There are a few tools, but you need to know what it is you really need. Do
you want feedback from people, do you people to contribute to the RFQ, do
you want people to talk to each other, as in a conference, or do you need
something else? Once you know what you need, do you have a plan to manage
it? You can tell people to all conference-in at a set time, but if you
expect full cooperation, then you will become very disappointed very fast.
