Audience Response
Caterers
Presentation Testing, Inc.
This dial captures every moment
Test Your Audience's Reaction
Want to engage every single person in your audience? Here's one
great way: Let them provide continuous feedback on a meeting or
speaker's presentation.
Presentation Testing uses the latest hand-held dial technology to
track moment-by-moment an audience's reaction to a meeting or
presentation. When an audience gets bored or confused, we know it
right away. The information we gather can strengthen meeting topics
or presentations as they happen, or be used to improve a speaker's
performance the next time around. Either way, your audience
remains engaged and entertained, your speaker gets accurately and
thoroughly evaluated, and your meetings and conferences become
a success.
