How does the audience ask the speaker questions during an event?
The audience is in “listen-only mode” throughout the event, except for specifically designated question and answer (Q&A) periods. During Q&A, attendees can ask the speakers questions directly. Much like a private talk-radio program, the audience is instructed on how to queue up to ask a question. The moderator calls on one site at a time, and that site’s phone line is opened up to be able to interact directly with the speaker(s), while the other sites listen to the conversation. When that site’s question has been answered, the site is returned to “listen-only mode” and the next site in the queue is called on in the same manner. Participants also can submit questions via email during an audio only event. Clients can elect to have the questions sent to their site, to the KRM Virtual Seminar moderator and/or to the speakers. During an audio + web event attendees can submit questions in writing via the Q&A console in the web conferencing software – WebEx. Only the speakers and KRM Moderato
