Conferences and tech events

A keynote the room is in, not just at.

The gap between a good talk and a memorable one is usually whether the audience did anything. A poll in the first two minutes and upvoted Q&A at the end are the two cheapest ways to close it.

What a session usually looks like

01

Open with a poll

Two minutes in, ask something the room has an opinion about. The answer gives the speaker a real fact to react to and tells everyone that this session expects them to participate.

02

Collect questions throughout

Q&A opens at the start, not at the end. People submit while the thought is fresh and upvote as they go, so by the time you turn to questions the ranking already exists.

03

Close on the top question

Answer in the room's own order. Whatever you do not reach is still in the export, which is the most honest feedback the session will produce.

The parts that matter at conference scale

It runs inside your deck

Add-ins for PowerPoint and Teams are available and Zoom is in beta, so a join slide and live results sit in the deck the speaker is already presenting.

Venue wifi is assumed to be bad

The realtime layer is built to reconnect quietly. A phone that drops off comes back without the person holding it noticing.

Moderation is not optional

Nothing reaches the big screen until you approve it, which matters most in exactly the rooms where a screen is largest.

Sponsors get a report

Participants reached, activities run and response trends roll up per event, which is a better renewal argument than a headcount at the door.

Questions event teams ask

Can each track have its own session?
Yes. Create one event per track or per talk, each with its own join code, and each exports separately.
Does the audience need the conference app?
No, and that is the point. Oratora is a browser address and a code, so it works for attendees who never installed the app.
Can a speaker run it themselves?
Yes. The host console is designed to be driven by one person from a laptop or phone while presenting.
What about attendees who join late?
They join with the same code and take part from whatever activity is on screen at that moment.
Can we brand it?
Paid plans replace Oratora branding with your own on the big screen and on forms.
