High-level overview • Poken technology is an innovative networking "ice breaker" allowing participants the ability to exchange programmed information with each other - essentially an electronic business card. • By simply touching Poken devices, pertinent business information is exchanged. • The Poken devices are pre-programmed with very basic information (e.g. Phone, email, office location, etc.This can be very robust based on registration data collected.) • Attendees are encouraged to update their contact information adding relevant business data. • In order to help facilitate Poken usage and to encourage relationship building, a networking event has been developed.
arriving at the eventWelcoming • Upon arrival attendees receive: • branded poken • A6 Informational flyer** (optional) **Note: The A6 flyer is recommended because Poken is a new product. You may also have well-trained staff onsite to assist attendees. Either way, attendees must understand the product, if they are to make the most of its networking capabilities. As soon as they arrive, attendees receive a poken and an explanation of how it works.
arriving at the eventGetting Started Pre-registration & Onsite Support, though optional, are highly recommended • With poken in hand, attendees: • Are directed to the Poken booth • Posters & or flyers indicate where to go. • There, onsite support help them out • Consisting of you, hired hosts/hostesses, OR Poken-trained people • They further explain the product, if necessary • They link their poken to attendee’s pre-created account using the QuickLink feature. • You must have internet onsite for the QuickLink feature. We highly recommend the fastest possible connection for the most efficient experience. Onsite Support Person Attendee Attendee above, “THE POKEN BOOTH” IF YOU OPT OUT OF PRE-REGISTRATION & ONSITE SUPPORT: Inevitably fewer people will register thus failing to sync their poken, not making the most of their networking experience. It is imperative, then, that you communicate effectively how poken works so people will be more encouraged to use it. Posters, flyers, and verbal announcements can improve the likelihood of their registering later. ARRIVING LATE: If an attendee arrives late, they can either register later when the onsite support people are available or they can register by themselves at their convenience.
