Conferences i/o

Conferences i/o is a web-based system for engaging audiences at live, virtual and hybrid events. It covers polling, audience questions and session evaluations, and is now offered by LCvista with a focus on attendance records for continuing professional education.

What Conferences i/o offers

• Social Q&A — attendees submit questions and vote up the ones they most want answered.
• Live polling — polls run during a session, with results shown at once.
• Team Battle — a quiz-style game that splits attendees into competing teams.
• Session evaluations — surveys completed in the room before people leave.
• Attendance tracking — a paperless replacement for sign-in sheets, with credit calculation.

Who it works with

Conference organisers, continuing education providers and hosts of webcast or hybrid events, including accounting bodies that must record attendance.
