According to their website, TweetWall Pro is an audience participation tool that streams Twitter content in real time. By pulling in specific Tweet content (hastags, usernames, Tweets from Twitter lists, or any content from Twitter), the audience has the opportunity to engage with each other, event organizers, speakers and brands. But at an event, it can do so much more than just engage the audience through Twitter. Here are some of their special features:

Used alongside Twitter, this increases the number of participants.

As your audience tweets, their Twitter handles are collected for the contest, and you can initiate the contest feature at any time. This feature would also be great for event raffles!

Poll your audience at your next event by using the voting feature! Just have them tweet with a certain hashtag, and TweetWall Pro displays the results.

 From the audience’s standpoint, we at BeatCreative love seeing TweetWalls at events and conferences. At the recent AIBTM conference in Orlando, hundreds of people tweeted the hashtag #AIBTM just to see their tweet or photo appear. I was an avid tweeter that day, and many of my tweets were featured on the TweetWall. It’s a fun, creative way to engage at an event through social media.
