No More Microphone Lines That Eat Half the Panel

Attendees submit questions from their phones in real time. Moderators approve, dismiss, and feature them. The best questions appear on stage screens or get fed straight to the host. Every panel runs faster and the questions are actually good.

Overview

Microphone-line Q&A is broken. The first ten minutes are eaten by people who want to make speeches, the second ten by introverts who finally got brave, and by the time you get to good questions the panel is over. Confanum fixes this with a moderated digital queue: every attendee can submit a question from their phone, moderators triage in real time, and only the best questions reach the panelists.

Submitted questions appear in a moderation queue alongside the submitter's name. Moderators tap to approve, reject, feature, or merge duplicates. Approved questions can be displayed on stage screens for upvoting, fed to the host's tablet for selection, or simply read aloud at the right moment. Attendees see their own question's status and upvote others.

Combined with the rest of your platform, every Q&A session is connected to its schedule item, attached to its panel guests, and archived for next year's planning.

Key Capabilities

📲

Submit From Phone

Attendees open the app, tap the active panel, and submit a question. No mic lines, no awkward stand-up moments. Quiet attendees get heard for the first time.

👁️

Moderation Queue

Every submission lands in a real-time queue with name, question, and timestamp. Moderators approve, reject, feature, or merge duplicates with a single tap.

Featured Questions

Mark the best questions as featured. They float to the top of the queue and can be displayed on stage screens or pushed directly to the host's tablet.

👍

Attendee Upvoting

Attendees see approved questions and upvote the ones they want answered. Crowd-sourcing surfaces the questions everyone is wondering about.

📺

Stage Display Mode

Cast a clean, large-text view to a stage screen showing approved questions and upvotes. Hosts pick from the screen, panelists read along, audience tracks what's coming.

🔇

Filter Bad Actors

One-tap mute for repeat offenders. Pre-screen with profanity filters, length limits, and required attendee identity. Stop derailers before they take over.

📂

Per-Session History

Every panel keeps its full Q&A archive — submitted, featured, dismissed. Pull lists for follow-up, content marketing, or next year's panel planning.

🔗

Tied to Schedule

Each Q&A is linked to a schedule item, panelists, and time slot. Open the panel from the schedule and you see its Q&A. No separate tools to wire up.

How It Works

Step 1

Enable for a Panel

Toggle Q&A on for any schedule item. Attendees can submit from the app the moment the session starts.

Step 2

Moderators Triage

One or more moderators work the queue from a tablet or laptop. Approve, reject, feature. Dismiss spam in seconds.

Step 3

Host Picks the Best

Featured and upvoted questions surface to the host. Read them aloud or display on stage. Panel runs faster, content is sharper, every panelist stays engaged.
