How to improve interaction in workshops and events

Let’s face it—getting people truly engaged at events, workshops, or conferences can sometimes feel like herding cats. You’ve got a room full of smart, creative people, but how do you get everyone to speak up, share their brilliant ideas, and actually connect? Enter Involved—your new secret weapon for turning passive attendees into active participants.

Why Should You Care About Engagement?

Imagine this: You’re hosting a workshop, and you ask for feedback. A few people speak up (probably the usual suspects), while others just nod along or stare at their phones. Sound familiar? The reality is, traditional methods of gathering feedback often leave out the quiet geniuses in the room and miss out on the diverse perspectives that can spark real innovation.

But don’t worry—there’s a better way.

Say Hello to Involved.

Making sure everyone’s voice gets heard and that you walk away with real, actionable insights. Here’s how Involved creates interaction, inspiration, and insights:

  • Inspire Reflection and Innovation: With Involved, your participants get to answer open-ended questions in their own words. No more predefined survey boxes. This encourages them to think deeply and share fresh, innovative ideas or gives you access to knowledge that might be blind spots.

  • Anonymously, Because It’s the Content That Matters - Not Who Said It: Let’s be honest—sometimes people hold back because they don’t want to step on anyone’s toes. With Involved, everyone can share their thoughts anonymously. This means that even the shyest person in the room can contribute without fear, leading to richer, more diverse discussions. And you ensure that an important insight gets attention no matter if it was shared by the intern or the manager.

  • Turn Feedback into Action: Here’s where Involved really shines: It doesn’t just collect feedback, it organizes it. Participants get to rate each other’s responses, so you end up with a clear, prioritized list of the most important ideas. It’s like magic—but with data!

  • Easy Peasy, Lemon Squeezy: No complicated setups, no downloads. Just scan a QR code with your phone, and you’re in. Everyone’s involved (pun totally intended) with minimal fuss, which means you can focus on what really matters—making your event awesome.
  • Real-Time Results: Why wait? Involved gives you instant access to structured feedback, so you can adapt on the fly or share the insights right there with your audience.

Why Involved is Different

There are great audience interaction tools out there; you have probably tried them already. They all have their place and are great if your purpose is to keep your audience engaged.

But if you’re looking for something that dives deep into what people really think, creates interaction between your participants, and gives you insights you can turn into action, Involved is your go-to. It’s perfect for when you need to gather insights that matter, not just surface-level opinions.

Whether you’ve got 5 people in the room or 1,000, Involved scales to fit your needs.

Plus, it’s GDPR compliant, works on mobile and PC, and is built for today’s on-the-go world. What’s not to love?

Picture This: Involved in Action

Let’s say you’re at a conference, and you need to gather input on a new product idea. With Involved, you toss out an open-ended question, and boom—everyone’s reflecting, responding, and rating each other’s ideas. By the end, you’ve got a crystal-clear picture of what your audience thinks. Pretty sweet, right?

Or maybe you’re running a strategic planning workshop. Instead of the usual back-and-forth where a few loud voices dominate, Involved ensures that every single participant gets their say. The result? A strategy that’s richer, more inclusive, and totally on point.

Ready to Get Involved?

If you’re tired of the same old, same old at your events and are ready to inject some serious engagement, it’s time to give Involved a try. Involved is all about making your life easier and your events more impactful—what’s not to love?

What our users say
Aspas
Rambøll used Involved for a workshop where 100 participants worked on identifying needs and opportunities for the development of a new district. The goal was to generate a wide range of qualitative inputs and then prioritize them. The proposals with the most support were taken forward for deeper group discussions. The platform performed perfectly — in just 15 minutes, all 100 participants were onboarded, had developed 120 qualitative proposals, and prioritized five for further work. We highly recommend Involved.
