The people you serve expect to be heard. Most of them feel like they aren't.
You've run the open houses. Posted the surveys. Sent the newsletters. And your stakeholders still don't feel like they were part of it. Fully managed virtual town halls with phone — we handle the outreach, moderation and reporting. Structured insight from hundreds to tens of thousands of participants in hours, not weeks.
"I have had experience working with Converso and their primary contacts for more than seven years on numerous projects and roles. 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. The customer service offered and provided by Converso regularly exceeded my expectations, including being highly responsive, providing timely advice, and rapidly completing deliverables. They have been a valued engagement partner for many complex projects in the past, and I can attest to their ability to continue to deliver outstanding engagement services in the future."
The people you serve want a say in decisions that affect them. Most of your current tools make that nearly impossible.
The gap between what the public expects and what they experience is what every government is now paying for — at the ballot box, in the news cycle, and in the trust deficit. Every leader who has sat through a low-turnout consultation knows the feeling: a decision made without real input is a decision waiting to be challenged.
Every engagement type, fully managed.
From pre-budget consultations to wildfire emergency response, Converso handles every detail so your team can focus on the conversation.

Alberta Wildfires 2023 — 22 Town Halls. 48 Communities. One Month.
At the peak of Alberta's 2023 wildfire crisis, over 38,000 residents across 48 communities were under evacuation orders. Over 1,000 wildfires had burned more than 2.2 million hectares — ten times the province's five-year average. The Government of Alberta turned to Converso.
Beginning May 9, Converso ran 21 consecutive 90-minute evacuee-focused telephone town halls over 25 days, plus a province-wide readiness town hall before evacuations were ordered. Speakers included the Premier or designate, Ministers and Deputy Ministers of Public Safety, Forestry, and Health, the RCMP, the Director of Emergency Management, the Insurance Bureau of Canada, and the Provincial Wildfire Director.
Converso also delivered over 15,900 SMS messages directly to registered evacuees, keeping residents informed between events. Audio recordings were posted online after each event for those who missed the live session.
"In 2023, Alberta media used citizen questions from TTHs to shape wildfire press briefings the next morning."

What government procurement teams ask us.
Can we sole-source this? +
Yes, in most cases. Converso is on Vendor of Record lists in Alberta and Ontario, and on Standing Offer in Manitoba — which provides a pre-approved procurement pathway for public and broader public sector clients in those provinces. In other provinces, sole-source justifications are routinely approved based on our unique service model, established track record, and specialized expertise. We provide full documentation to support your procurement team.
How quickly can you mobilize for an emergency? +
Within hours. We have run emergency telephone town halls from initial call to live event in under four hours. Our team is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, every day of the year. For active emergencies, do not use a contact form — call us directly at 1-888-982-9594.
Is the platform accessible to residents without internet? +
Yes — this is one of the core advantages of the telephone town hall format. Residents participate using any phone, with no app download, no internet connection, and no account required. This is especially important for rural, remote, elderly, and low-income populations who are often underrepresented in online engagement. Events can be designed for additional accessibility requirements on request.
What does the post-event report include? +
Every Converso event includes a 16-point post-event report covering: total participation and attendance by channel, call duration analytics, geographic participation breakdown, complete Q&A transcript categorized by theme, live poll results with full response breakdowns, and a full audio recording of the session. Reports are formatted for cabinet or council briefing, and are typically delivered within 48 hours of the event.
Canada's governments trust Converso.
