Increase Convention Engagement With CrowdUltra’s Award-Winning Audience Interaction App
One of the most important aspects of any convention is audience interaction. Whether it be an anime convention, comic convention, or sci-fi convention, audience
engagement is really what fuels the convention experience and makes the occasion special. No matter the convention, there is immense value in utilizing CrowdUltra to
improve audience interaction and the occasion as a whole. CrowdUltra is the only free all-in-one event platform and has been named Eventplanner.net’s Best Event App
for two years in a row. See how CrowdUltra’s revolutionary event app allows any convention to properly tailor audience interaction and facilitate convention engagement.
Conventions can create a CrowdUltra Channel for free. CrowdUltra Channels establish an organized social hub for the convention, increasing connection, engagement,
awareness, and event attendance. Upon creating a Channel for the convention, Channel Events can then be added for various aspects of the convention such as panel
Q&A’s, keynote speeches, performances, and workshops. Events foster organized engagement regarding the aspect of the convention, establish an organized location to
provide robust information, and enables attendees to stay on top of everything.
Channels and Events have a chat for all crowd members, Host(s), and speaker(s)/guest(s) to communicate with one another through text message. Channel/Event chats foster
organized communication surrounding the specific Channel or Event, strengthening connection and increasing engagement while never getting in the way of Event or daily
Feed engagement. Crowd members can also create their own personal group chats with other crowd members for every Channel and Event, allowing for private communication
among friends regarding the Channel or Event.
Conventions can enable several different forms of Event Engagement, including Event Q&A, Posts, Call-Ins, and Meet & Greets. The different audience interaction avenues
allow conventions to increase engagement surrounding different aspects of the convention by tailoring the best form of organized audience interaction. Event Engagement
can not only be utilized for aspects of conventions like panels, but also to better empower sponsors and exhibitors of all types.
Conducting Q&A is often an essential part of the occasion, providing immense value to conventions. The standard nature of standing in line or passing a microphone around
to ask a question is far less effective and efficient than using CrowdUltra. Slido and other commonly used outlets are also limited in comparison to CrowdUltra.
On CrowdUltra, questions are displayed in an ordered list from highest to lowest rank based on Crowd voting to assist in showing the Host or moderator what the Crowd has
the most curiosity about, saving time. The need for a moderator may be entirely eliminated by using CrowdUltra as well. Questions can be allowed to be asked before,
during, after, or some combination of the three. Questions can be asked and answered in audio, video, or written format on any device. Questions can be asked in general
as well as to a specific Host or Speaker and Hosts can also allow Questions to be asked anonymously. Questions can also be marked as answered if they were answered
verbally during the Event or dismissed to take them off the list and hide them.
Conventions can also allow users to easily post, share, and connect on any device surrounding the occasion via Event Posts on CrowdUltra. By sparking interaction in an
organized environment, conventions can increase connection surrounding the occasion and the effectiveness of social engagement. By allowing the Crowd to share their
experience, be creative, have fun, as well as inform and help others, any convention will augment the experience. CrowdUltra Posts are far more organized and effective
than social platforms like Facebook and Twitter.
Event Posts can be enabled before, during, after, or some combination of the three. Hosts can allow the Crowd to post audio, video, images, links, YouTube/Vimeo videos,
or written posts. Anonymous Posts can also be published if allowed by the Host. Event Posts are displayed in an ordered list from highest to lowest rank based on Crowd
voting. Every post can be responded to by Hosts and Guests/Speakers. They can respond with audio, video, images, links, YouTube/Vimeo videos, or in written format. Posts
can also be highlighted to spotlight to the Crowd as a whole or dismissed and removed from the list.
Conventions can also engage in Event Call-Ins or Meet & Greets between convention planners, talent, or sponsors/exhibitors and the Crowd. Attendees can be enabled to
either join an ordered queue or submit their conversation topic to pre-screen. One or more attendees can then interact through audio or video chat. Once the conversation
is over, those hosting the Call-In/Meet & Greet can remove attendees from the chat and automatically be linked with the next audience member in the queue or select the
next interesting topic. The audio or video chat can also be recorded to Dropbox or recorded and livestream broadcast to YouTube.
Conventions can also engage with attendees all throughout the year in multiple ways through CrowdUltra’s daily feed. Their feed is designed to enhance engagement by
sparking communication in an effective way and extending awareness. Unlike other social platforms, CrowdUltra provides access to every follower instead of less than one
to ten percent, does not advertise on their daily feed, or use algorithms to manipulate effectiveness and reach.
Hosts can ask daily questions to their Crowd in audio, video, or written format as well as answer questions from members of their Crowd. They can also send daily
announcements to keep Crowd members in the loop and share content using CrowdUltra’s Rich-Text/HTML editor with countless embeddable integrations. Event info can also be
reposted to the CrowdUltra daily feed as a feed announcement. Announcements can then be reposted by members of your Crowd to everyone following them as well.
CrowdUltra is a robust all-in-one event app, offering far too many other features and functionality to discuss. Those interested in learning more can do so
