What are Efficient Ways to Collect Real-Time Questions at Events?

Hello 👋 does anyone have recommendations (software, apps, on-site) ways to collect questions during an event? we do not want a live Q&A. My boss suggested a question box on the tables or in the back of the room, but I worry people getting up & down during programming is disruptive. We do ask for questions in advance but he wants a real time question solution. Thanks in advance!

+1 on Sli.do and if you use Google Slides, there’s an add on so you can even show the questions live on the screen as they are submitted

We used Meeting Pulse for Xi Days because we like the sentiment 'Pulse' functionality. They so have all the standard functionality too though...word clouds, question submission, up/down voting, etc. I have also used sli.do and it's great as well.

Which Firm Can Help Plan a Large 2024 Company Kick Off Event?

Hi all, really excited to be a part of this community!

Looking for a DMC/event production company recommendation to help me with the following (*highly ambitious) project: Company kick off event (2-3 day offsite, local + intl travel from Chile) for 1200 people in Jan 2024. Our CFO wants to see 3 budget scenarios for an event in Vegas, SF and 1 other location (Florida or Arizona) by EOW. Recognizing it's not realistic to pull detailed quotes & availability by then, but would love to provide a ballpark p/person estimate at least. Thank you!
