Freeman recently unveiled Key Takeaways, powered by Snapsight. This web-based tool uses generative AI to transcribe speaker audio in real time and then delivers clear and concise summaries of that transcript. Event planners delivering learning sessions find this tool useful because it increases the impact of a session by giving attendees an additional method to digest content and provides them with a reference tool. In addition to transcripts and summaries, the product creates word clouds that summarize session topics, provides access to insights from sessions attendees couldn't attend, and allows for seamless sharing of key takeaways via social media. In addition, it provides planners with post-event reports that measure attendee engagement. Contact: The Freeman Co. LLC; Dallas, TX; 888-508-5054; freeman.com
