The sweet spot

There was always an engagement sweet spot between the bustling content sessions and intimate 1:1 meetings — that spot provided a highly-personalized space where a small group of attendees can conducively interact and bounce ideas off each other.

Our newly-released roundtable feature aims to capitalize on that sweet spot and work it in favor of our clients, enabling you to create endless possibilities of inter-attendee engagement, including:

  • Pre/post-session discussions that are centered around specific themes
  • Focused group brainstorms for ideas and insights
  • Collaborative hosted buyer sessions that enable multiple partners to negotiate together
  • Group sharing sessions or interviews where any attendee’s input matters

Beyond the enhanced interactive opportunities, each roundtable session comes with the ability to pre-assign speakers and moderators. Much like the usual panel discussions, speakers consist of topic experts that can kickstart ideas before other participants chime in with more inputs.

Of course, this is facilitated by moderators, who are able to grant speaking rights to any roundtable participant at any time, curating a safe, orderly and conducive discussion environment. Moderators and speakers are also able to enter the roundtables before they commence, effectively creating a green room where they can prep their materials before going live.


Superior controls, more monetization opportunities

Those who are familiar with our Agenda Builder on Content 360° can be pleased to know that roundtables will have the same level of control down to every single detail. Augment your event with roundtable tracks that target specific audiences for focused discussions, or open the floor up for free flowing ideas — the sky’s the limit on how you can configure your roundtable experience.

For organizers looking to enhance their sponsorship benefits: roundtable moderation can be entirely handled by your sponsors, empowering them to direct and curate their own event experiences. This can bring certain groups together and immensely increase their participation value thanks to the high level of control.

Making the event experience, together

We’ve not just stopped at virtual events but instead have evolved this collaborative concept for hybrid events by allowing organizers to let their physical attendees be part of the roundtable through the admin link. We can’t wait to see how organizers can get creative on redefining audience engagement beyond the big stages and small meetings.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does an event engagement platform actually do?
An event engagement platform takes static event data (agendas, exhibitors, attendees) and turns it into interactions that actually happen. It powers matchmaking, agenda discovery, in-app messaging, and interactive maps from a single backbone, so the experience feels coherent rather than ten disconnected tools stitched together.
How can organizers automate attendee communications and structured networking?
Attendee communications and meeting management both run on the same fuel: behavioral data and the ability to act on it. Organizers need a CRM that tracks what attendees do, a campaign tool that triggers messages based on those actions, and a meeting manager that handles 1-on-1 and group sessions cleanly. Jublia AI bundles this through Attendee CRM, Campaign Courier, and Meeting Manager.
How should organizers evaluate event engagement technology for their event?
Every event has different scale, audience, and engagement goals, so off-the-shelf packages rarely fit. Organizers should evaluate platforms on three things: how the tech maps to their specific attendee journey, what setup support is included, and whether pricing scales with their event size. The right partner makes this scoping conversation early, before committing.
