Virtual community workshops for next-level engagement

Take your community engagement up a notch by using our workshops feature. We listened to feedback from our 200+ clients and created a way for you to engage your community members through small-scale, live, interactive discussions.

Unlike traditional video meeting tools, our workshops feature is designed for local governments with your specific needs at the forefront.
