I would like to make the presentation more interactive and not sure how to accomplish the task.  I would like to poll and/or survey the participants during the presentation.  Can anyone provide me instructions or a place to find out more?
Further, any suggestions you have for keeping participants engaged would be great.  Thanks for your help.

Hi. We have a quiz/poll plug in. More info here: http://vyew.helpserve.com/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=119

Im not sure if you can display the results in real-time to all your participants though, will need to look into that.
As far as keeping people engaged… this depends on your type of presentation. For a training type session you could have each person break out into their own page to complete a test problem… then as a group go back and review peoples answers. This can be done by turning OFF sync mode, and having pre-made duplicate pages for each person in the room, then telling them how to get to their own page.

This may not work if you have a lot of participants.

What if you made a little game out of the presentation by hiding a small icon in each page, and for each page change,
the first user to point his mouse on that icon wins for that page.... you will be able to see who wins because their mouse (if they are NOT a viewer) will be broadcast on your screen.

If you private message me a link to your presentation and i’ll take a look and think of some other suggestions.

I also like intergrading some funny quizzes to my presentation. :-)
I found this useful guidance for me to create quizzes in PowerPoint, maybe it helpful for you.
PowerPoint for Educators: How to Make Multiple-choice Quizzes via VBA

Besides this way, you also can search some PowerPoint plug-in to help you.
