You canโt expect your event participants to be engaged if you donโt bake the right triggers and tools within your planning and agenda.
Most event professionals spend a lot of time:
โฑ๏ธ deciding on relevant topics
โฑ๏ธ securing sponsors
โฑ๏ธ landing hotshot speakers
โฑ๏ธ booking the venue
โฑ๏ธ organzing F&B, AV, etc.
However, when it comes to engagement strategy, things fall through the cracks.
In the best-case scenario, they end up sticking up some Slido questions and calling it a day.
But the harsh truth is thatโs as good as relying on luck.
Inspiring real engagement requires a well-thought-out strategy and the right tools to execute it.
That's why for this episode, Bogdan Maran and Merijn van Buuren invited Clare Forestier to talk about:
๐ก Designing Interactive and Inclusive Agendas
๐ก The Role of Technology in Event Engagement
๐ก Simplifying Technology for your attendees

โ Collect more actionable data points
โ Improve your cost efficiency
โ Become more sustainable
โ Reach a wider audience
โ Have more flexibility
โ Be more inclusive
Once you nail your event formats, there comes the crucial piece of the puzzle:Production.
You need to have the right AV partners and internal knowledge to properly execute those formats.
Thatโs why Bogdan Maran and I invited Brian Monahan, the expert on AV technology and its application across multiple event formats.
In this episode, Brian is sharing his insights on:
๐ก The best practices for mastering your Live Events
๐ก Engagement techniques for your Virtual Events
