The Australian Friendly Societies Association
FACTS
The Australian Friendly Societies Association (AFSA) Annual
Conference hosts delegates from around Australia, including senior
representatives of friendly societies, as well as advisors, service
providers and regulators.
With only 20% of delegates providing feedback at the 2005
conference, AFSA was looking for a higher level of participation,
engagement and interaction with the conference delegates in 2006 to
assist in planning for future conferences.
CRITICAL ACTION
IML’s audience response technology was utilised during an
interactive session at the AFSA Annual Conference 2006.
Using IML’s Communicator keypads, each delegate followed the
simple process for providing responses to questions asked via
PowerPoint®.
All responses were aggregated into bar and pie charts and
displayed immediately, providing an instantaneous overview of all
responses, and the opportunity for further analysis post event.
RESULTS
90% of conference delegates provided immediate feedback using IML’s
wireless keypads.
AFSA was able to achieve its conference objectives of higher
participation and interaction due to IML’s audience response
systems.
A greater representation of delegates’ opinions will assist AFSA
in planning for the 2007 conference.
TESTIMONIAL
“The response using IML’s audience response system was exceptional.
We were delighted to have immediate access to the analysis of
significant feedback from a majority of delegates.”
Jane Southwell, Executive Director, Australian Friendly
Societies Association
