chat follows around in our different services, such as the Think Tank, so that the conversation can continue.
All session hosts are able to moderate the chat and as always participants must abide by Venture Cafés community credo.
Engage your participants further with our Think Tank feature, which offers live polling capabilities. Conducting live polls during your session enables you to gather valuable insights, gauge participant opinions, and drive interactive discussions on key topics. Think Tank seamlessly integrates with the session chat, allowing you to create a cohesive and interactive experience that captivates your audience.
You as the session host have access to the Think Tank manager, which acts like a remote. Select the Think Tank question you want to display and immediately the presentation and all the participants’ phones will change to that question!
From the Think Tank Manager page, you will also have an overview of the chat and the top messages so that you quickly can get an insight to your session visitors’ opinion.
Amplify the impact of your breakout session or workshop by sharing valuable resources with your audience. Our platform enables you to share Calls to Action and session slides, providing participants with actionable next steps and additional session materials. By extending the impact beyond the event, you empower attendees to continue their learning journey and apply the knowledge gained during your session.
This information will also be sent out to the visitors of your session the day after through email, and can be found in the “My events”-section on the website.
