Attendee engagement matters

Hosting a seminar is a fantastic way to share knowledge and connect with your audience. But if attendees remain quiet or disengaged, your message can fall flat.

That's where effective icebreakers come in.

Top Icebreaker Ideas for Seminars

Icebreaker ideas tailored for seminar settings:

  • 1. Jam Bingo: Jam Bingo gets attendees moving around the room trying to meet as many new people in the room as possible.
  • 2. Partner Introductions: 60 second speed date. Attendees pair up with someone else in the room for 60 seconds, and interview each other briefly, after which, one partner of each group must introduce their partner to the group.
  • 3. Quick Polls: Use real-time polling tools to gauge attendee opinions or knowledge, sparking discussion.

Jam Bingo is a digital twist to your classic bingo icebreaker and this is how it works! An icebreaker at the start of your seminar can help attendees relax and ease into your Seminar.

Attendees use their phones to play Jam Bingo with prompts like 'Find someone who speaks three languages' or 'Find someone who’s worked in a different industry.'
