A Day in The Museum

One of the best things about this business is the opportunity to work in great places. They don’t get much greater than The British Museum. For the excellent Think!Sponsorship conference this month we provided PowerPoint management in advance of the event, and, on the day in the BP Theatre and breakout spaces. Plenary sessions included interactive audience voting.

If you have not used interactive voting systems for a while, then try TurningPoint, a PowerPoint (2007) add-in that offers a great easy-to-learn system. It has lots of options that you don't need to use first time round, but are worth exploring for post-show data as well for the obvious audience engagement benefits.

I didn't get to see all the presentations. Those I did see were really very good indeed, in that they were truly, 'engaging'. Video makes a big difference. This was a one-day conference packed with insight.

So when we are asked 'Do you get to go to nice places in event?'- the answer is yes, but we see get to presentations rather than the tourist sights! Of course, the real message is that we get to see and to meet new people. That's what conferences do like no other medium.

Thanks to Catherine Hawkins and her entire Think!Sponsorship team for the opportunity.
