Stakeholder Engagement at Scale

The people your decisions affect won't show up to a meeting. We put you on a call with them.

You bring the message. We handle the outreach, production, moderation and reporting. Fully managed town halls, AGMs and votes — 300 to 50,000 stakeholders per call, for governments, First Nations, unions, health authorities and associations.

20 minutes. No sales pitch — we'll tell you if we're not the right fit.  ·  Why conversation works →

How it works

You bring the message. We handle everything else.

Not a platform you configure. A fully managed service — staffed by an experienced Canadian team from the first conversation to the final report.

1

Tell us about your event

Audience, objectives, format, timeline. We scope everything and return a proposal within one business day.

2

We design and produce

Scripting, outreach, spokesperson briefing, question screening — every detail prepared before you go live. No surprises.

3

You show up. We handle the rest.

Live moderation, Q&A, polling, recording — and a full report with every comment and data point, typically delivered the same night.

Featured case study

Government of Alberta: One channel, multiple ministries, every Albertan reachable.

A sole-source engagement spanning multiple ministries, with multi-event sequences run during routine policy cycles and active emergencies — including a 35-day daily wildfire response. The mandate: reach every Albertan with capacity for direct, on-record dialogue, including residents in regions where internet engagement is impossible.

Government of Alberta — Wildfire Evacuee Information Telephone Town Hall · May 15, 2023
"We set up these telephone town halls in order to provide evacuees with as much information as we could in an unfiltered way." — Danielle Larivee, Minister of Municipal Affairs, Government of Alberta
In their words

What leaders say after their community is finally heard.

★★★★★

"Converso ran daily town halls during the most chaotic two weeks our community has ever faced. They didn't just deliver information — they restored trust."

Matthew Harrison
Director of Communications, Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo
★★★★★

"I have used Converso's services during times of urgency (wildfires, floods, Covid, etc.), and have experienced firsthand their ability to adjust, pivot and execute professional services regardless of the changing details, timelines or urgency."

Sarah Murrant
Executive Director, Public Engagement and Insights, Government of Alberta
★★★★★

"I can honestly say that I have never experienced a more effective, productive and straightforward way to communicate with, hear from, and get crucial input from, thousands of members at the same time."

Guy Smith
President, AUPE
★★★★★

"We have worked with Converso for both our General Membership Meetings and our electronic voting for several years. We are very satisfied with their exceptional service and look forward to continuing to work with them in the future."

Scott Payne
Director of Communications, UFCW 401
Who shows up

Every voice on the line — including the ones nobody else reaches.

Telephone-first design isn't a nostalgia choice. It's how you reach the seniors, the rural communities, and the Canadians whose only access to consultation is the device sitting on their kitchen counter. When the channel works for them, it works for everyone.

Going through the motions → Leading with confidence.

Right now you may feel like you are going through the motions. After working with Converso, you walk into every engagement leading with confidence — and with the record to prove it.

Get started

Know what your stakeholders actually think. Start here.

Tell us about your event — audience, timeline, and goals. We'll scope it and return a proposal within one business day.

Decisions made without real input get challenged, resented, or overturned — publicly. Low-turnout consultations get dismissed as performative. The stakeholders who weren't reached don't stay quiet.

Organizations that can't demonstrate genuine engagement don't just lose the argument — they lose the trust they need to lead.
