  • You can find the link by clicking on the avatar for your chatroom > “Share Code” > “Copy URL to dashboard”
• Join the chat room as soon as it’s ready to begin engaging with your audience right from the start.
• Consider having a session moderator with you on the day to assist with questions and discussions while you’re presenting.

Tips to Enhance Engagement Around Your Session

By following these steps and utilizing Expensify Chat, you can elevate your session to promote valuable interactions with your audience, and leave a lasting impact beyond the conference. We can’t wait to see your sessions thrive with the power of Expensify Chat!

Before the event:

• Share your session’s QR code or URL on your social media platforms, your website or other platforms to encourage attendees to join the conversation early on.
• Encourage attendees to ask questions in the chat room before the event, enabling you to tailor your session and address their specific interests.

During the event:

• Keep your QR code readily available during the conference by saving it as a photo on your phone or setting it as your locked screen image. This way, you can easily share it with others you meet.
• Guide your audience back to the QR code and encourage them to ask questions, fostering interactive discussions.

After the event:

• Continue engaging with attendees by responding to their questions and comments, helping you expand your audience and sustain interest.
• Share your presentation slides after the event as well as any photos from your session, allowing attendees to review and share your content with their networks if they want to.
