The world of conference and sponsored events has not started its digital and social transition yet.
Conferences are still too often conducted like a lecture in front of students - people from the panel speak successively, while the audience waits until the Q&A session to have a say.
Members of the audience want to react to the event in live, and organizers want to feel the pulse - the challenge is to have an « augmented » conference.
Agowall is faberNovel’s solution to broadcast messages on a screen that is visible to anybody in the conference room, attendees and panel alike:
· It can retrieve messages sent by the audience and the panel on Twitter, SMS and email, without having them install any applications.
· Its powerful moderation system, which is very easy to use, enables the organizer to finely handle what is broadcasted (filter messages, get back to specific messages).
· Totally based on Web-technologies, it just requires an internet connection and a Web browser to work.
Agowall can work on automatic mode, with no need for a moderator - in entrance halls and reception people can see the buzz about the event or the company.
Achievements
Agowall has been deployed on the following occasions:
· It continuously runs in the entrance hall of faberNovel’s office in Paris, where a TV screen shows Twitter activity about the company.
· For the SFR Player 2011 event, it has been used in conference cycles gathering a couple of hundred attendees, for receptions and as a Twitter pedagogical demonstrator for three weeks continuously.
· The Rencontres Cap Digital and the Personal Democracy Forum which took place in the 104 in Paris in 2011, simultaneously brought together for a full day more than 600 attendees who enjoyed the Agowall experience.
· The coworking space pariSoma in San Francisco uses Agowall for its events.
