What's a Shindig Event?
What would a speaking engagement be without audience Q&A? A conference without a hospitality suite? A panel discussion without a meet and greet? A business meeting without break out rooms? The most effective ways of sharing content depend on the audience interaction in the auditorium, lobby, reception area, homeroom, or entry hall.
Shindig's intuitive free-flowing video chat allows you to enliven your community engagement like never before and powers all manners of new and unique online events.
How Can Shindig Support Your Brand?
You're using the Internet to distribute your content, but you're missing the community engagement that develops when the audience and panelists interact in an unstructured way. Now you can avoid these one-way broadcasts that lack a meaningful context.
How about letting your audience meet one another online as they do in your real world events without the cost, administrative time, and effort? Shindig encourages audience engagement by allowing members of your community to talk to one another while interacting with your brand.
Key Features

Event participants see live webcam images of everyone else in the event. A single click starts an instant video chat. Participants can search by name for people they want to speak with or use filters to find other participants with similar interests.
The Presentation Room
Deliver presentations, Q&A sessions, lectures, and more. Speakers can share their screen or share the stage with others by spotlighting members of the audience or their team. Tools for screening written questions to the presenters are provided along with stats on audience engagement.
