What are Efficient Ways to Collect Real-Time Questions at Events?

Hello 👋 does anyone have recommendations (software, apps, on-site) ways to collect questions during an event? we do not want a live Q&A. My boss suggested a question box on the tables or in the back of the room, but I worry people getting up & down during programming is disruptive. We do ask for questions in advance but he wants a real time question solution. Thanks in advance!

+1 on Sli.do and if you use Google Slides, there’s an add on so you can even show the questions live on the screen as they are submitted

We used Meeting Pulse for Xi Days because we like the sentiment 'Pulse' functionality. They so have all the standard functionality too though...word clouds, question submission, up/down voting, etc. I have also used sli.do and it's great as well.

Where to Find Budget-Friendly Event Venues in Boston and SF?

We could use some help from this amazing community -- we are trying to source venues in Boston and SF for June and our client has little to no money. We've looked at Loft on Two in Boston - and similar locations in SF (but they are just too pricey).

1 1/2 day program

150 people in SF and 75 people in BOS

Need main presentation room + 2 small breakout rooms + space to serve lunch

If the venue has built in AV, that is a plus b/c our AV budget is super small too.

Any ideas you may have is much appreciated.
