If you think the traditional 45-minute keynote speeches with a hundred slides were partly the culprit, you’re probably right. For your next event, your challenge is to come up with varied sessions that keep your attendees' bodies and minds present. You’ll also want interactive activities for conferences that bring out their creative, passionate, and curious selves. We compiled the best interactive conference session ideas so you can choose what matches your event’s energy and objectives. From easy (minimal setup) to intense (takes some time and resources but with significant returns), you won’t run out of ideas to engage your attendees. Why should you care about maximising engagement? Highly engaged attendees are most likely to retain information, form stronger connections with your brand, and report higher satisfaction. Ultimately, this provides valuable insights into your audience and leads to better business outcomes, including increased conversion rates and improved customer loyalty. Let’s dive into your options. 1. Two truths and a lie. Start strong with this harmless icebreaker game. Here, one person shares three statements about themself, something, or someone—two that are true and one that’s false. Then, by taking a one-item quiz or voting on a quick poll, the audience guesses which statement is the lie. Best for: Introducing a speaker or panellist before a session, or getting engaging conference breakout sessions participants to know each other in a quick, lighthearted way. Launch a quiz or assessment in Polls in seconds and let the audience choose which statement about the speaker is a lie. 2. Mini trivia game. Tickle your attendees’ minds and tap into their competitive spirit. Pick a common trivia category, such as sports or pop culture, but mix things up by adding easy, moderate, and difficult questions. To boost participation, offer a small prize to the top scorers. Best for: Filling natural breaks during the event. The mini trivia game is a simple way to let participants enjoy themselves, like when you attend a pub quiz with friends. ⏰ No time to research questions? We gathered over 100 sports trivia in one place, so you won’t have to look elsewhere. Simply copy-paste the questions you like to your slides or build your first or nth quiz on Pigeonhole Live . An example of a sports trivia quiz created using Pigeonhole Live's Poll (Assessment) feature. 3. Open Space Technology (OST) Ever heard of participant-driven sessions? OST tops the list in this category. Open Space Technology is a method of gathering that doesn’t require planning, a detailed agenda, and lots of event materials. It focuses on a central theme, usually a complex problem for which a group of people commits to find a solution together. For instance, a non-profit organisation may host an OST to inspire long-term plans and actions for a vulnerable community. Best for: Bringing together experts from diverse backgrounds, such as engineers, designers, entrepreneurs, and marketers. You’ll need a venue big enough to accommodate these like-minded individuals. Ask them to set the day’s agenda using a word cloud or open-ended poll and choose the sessions they want to contribute to. 4. Unconference. If you want an OST-like event for professionals in the same industry, an unconference offers the same flexibility. It begins with the attendees deciding on the agenda—which topics and activities do they want to tackle? Typically, the ones who suggested the most popular concepts will lead their respective sessions. Best for : Promoting spontaneous, peer-to-peer learning. With a similar setup to Open Space Technology, an unconference surfaces ideas and issues that matter most to your participants, allowing them to work out plans and solutions. ? Try this: Use our word cloud to instantly see topics that resonate with your attendees. Or create an open-ended poll so participants can submit their thoughts and vote on others. Word clouds offer beautiful visualisation of OST and unconference topic ideas. 5. Lightning talks. Lightning talks are the perfect choice if you’re considering compact sessions. This series of fast (but not furious, only insightful) presentations lets each speaker discuss a topic in 5 to 7 minutes. This should be enough to convey two to three insights with brief examples and a clear call-to-action (CTA). Best for: Sparking conversations and keeping attendees engaged. The goal here is to inspire, share insights, and enlighten. But a good lightning talk also doesn’t shy away from being thought-provoking or controversial. 6. Ignite. Ignite is the fast-and-furious version of the lightning talk. Here, the presenter gets 5 minutes to speak but can only use 20 slides that auto-advance every 15 seconds. It’s considered more of a performance than a lecture, which could just be what you need to jazz things up at your next conference. Best for: Offering a many-to-one networking option to leaders, experts, and their target audience.
