What are event surveys?

Events surveys are critical ways for organizers, planners, and coordinators to gain direct feedback from event attendees and vendors. These surveys often include both open-ended and closed-ended questions that provide events professionals with data, insights, and opinions.

Advantages of event surveys

Event surveys can be used by a wide range of professionals, committees, and volunteers to gauge the success of their event, collect feedback, and continuously improve the experience of all attendees.

Event professionals can use survey data and feedback to enhance the quality of their events by identifying areas for improvement that can lead to a more seamless and memorable experience.

Planners and coordinators can derive insights from guest feedback to better understand attendee experiences, from what they loved to the things that didn’t live up to expectations.

Teams can use survey results to assess the relevance and impact of their event, tailoring content offerings such as panel discussions, speakers, activities, and ambiance to better meet the interests and needs of the audience.

Event planning teams can analyze survey responses and make more informed decisions about future events, ensuring they align with expectations and goals.

Event coordinators can learn more about vendors, partners, and and sponsor satisfaction with surveys, as well as evaluate the performance of third parties to foster stronger relationships and improve collaborations for future events.

Event planners can use survey data to refine budgets for future events, ensuring resources are allocated to investments that boost attendee satisfaction and help deliver a successful event.

Events teams can apply attendee feedback to efforts in streamlining event logistics, from registration to venue layout, enhancing the overall experience.

Senior leaders can gather feedback on the use of event technology, from mobile apps to virtual platforms, and learn how they can better optimize and invest in tech solutions to enhance attendee engagement and interaction.

Event planners can evaluate survey responses to make decisions about event promotion, ensuring marketing efforts resonate with the target audience and effectively communicate what attendees can expect.

Sponsors and event teams can analyze survey data to determine the return on investment and overall impact of the event, informing budgeting and sponsorships for future events.

Tips to improve your event surveys

1. Send your survey in a timely manner: Whether you’re gathering pre-event data or post-event feedback, ensure you send your survey soon after registration and the end of the event, and allow respondents plenty of time to respond thoughtfully.

2. Ensure survey language is clear: Write questions and feedback prompts so that they are easy to understand and free of jargon.

3. Provide a mix of question formats: Use both open-ended and close-ended questions, allowing respondents the opportunity to choose the best response as well as provide their thoughts and opinions.
