IML adds tablet to portfolio of audience response products

Paul Milligan, September 26, 2012

IML Worldwide has launched a new tablet product to add to its suite of audience interaction systems used at more than 2,500 events each year. The interface can be customised for clients to support brand awareness, increase messaging strength and boost sponsorship opportunities.

Richard Fisher, CEO of IML Worldwide said: “The IML Tablet can be used as a stand-alone tool, or as many clients have found, in conjunction with other solutions, such as the IML Connector, to provide a rich and collaborative environment for delegates. Whilst the IML Tablet complements our existing solutions suite, we are not stopping there. There will be plenty of new development announcements in the coming months.”

The IML Tablet comes preloaded with a feature set including agenda management, speaker biographies, slideshow presentations and voting.

Additionally the tablets can be customised to suit client requirements and content can be updated or augmented during an event using IML’s live content management system.

The messaging module built into the IML Tablet is a two-way collaboration tool with messages sent directly to the tablets, as well as attendees sending messages to the meeting moderator.

Selected messages can be sent to the IML Tablet’s home screen, creating a Q&A session. Voting can be pre-programmed by the event organiser with pre-designed questions and answer choices, or questions may be created on an ad hoc basis at any point. Results are immediately saved and shown on the tablet and a central screen if desired.

Delegates also have access to a Notepad with notes securely stored online and accessible at any time from any tablet using a secure pin.
