See-Through Masks from Meeting Shields

Masks have become the new normal in the world we are living in today. As we begin to meet face-to-face, masks can seem to feel like you are disconnected because you cannot see each other’s facial expressions.

Meeting Shields is currently developing a new face mask that has a see-through mouth part that allows you to better understand each other when speaking and feel more connected. The mask also has an eye protection piece to provide you with an extra layer of protection.

At Meeting Sites Pro, it is important to us that even in our current situation we are finding ways to safely bring people together to meet and create connections.

Attendee Engagement Best Practices - Meeting Supplies from Sensational Baskets

Events are meant to bring people together, during this virtual time in the world its important to try and integrate that connection into your virtual events. Sending attendees something before the event can help create excitement and anticipation for the presentation.

During our webinar last week on attendee engagement, we heard from the president of Sensational Baskets, Helen Taffet. Sensational Baskets has a variety of basket types including custom baskets created for clients, seasonal baskets and much more. For your next virtual meeting try sending clients a custom basket with the agenda and goodies for everyone to enjoy during the meeting. This will make attendees excited for the presentation and make them feel special for receiving something unique in the mail.

At Meeting Sites Pro, we are always looking for new and innovative ways to get attendees excited about our meetings before they even arrive!

Attendee Engagement Best Practices - SongDivision

During our weekly virtual webinar last week, we learned from one of our presenters at Song Division about fun and interactive games using music to keep attendees engaged throughout presentation. Song Division’s passion is believed that music is used to make events engaging and powerful. Music during a virtual event can give people hope during this time of uncertainty.

Song Division has experience with many platforms and uses many interactive games such as music trivia and "finish the line". One of our personal favorites here at Meeting Sites Pro., is the activity SongDivision hosts at the end of an event where they perform a song written during the event summarizing the key points for attendees to take with them.

Watch our recording from last weeks Webinar and wait for the end to see the song created by our Song Division presenter Benji Harris. It was written on the fly in just 7 minutes and wraps up some of our key points on Attendee Engagement!

Attendee Engagement Best Practices - Wildly Different Teambuilding

As we continue to hold virtual meetings, it is important to find interactive ways to keep attendees engaged and still connected. We heard from the CEO of Wildly Different, Lisa Jennings, on how her team is creating engaging virtual activities to implement in your next meeting!

The games are generated straight from your phone and come in a variety of themes for groups to try and solve. If the meeting is held over zoom, people can breakout into different private rooms and solve the puzzles together. This will give attendees the opportunity to connect and interact with one another and take a break from the presentation.

At Meeting Sites Pro, we are always looking for ways to build a connection between attendees as we learn to navigate through this time of virtual events. We have partnered with Wildly Different on a face to face event and are excited to hear about their success in the virtual arena.

Attendee Engagement Best Practices - Appealing Content from Sides Creative Agency

As we continue to explore the world of virtual events, a topic that becomes even more important is how to create engaging content for attendees. On our latest webinar discussing attendee engagement, we heard from Dan Sides, the owner of Sides Creative, on some of his best practices he incorporates in his content for clients

Limit to two fonts and use color as accent
Get rid of clutter and let the white speak for itself
Keep writing large and limited (under 25 words per slide and over size 18 font)
For a presentation, move the slides in a timely manner
Keep it simple!

By implementing these best practices in your flyer or presentation, your material will stay appealing and easy to read. During presentations, this helps keep attendees engaged throughout the meeting whether in person or virtual.

At Meeting Sites Pro, we are always looking for ways to implement new best practices in our content to keep attendees engaged during our meetings!
