I am organising a meeting for next week, is there still enough time to make it interactive?
Yes. Contact our sales office ASAP: +44 (0)845 299 0289. We can organise your interactive meeting in 48 hours.
How much time is necessary to prepare an interactive meeting?
An interactive meeting is prepared in two stages:
1) Choose your questions, the rhythm of questioning, and the degree of difficulty (in the event of an evaluation).
2) Create the questions in PowerVote. If you create the questions yourself, this stage simply depends on your familiarity with PowerPoint. This can be carried out in a matter of minutes. For the more complex presentations and games, we can take care of everything, thereby freeing you from having to worry about deadlines.
In which languages is PowerVote available?
English, French, German and Spanish.

No, PowerVote Quizz and PowerVote Games are only compatible with Windows; however, they can also be used with the new Intel Macs that are Windows compatible.
What is the battery life of the PowerVote voting keypads?
The average batter life is 12 months. However, several factors influence this duration:
- The quality of the batteries used.
- The frequency of use and the duration of use by the participants.
- The storage conditions (hot-cold, dry-humid).

How do I organise an interactive meeting abroad?
PowerVote is present throughout Europe, so our subsidiaries can provide you with the necessary equipment and support wherever your meeting is located. In addition, our technicians are capable of accompanying you anywhere in the world.
If you would like to purchase a PowerVote system and are located outside Europe, we will send you the PowerVote equipment via UPS or FedEx. We have already sold the system to over 60 countries.
What is the minimum and maximum number of participants for an interactive meeting?
Anywhere from two to several thousand participants. The number of participants has very little effect on voting duration.
How long does it take to vote on a PowerVote question?
Voting time is usually negligible compared to the time necessary for reading the question and then choosing the answer.
For a simple Yes/No-type question, voting time can last as little as 10 seconds; however, voting time can last up to 30 seconds for more complex questions and answers.
In general, vote collection follows a normal distribution curve: for a 30-second vote, 10% of the participants answer during the first 10 seconds, 80% answer between the 10th and 20th seconds, and the remaining 10% answer in the final 10 seconds of the vote.
I am organising a meeting in an auditorium. What is the maximum distance between the receiver and the voting keypads?
Under normal conditions, reception is superior to 50 metres (for a room of over 2,000 people).
I am organising two simultaneous, interactive meetings at the same location. Does this pose any interference problems?
No, PowerVote uses several channels, allowing several systems to function simultaneously. Up to 10 meetings can therefore be held within the same small area, without encountering any difficulties.

What PowerVote brings to your sales seminars:
- The case of L’Oreal
5,000 people are trained each year thanks to this system of interactive meetings based on electronic voting.
Each year, the Training Department of Biotherm develops training programmes for the sales teams of its distribution network. In total, 1,113 Chemists and 1,302 perfume shops.
Themes covered include the identity and positioning of the brand, the performance and technical nature of the ranges of treatment, the group’s sales techniques and sequences, and new products. Throughout each training session, the participants, divided into teams, use their electronic PowerVote voting keypads to answer a series of questions, so as to confirm their understanding of the messages being communicated.

What PowerVote brings to professional training:
- The case of Volkswagen
The Volkswagen Group is won over by PowerVote and doubles the number of interactive voting systems for training.
Since 2008, the Training and Human Resources Department of the Volkswagen Group has used the interactive PowerVote voting system to train the distribution and repair networks of its 5 brands (Volkswagen, Skoda, Audi, SEAT and Volkswagen Utility), as well as for the launching of new products, such as the latest Skoda or the new Passat.
This solution allows the department to create interactive, fun presentations, to gather the participants’ answers, and to graphically display the results in real-time with the help of a video projector. Following the success of this method, the Group decided to extend this system to all training courses, thereby doubling the number of its voting keypads for a total of 48 cases of 15 voting handsets each.

What PowerVote brings to events planning:
- The case of PricewaterhouseCoopers
PricewaterhouseCoopers has chosen PowerVote to enliven its “Welcome Convention”.
For over 5 years, PricewaterhouseCoopers has used the interactive PowerVote voting system in the form of a large-scale, interactive game (similar to snakes and ladders) to enliven its convention for new arrivals to PwC.
Throughout the convention, the participants, divided into teams, use their electronic PowerVote voting keypads to answer a series of questions. The results are displayed in real–time, in the form of pawns moving along a circuit. The principle is simple: the faster and better performance of the teams, the faster their pawns move along the game board.
