Enjoy Easier, Better Council Meetings
With electronic voting, request-to-speak discussion management, automatic documentation, and more, the OpenMeeting Technologies meeting management system offers the tools you need to streamline your council meetings.
Do you dread your council meetings?
Are your meetings difficult to get through?
Your meetings and legislative processes are inefficient, time-consuming, disorganized, and sometimes even frustrating.
Do your meetings make you look bad?
As the public watches you in action, their perception of your competence declines because of your inefficient processes.
Are your meetings difficult to follow?
It’s difficult for citizens to know who is currently speaking, how their representative votes, and to follow the meeting in general.
We’ve created the solution for easy, streamlined, and transparent council meetings.
Streamline the Meeting Process
Electronic roll call, motions, seconds, and voting on a smart tablet enables smooth, efficient meeting processes and accurate records.
Run Organized & Orderly Meetings
Councils members are prompted to take action on items when necessary. They can even request to speak to be added to a speaker queue during discussion.
Boost Public Transparency & Confidence
Council members and citizens in the audience can easily follow along with the meeting with a display that visually communicates all meeting actions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the OpenMeeting Technologies software user-friendly?
Yes! OpenMeeting’s design philosophy is “what you see is what you need.”
We design simple, purpose-built solutions with our users in mind, specifically for ease of use. Our greatest compliment is when we hear a council member say, “This is easy!”
Does OpenMeeting Technologies offer training and support?
OpenMeeting’s customer success can be reached 24/7.
OpenMeeting operates with a customer-centric philosophy. We even have a former clerk as our Customer Success Manager to aid in onboarding and support.
How long does it take to get this software up and running?
We’ve had customers set up, trained, and live in just a few weeks!
We typically like to allow a month from implementation to go live, but we can move as fast as you want us to.
What is required to run the system?
This system requires:
- Tablets for each council member.
- A laptop or computer to run the clerk’s meeting manager.
- One or two large monitors to enable the visual display.
We don’t provide this equipment because we know everyone has their own tech preferences, but we do offer recommendations.
How does the cost structure work?
There is a single, flat-rate, one-time cost for implementation, setup, and training and an annual license that includes unlimited members, unlimited meetings, training, support, and platform updates.
Optional committee sublicenses are available.
