Tech Lab Series

With so many online tools available for stakeholder engagement (as of today, there are 140+ on the Participate DB database alone), it's sometimes hard to differentiate among them.  How do you know which tool is best for your project or organization?

To help you sort through the clutter, we've created a new Tech Lab series. This occasional series will feature programs about a variety of tools used for engagement.

In each 60-minute program, you'll learn about a tool's capabilities and key features. You'll get to see the actual tool in use and ask questions if you wish.

These Tech Lab sessions are valuable for:
 •  Benchmarking the tool(s) you use now against what's available.
 •  Learning about new or existing tools in the marketplace.

They're also are ideal for narrowing your short list of prospective tools, as you consider upgrading or changing what you're presently using.

Tech Lab programs are recorded and later made available for on-demand viewing on the PublicDecisions website.

Registration is free of charge for Circle Club members, and no one will contact you about the tool unless you request it.

Have a tool you'd like to see featured as part of the Tech Lab series? Contact us.
