Meetings Gear: Cool Tools

Go Interactive, Anywhere
The TurningPoint(R) audience response system takes interactive keypads out of the general session and right onto the trade show floor. The compact response pads fit neatly into a standard name badge holder which enables host organizations to poll attendees throughout an event. The system also transforms standard PowerPoint(R) presentations into powerful interactive presentations with an impact that engages your audience. Trainers and presenters can display questions, surveys, opinion polls, and games that allow everyone in the audience to select a response via their wireless ResponseCard(R) keypads and transmit the data immediately to the presentation.

Look Like a Big Shot
What serious business person doesn't read The Wall Street Journal—or at least know what the front page looks like? That's what makes an ink-stipple portrait just like the ones they run in the Journal a unique business gift that will impress anyone from a C-level executive to an administrative assistant. It's also a great device for adding credibility to efforts promoting seminars and conferences. Instead of a routine head shot, running a WSJ-style portrait will give your speakers instant credibility. Many of those portraits are done by Randy Glass, who is available to do corporate work.
