Working in Barcelona on two different projects for Technology and Pharmaceutical sectors this month and on one event we came across a new voting method.<\/p>\n

I must admit I was not in favour of the audience using their own mobile phone – but – set the ground rules and this is a successful method of involving the audience and being able to record your results in real time.<\/p>\n

Poll Everywhere is a voting system, you register with the company, you gain access to a dedicated website, you prepare your own questions and invite the audience to join in with their responses via a text or by accessing the web page directly. Easy to use, worked first time for me from my phone via the website link.<\/p>\n

www.polleverywhere.com<\/p>\n

Ask a question<\/strong><\/p>\n

Use multiple choice questions to identify gaps in understanding, or kick off group discussions with a colorful word cloud.<\/p>\n

Collect live responses<\/strong><\/p>\n

Invite the audience to respond simultaneously by visiting a website or texting a number on their phones.<\/p>\n

See instant results<\/strong><\/p>\n

Responses appear in an animated graph or chart embedded in your presentation. Results update live for all to see.<\/p>\n

You use a standard laptop and a switcher between the PowerPoint presentation machine and the laptop being used for the questions – the polling is being recorded live on screen and the audience can see in real time the results.<\/p>\n

So, what are the ground rules?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Phones turned on but set to silent during the presentations<\/p>\n

Text and access direct to the poll everywhere web link needed incase cell coverage is poor<\/p>\n

A robust internet connection with available wifi connection in the conference room<\/p>\n

Charging stations available at the side of the conference room to enable everyone to participate if their phone is low on battery<\/p>\n

After 5 annual projects in Barcelona on Mobile World Congress Bodo our crew chief from our Berlin Supplier is hanging up his Hard Hat and off to pastures new to experience a new career. He will be so missed by our MWC family – Bodo has never failed to deliver his part of the project – keeping his team of men in line – big boots to fill for sure, but we have a year to plan. Good luck Bodo, although I can not help but smile at this photo – as Bodo looks on at Eamonn from Wonderworks dressing a space man prop next to a life size section of the ISS (International Space Station) we had on the booth this year , hahahahaha.<\/p>\n

Maybe you were thinking – I have seen it all now !<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Alberto and I will miss your input and steadying hand on this project Bodo, we wish you good luck in your next work life.<\/p>\n
