New normal, new expectations

The world has changed: online community engagement is vital.

People are demanding more of a say over how their communities are managed. And we're used to using digital technologies for everything. So the public expects to be able to engage with public bodies online.

Interactivity without toxicity

Dialogue puts the discussion in the open: group members can respond to everyone else’s ideas and suggestions.

That gets people reflecting, deliberating and working towards consensus.

And with moderation tools, highlighted admin comments and unlimited Dialogue spaces, you can get involved as well, keeping discussions constructively structured and conversations on track.

Hot button topics

Some issues need everyone's input. Dialogue is a perfect platform for decisions that affect a wide audience.

Government bodies worldwide have used Dialogue to get input on some of the biggest questions facing their citizens: coronavirus response, climate change, hyperlocal democracy, budget planning and more.
