Last week we were able to post something that hopefully many of you found extremely exciting…a glimpse at the IML Connector. The IML Connector is a hand held revolutionary audience response system device. By combining features that traditionally lived inside simple handheld voting device sand combining them with features that traditionally lived only inside smart phones or sophisticated AV devices, the IML Connector is a cutting edge audience response system device that affords the best of both worlds. The marriage should prove to shake up the world of interactive meetings and change the way the audience is able to effectively hear, engage, participate and change the meetings they attend.
Interactive meetings, live voting and audience response systems are on the brink of a major breakthrough. Coming this September, a new level of interactive engagement will provide limitless possibilities for originality, innovation and achievement among your audience. That’s right, the IML Connector is coming this September.
Watch this interview with Richard Taylor, CEO of IML, and learn about the newest, latest and greatest of all IML devices, the IML Connector. See how the addition of a microphone and speaker will allow each person in the audience not only to speak, but directly hear all communication at an event. An OLED screen will allow exceptional battery life in addition to the capability for companies, events and hosts to put logos, moving graphics and animations on the screen.
It’s not every day that we discuss who helps make the Purple Carpet possible. But today, we take you behind the scenes as we welcome seasoned event marketing pro Liz Connors to our team.
Joining audience response system global leader IML as Director, Business Development for the West Coast team, Connors brings eight years of experience in the meetings and events industry.
A graduate of Macalester College in St. Paul, MN, Connors brings an impressive professional background to the IML team, most recently as a sales, marketing & events consultant at Southern California Meetings+Events Magazine.
In the current economic climate, fundraisers face a tough challenge: Trying to garner financial donations when donors simply don’t have as much to give.
And yet, that didn’t stop Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston from raising $1 million at its annual “In Party” silent auction fundraiser.
In a recent BizBash article, the hospital’s three secrets to success are revealed:
1. Keep it Simple. Organizers of the silent auction fundraiser moved away from overly elaborate decorations. Instead of expensive floral centerpieces, paper rectangles spanned each table, spelling out the party’s themes: innovation, inspiration and incredible care.
Where in the world is leading audience response systems provider IML? Right here, in these industry blogs and publications:
Planner Product Review: Read the positive review of the audience response system from IML by Travis Hodge of Elite Meetings International, Inc. Find out why Hodge thinks IML provides the “next best thing” to reading customers’ minds.
The In Crowd: Discover how the “In Party,” hosted by Brigham and Women’s Hospital, reached its goal of $1 million in donations with help from IML electronic bidding technology.
Not all silent auction events are created equally.
But the upcoming Inaugural Integration Auction, Scatter Categories 2010 – hosted by Brand in Entertainment (BiE) – is truly in a class all its own.
You won’t find luxury vacation packages, department store gift certificates or state-of the-art flat screen TVs at this silent auction event. On Jan. 20, corporate and ad agency representatives will gather to outbid one another for the chance at integrating their brands into the hottest upcoming films and television shows.
For charity organizations, a down economy presents a conundrum of sorts: the worse the economy, the greater the need for fundraising donations—and the greater the difficulty in securing them. When brainstorming fundraising ideas, it’s vital to consider how to maximize fundraising ROI.
But which fundraising ideas produce the best results? And which donor groups should be targeted to gain the most return?
Blogger Norman Olshansky, of non-profit consulting firm NFP Consulting Resources, presents some useful statistics to maximize fundraising (based on “Fund Raising: Evaluating and Managing the Fund Development Process” by James Greenfield) in a recent post.
