Presentation Tips & Tools

We strongly encourage creative presentations that are dynamic, engaging, and promote audience involvement. 

  • Presenters must bring their own laptops. 
  • Projectors, speakers, and internet access will be provided.
  • We will have a limited number of AV adapters at the Registration Table in case you need one.

Using Dryfta Polls

1. Create a Poll

  • Log into your Dryfta presenter dashboard.
  • Navigate to your session and select the "Create Poll" option.
  • Choose your poll type (e.g., multiple choice, rating scale).
  • Enter your question and answer options.
  • Save and preview the poll before the session.

2. Launch During Session

  • Start the poll live during your presentation.
  • Share the poll link or QR code with attendees (Dryfta generates this automatically).
  • Encourage attendees to respond in real-time.

3. View and Share Results

  • As responses come in, results update instantly.
  • Display results on-screen to spark discussion or transition to the next topic.
  • Use the feedback to adjust your delivery or clarify concepts.

4. Post-Session Insights

  • Access the admin dashboard to download poll data.
  • Analyze audience preferences and engagement levels for future improvements.

Using Dryfta Q&A

1. Enable Q&A

  • Within your session settings, ensure the Q&A feature is turned on.
  • Attendees can submit questions directly from the session interface.

2. Manage Questions

  • Questions are routed to the relevant speaker.
  • You can view, prioritize, and respond to questions live.
  • Use the centralized Q&A dashboard to avoid juggling chat streams or emails.

3. Respond During or After

  • Address questions mid-session to keep the dialogue flowing.
  • If time runs out, follow up after the session via email or the Dryfta platform.

Tips for Presenters

  • The function to create polls is only available on the website. People can, however, participate in session polls from both the website and the app.
  • Test your polls and Q&A setup before the session.
  • Encourage participation early to build momentum.
  • Use poll results to guide discussion and make sessions more interactive.
  • Acknowledge all questions, even if you can't answer them immediately.
  • Download and review data post-event to improve future presentations.

Using Dryfta Chat

1. Accessing the Chat

Log in to your Dryfta presenter dashboard.

  • Navigate to your scheduled session.
  • Open the "Session Chat" tab-this is where attendees can post comments and questions in real time.

2. Engaging with Attendees

  • Monitor the chat throughout your presentation or assign a co-presenter/moderator to help.
  • Respond to comments and questions either:
    • Live, during natural pauses
    • After the session, if time is limited

3. Encouraging Participation

  • At the start of your session, invite attendees to use the chat for:
    • Sharing thoughts
    • Asking questions
    • Reacting to content
  • Let them know you'll be checking the chat regularly.

4. Managing the Flow

  • Use short, clear responses to keep the pace.
  • Acknowledge questions even if you can't answer them immediately.
  • If chat becomes too active, prioritize questions or group similar ones.

5. Post-Session Follow-Up

  • Review the chat transcript (available in the dashboard).
  • Address unanswered questions via email or a follow-up post in the event platform.

Tips for Presenters

  • Test your setup before the session to ensure chat is enabled.
  • Use chat strategically-don't let it distract from your main message.
  • Be inclusive-respond to a variety of voices and perspectives.
  • Stay professional and positive in tone.
