Big audiences go quiet, and phones win.
A packed hall is impressive until the Q&A. Then three people speak and 600 check their email. The session right after lunch is the hardest of all.
Apps lose half the room
Ask delegates to download an app and join, and many never do. The rest are one tap away from their inbox.
Event Wi-Fi gives up
Two thousand phones on one network at the same time. The poll is ready, the Wi-Fi is not.
Speakers talk into the dark
From the stage, you can't tell if the room agrees, follows or has quietly left.

Trusted in lecture halls, boardrooms and conference halls
OMBEA cut straight through those language barriers and had the room on the edge of their seats!
It was great. It's such a useful conference tool because when you're talking you know for sure whether or not you're hitting the right notes and you can adjust accordingly.
The OMBEA system is a fantastic tool in our inventory. Enabling exciting interaction, instant feedback to the presenter, and rich data from the class, OMBEA immediately enhances the learning experience for participants on both sides of the lecturn. Swift to deploy, simple yet powerful; I will be using OMBEA for all of my training presentations in future!
The voting couldn't have gone any better, it was exactly what we were looking for.
We chose OMBEA because they were excellent across a combination of important factors. They had user-friendly software, good quality hardware, and a refreshing approach to post-sales support. Their attention to support has been brilliant.
OMBEA makes everything so much more interactive and the delegates keep telling us how much they enjoy it. The support we get from the team is great and we love having them at our conferences!
So far we've used the charts and graphs in presentation meetings to build the story around team engagement and particular areas of interest. … the OMBEA data has made it much simpler to get buy-in from around the business.
OMBEA couldn't have been easier to set up. Everything was so simple to use. The students really enjoyed using it and it's often quoted in their feedback to us as being an enjoyable part of the day!
The delegates like the interactivity and the speed with which their marks come back to them. The admin time saved alone makes OMBEA an amazing investment as all the data is in Excel and can be merged and reviewed instantly!
The students responded very positively to the OMBEA system. Mixing the clickers and apps made it very flexible and they found it easy to use. From a lecturer's point of view, it made lectures more interesting and it is much easier to use than our existing response technology.
OMBEA is proving a great asset to the delivery of our staff development activities. We have been able to use it for staff focus groups, induction events and team away days. It is very easy to use and set up and so far people have been interested and excited to use it. It increases interactivity in a session and the instant results mean that the sessions are very open. Using OMBEA encourages discussion and engagement. The feedback has been great!
Ombea is easy to manage and grows alongside your business.
OMBEA has been a great maths resource but also a useful cross-curricular too with a maths link in mind. It's also great for feedback in line with the 1/2/3 system we have in place to encourage self assessment and to identify and address any particular misconceptions. It's fantastic for data handling and compiling data to use with the class. Overall it's a great piece of kit and I love that we can tailor it so easily!
In some of my courses I might have up to 350 students. It can be tough to get them all to join in, but participation is vital for learning. OMBEA's clickers provide a great solution for this. Using OMBEA's systems, students effectively learn from one another, and their learning has benefited enormously as a result.
OMBEA Response gives me real-time feedback on how my audience is listening to and learning from my presentation. An astoundingly simple and powerful tool!
OMBEA's instant class results save time and give the students the opportunity to pursue their own development and performance.
I now test the class on a continuous basis, rather than having two exams for each learning module. And there's no extra marking to do, either.
We get access to valuable information that we can use. OMBEA is also greatly appreciated by the participants who think it's a fun and rewarding element of the day.
Good questions
Do delegates need to download an app?
No. A ResponsePad needs no app, no log-in and no pairing. Hand it out at registration and it works the moment someone presses a key.
What if the venue Wi-Fi is overloaded?
It doesn't matter. ResponsePads use their own radio link to a USB receiver, up to 100 meters away. No Wi-Fi or internet needed.
How many delegates can vote at once?
Up to 2,000 in one session. That covers most plenary halls.
Our speakers use Keynote or their own laptops. Does that work?
Yes. OMBEA Response runs inside PowerPoint, and OMBEA Response 360 works next to any presentation tool on Windows and Mac. Questions show up over whatever deck is on screen.
Can we rent clickers for one event?
We don't rent. You buy the ResponsePads once, the software is free and there is no subscription. The battery lasts about three years, so the same set covers many events.
