Tech Lab SeriesWith so many online tools available for stakeholder engagement (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 the 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: 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?

About EngagingPlans
Engaging Plans by Urban Interactive Studios is an online engagement solution tailored to practitioners' needs—a rarity in today's world of one-size-fits-all web applications. It solves the dilemma many organizations face as communication moves increasingly online and more citizens expect the convenience of having information readily available on the web.
Agencies are recognizing the value of online communication among stakeholders, citizens, and decision-makers, but often can't afford the financial or administrative outlay required to maintain an effective web presence dedicated to a specific engagement project. EngagingPlans enables the rapid launch of an interactive website and engagement management system, with minimal effort and no special technical skills required.
Join UIS founder Chris Haller to learn more about the EngagingPlans online tool and to hear tips about successful online engagement based on his experience working with agencies and nonprofits.
Agenda:
• Welcome and brief introductions (3 minutes)
• Review of EngagingPlans' core features (25 minutes)
• Questions/Discussion (30 minutes)
