Why Audience Participation Matters
Transform your event from a one-way presentation into a dynamic, two-way conversation with IdeaSketch™. By inviting your audience to contribute their voices directly to the canvas, you turn passive listeners into active participants and create a visual engaging activity that will keep attendees talking long after the event.
This interactive service bridges the gap between the keynote speakers and the audience, delivering value through:
- Inclusivity: IdeaSketch™ allows every attendee—a way to contribute their thoughts and ideas to the event.
- Connection: It transforms your foyer or breakout area into a hub of activity and sparks conversation. As attendees watch their own answers appear on the canvas, it gives them a sense of connection given their contribution to the event.
- Insight: It acts as a real-time, qualitative survey. You gain immediate feedback on what your audience is actually thinking and feeling about the theme for the event.

More Than a Suggestion Box. A Communal Canvas.
IdeaSketch™ creates a holistic loop between the stage and the floor. Here’s why event organisers use it to boost engagement:
- Democratise the Conversation: Keynotes are top-down; IdeaSketch™ is bottom-up. By asking a “Big Question” via prompt cards, we capture the diverse wisdom of the crowd, ensuring the quietest voices are visualised right alongside the loudest speakers.
- Create a “Water Cooler” Moment: The IdeaSketch™ wall becomes a hub for sparking conversations during breaks. As the mural grows, it draws a crowd, sparking organic networking and discussions as attendees identify their contributions and share their thoughts.
- The Perfect Complement to LiveSketch™: While your LiveSketch™ graphic recorder captures the speakers on the main stage, the IdeaSketch™ artist captures the audience in the foyer. Together, they provide a 360-degree view of your event—what was said to the room, and how the room responded.
- Turn Feedback into Art: Post-event surveys often get ignored. IdeaSketch™ captures that data in the moment, turning raw feedback and sentiment into a beautiful, shareable visual asset that proves you listened to your community.
How It Works
We manage the flow so you can manage the event.
- The “Big Question”: We collaborate with you to craft a provocative, open-ended question based on your event theme (e.g., “What does the future of X look like to you?”).
- The Activation: We set up a station with prompt cards and pens. Our artist (or your volunteers) invites attendees to write their answers and post them in the designated box.
- The Synthesis: Our artist works live, visualising the responses into a cohesive, large-scale mural, weaving individual thoughts into a collective story so everyone’s contribution is captured.
