Pay per event?
While talking to people at the Gamma event something that came up a few times was being able to pay in advance for a set number of events, like “6 events in the next 6 months”.

Introducing the textrovert ladder
Lux will share a step-by-step framework that move people from silent observation to meaningful contribution — without forcing awkward “everyone must speak now” moments.
If you’re looking for practical ways to engage quieter participants - while having a lot fun - this session is for you.
Sign up for the free event here (it’s on Monday!)
Oh yes, and there will be cats and dogs jumping on the stairs in this session.
It’s our new, favorite engagement hack to get everyone to pay attention in your virtual sessions.
It’s going to be a busy Monday for Lux. Soon after the dogs and cats session, he’ll be talking about StreamAlive brand-new Gamma integration. This will be part of our usual routine: Monday LinkedIn live session with Neil, Martin, Said, and others.
Join us on LinkedIn Live. It will be fun (it’s also on Monday!)
Weapons of mass distraction
Every distance learning educator wants the same thing: a room where every learner is present, participating, and in sync. But we've accidentally built an arsenal that destroys it. Every time we send learners to a polling app, a reaction tool, or a Q&A platform, we tell them to pick up their phones. And the phone is the original weapon of mass distraction.
Join Lux for this free webinar hosted by the US Distance Learning Association where you’ll learn what in-context engagement looks like when it lives inside the session instead of fragmenting out of it

Join Lux in this free session hosted by Training Magazine and learn how to:
Understand the Textrovert Effect and design sessions where everyone contributes
Build a framework for when, how, and what to ask in the chat
Use AI to surface and respond to participant insight in real time
Transform your Zoom or Teams chat from a logistics channel into the
