VIDEO: Facilitating a great Q&A session

Do you have tips for this in Physical meetings that will not reduce the in room conversation but add to it?

Hi ​@LeanneM.

While not specific to in-person physical meetings, we do have this page with tips on creating that engaging space that you might be looking for.  And if you could use more food for thought, we have this collection of popular use cases as well.

Hi ​@LeanneM 

If you’re looking to boost the in-room conversations, I think you can still fall back on the tried and true “raise your hand” method. Slido Q&A can be a backup for people who may feel nervous about verbally speaking up. 

It may also depend on if your event/meeting is 100% in-person or hybrid. If it’s hybrid, you’d probably want to pay close attention to the virtually submitted Slido questions, but then again, people can still probably raise their virtual hand on whatever meeting platform you’re using. 

I know lots of facilitators thrive on the in-person live energy of a robust Q&A. And if that’s what you’re going for, that’s awesome and you should definitely lean in to that. I’d still recommend keeping slido involved, if only for providing the alternative option for your attendees who may be a bit more shy.

Hope that helps!
