About New York Tech Alliance (NYTA)
The New York Tech Alliance is a leader in fostering innovation within the NYC tech community. Hosting regular events at Civic Hall in Manhattan — from emerging company showcases to career programs and celebrations — NYTA brings together founders, investors, and technologists who are shaping the future of the industry.
The challenge
Moving Beyond Traditional Feedback
NYTA wanted more than end-of-event surveys. They needed real-time engagement and deeper insight into what attendees were actually thinking — before, during, and after each gathering.
Forms and surveys kept the conversation one-directional. NYTA wanted to capture authentic reactions, spoken answers, and real conversations — and use that insight to improve their events, strengthen connections, and better serve their community.
The solution
Engagement Before, During, and After Every Event
Jotto gave NYTA a central hub to collect attendee engagement and feedback at every stage of the event lifecycle — turning one-way presentations into dynamic, interactive experiences.
Before Events
NYTA gathered pre-event input and curated discussion topics, giving attendees a voice in shaping each event before it began.
During Events
Attendees shared real-time reactions, feedback on panelists and Q&As, and connected with each other — making every session more interactive and alive.
Post-Event
NYTA collected targeted feedback after each event, building a continuous loop of insight that informed future programming and strengthened community ties.
Jotto enables us to engage with attendees before, during and after our NY Tech Meetup events. The voice and video options help people share more of what they're thinking vs old school surveys.
