The 15-Minute Event Engagement Plan (That Looks Like It Took Hours)

You're an event organizer. You have a million things to do. Sometimes, you're 15 minutes from "doors open" and you realize: *you have no formal engagement plan.* The speaker is just going to talk for 60 minutes.

Don't panic. You don't need more time. You just need an efficient plan and a smart toolkit. Here is a simple 3-step engagement plan you can build in 15 minutes flat that will make you look like a strategic genius.

Your 3-Step, 15-Minute Plan

Step 1 (5 Mins): The Icebreaker Poll

Goal: To warm up the room before the speaker even starts.
Action: Create a simple, 2-option poll. (e.g., "What are you most excited for today? A) The networking, B) The content"). As people walk in, put it on the main screen. It gives them something to do instantly.

Step 2 (5 Mins): The Mid-Session "Pulse Check"

Goal: To fight the "zombie stare" 30 minutes into the talk.
Action: Create a 3-question "knowledge check" quiz based on the speaker's content. Tell the speaker, "At the 30-min mark, we're doing a 60-second pop quiz." It re-energizes the room and creates a fun, competitive moment.

Step 3 (5 Mins): The "Smart" Q&A

Goal: To kill the "silent Q&A" at the end.
Action: Create a poll and tell the audience to vote on the Q&A topic they want most. (e.g., "What should we discuss? A) Future Trends, B) Common Mistakes, C) Career Advice"). It guarantees you're talking about what they care about.
