Audience Response Case Studies
Turning Technologies is devoted to providing the best products and services to its customers. More often than not, we hear how successful a meeting or event was thanks to the integration of audience response. In order to share with the Turning community, the case studies below describe just some of our customers' stories with our rental department.
American Society of AnesthesiologistsTurningPoint replaces paper ballots at ASA annual meetings For the past 100 years, the American Society of Anesthesiologists has voted according to association bylaws with paper ballots. After experiencing difficulties in a 2008 meeting, the ASA investigated other technologies for voting. Turning Technologies’ audience response was selected out of a variety of options to provide voting for the 2009 meeting. Canyon Snow ConsultingTurningPoint Creates Interactive Compliance and Ethics Session Canyon Snow Consulting was approached by a client to create a compliance and ethics session that was ”interesting and engaging,” even though it fell on the afternoon of the last day of a week-long event. In order to ensure that participants were interested in the material and not focused on their evening travel plans, Principal Jennifer Shepherd integrated Turning Technologies’ response system TurningPoint. Even though her time was limited, Shepherd was able to get the presentation up and running to create a memorable, engaging session for both client and participants. Clermont County Educational Service CenterEnhancing speaking engagements with interactive PowerPoint presentations Cathy Macdonald is the Technology Supervisor for the Clermont County Educational Service Center (CCESC); CCESC provides professional development for all K-12 schools in Clermont County, Ohio and is among the largest educational service centers in the state. As a seasoned presenter with over 23 years of experience, Cathy was invited to speak at the eTech Ohio conference in Cincinnati on February 14, 2006. She is always looking for new, innovative ways to create more effective presentations that will educate and energize her audience during the learning process. The eTech Ohio presentation seemed an ideal opportunity to include state-of-the-art TurningPoint presentation technology and interactive seminars. Dartmouth AI ConferenceInteractivity enhances a once-in-a-lifetime event Dartmouth AI conference: The Next 50 Years, was a conference which allowed leaders in artificial intelligence research to assemble and examine how far AI has progressed in the past half-century and chart AI's research agenda for the future. Because it was a once-in-a-lifetime event, Carey Heckman chose to implement Turning Technologies' audience response system to create more effective presentations and gather a wide variety of data from a group of people that would not likely ever have the chance again to all be in one room. Eduventures Learning CollaborativeMaking it easy to collaborate with industry leaders Eduventures, the leading research and consulting firm for the education market, hosts annual membership meetings for their Learning Collaboratives. These collaboratives are research-driven membership groups of senior professionals from colleges and universities from around the country. Eduventures' Learning Collaboratives in Continuing and Professional Education hosted their annual membership meeting in Chicago in the spring of 2006. As part of the program, there was a desire to create an engaging presentation that could be delivered over dinner to approximately 90 attendees. Turning Technologies' TurningPoint was selected as the solution to this engagement dilemma. InfoCommThree ways for more effective presentations InfoComm International® is the internal trade association of the professional audiovisual and information communications industries. InfoComm International is the founder of InfoComm, the largest annual conference and exhibition for AV buyers and sellers worldwide. With a variety of industry specialists leading educational sessions, we met up with three thought leaders that used TurningPoint in their presentations, each with different objectives. MPI – World Education CongressTurningPoint gathers valuable information from session attendees and presenters MPI wanted a way to "Go Green" with their conferences. TurningPoint provide the perfect solution to eliminate their usual paper based attendee surveys. With TurningPoint's multiple reporting options they not only were able to save paper but also reduce evaluation time. QuestionmarkIndustry assessment through interactive presentations Questionmark has been providing testing and assessment software since 1988, and around 2,500 customers in 50 countries now use their products. At Questionmark 2006 Annual Users Conference, executives wanted to incorporate technology that would engage their audience and also gather information about its users through more effective meetings. The conference was the ideal forum for collecting feedback with TurningPoint from a wide range of professionals who use Questionmark's products. Sherwin-WilliamsTurningPoint enhances national sales meetings with interactivity Sherwin-Williams' Training Manager, Chuck Mengel, needed a way to increase engagement and knowledge retention at their national sales meetings. TurningPoint's interactive audience response system proved to be the ideal rental solution. The event encouraged participation through friendly competition, which created a learning environment fitting for the Sherwin-Williams employees. The MASIE CenterTurningPoint delivers interactive experience for conference attendees A frequent user of TurningPoint, the MASIE Center has found the TurningPoint audience response system to be the ideal addition to their learning conferences. The size of the radio frequency ResponseCards® allowed attendees to easily wear and use them throughout the conference.
