Thursday Buzz: Ready Your Post-Event Survey

You work hard on pulling off events. And you want to know how well you did.

It doesn’t really matter if event planners receive positive or negative feedback from attendees. What is important is whether they learn lessons from the information garnered in the feedback.

Callie Walker at the MemberClicks blog listed vital questions  (opens in a new tab)to ask in a post-event survey. A majority of the suggested questions are scaled, with ratings, along with plenty of open-ended and a few closed-ended ones.

Walker suggested asking, “How likely are you to attend future events?” “How likely are you to recommend our events to a friend or colleague?” and “Do you have any other suggestions or comments to help us improve our questions?”

Take a look at the list over at MemberClicks  (opens in a new tab).
