Producer
Prepares the running order and the look of the screen, runs rehearsals, puts activities on air, moderates and downloads the report in PowerPoint.
Get the room talking.
Polls, words, quizzes and questions from the audience, on everyone’s own smartphone. No app, no sign-up.
The result appears as soon as you vote.
Each dot is a person in the room. The stage, in red, is where the speaker talks.
From the seat to the big screen
The audience has nothing to learn: the phone shows only the activity the producer has put on air.

Frequently asked questions
Does the audience have to install an app or sign up?
No. They just scan the QR code on the screen, or open the website and type in the event’s six-digit code. No account, no email: participation is anonymous, with a name chosen only for the quiz.
How many people can take part?
No plan limits the number of participants. For events with more than 2,000 people connected at the same time, write to us a few days beforehand so we can check server capacity together.
Which languages does it work in?
The website and the application are available in Italian, English, French and Spanish. The producer chooses the language of the audience and the screen for each event, and every participant can change it on their own phone. Questions and answers stay exactly as you write them.
Where is the data kept?
On a Google Cloud server in Milan, Italy. Audience answers are anonymous and remain available to the producer for the report; you can delete an event at any time.
Are the audience pages accessible?
Yes: resizable text, high-contrast light and dark themes, and controls that work with a keyboard and a screen reader. Anyone not using a smartphone can also vote from a computer.
What do the AI features do?
They group similar words in the word cloud, flag inappropriate questions and write the event summary for the report. They only run when the producer asks, and they are included in the Event, Conference and Pro plans.
Will I receive an electronic invoice?
Yes, made out to the details you enter at purchase and sent through the Italian e-invoicing system (SDI) to your recipient code or certified email (PEC). The seller is Cédric.iT di Cédric Boniolo, VAT number 04322850282.
Do you sell outside Italy?
Yes, to businesses and organisations with a VAT number in the European Union or in other countries. Within the European Union we check the number on the VIES system and the invoice is issued without VAT, under the reverse charge; outside the Union the invoice is not subject to Italian VAT. Outside Italy we do not sell to private individuals.
Do subscriptions renew automatically?
The Base and Pro plans are paid per operator and renew every year at the same price; we let you know before renewal, and you can cancel or change the number of operators whenever you like. Day, Event and Conference are one-off payments: once the 7 or 30 days are over, the licence expires with no further charges.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Platea is an online service: producers and speakers work in the browser on a computer or tablet, the audience on their smartphones. All you need is an internet connection in the room, even just the phones’ own.
We are a public body.
Write to us at info@cedric.it: we will prepare a quotation for direct award, with an electronic invoice through the SDI.
