Conceptboard is an infinite virtual whiteboard where people can engage and participate fully in developing the outcomes of meetings: online or physical, all together or at different times and/or locations. Everybody’s contributions and current focus can be seen, their ideas added, their concerns addressed, and their commitment built – easily, quickly and powerfully.
The basic version of Conceptboard is free to use, and is an excellent place to bring people together to engage in online meetings in a new and compelling way, and to get people used to the powerful tools and techniques available through the Meeting ToolChest. You can open a free account within the links below, or directly here.
To make this even easier, we have created templates which you can freely download and use within your meetings – simply click on the links below to open them up in Conceptboard and get started.
For best results, use Conceptboard in conjunction with a meeting tool like Zoom or Teams, and get people to login to both so that you can see their faces and their contributions both at the same time.
For those who are well versed in facilitation, we suggest you go straight for the Master Library:
