Feedback

There are a lot of good reasons why you should have attendees give their feedbacks after the event. Feedbacks are important in learning what improvements can be done for future events, and showing the attendees that you are approachable, also that you are respectful and considerate of their inputs.

There are four types of surveys that can be conducted in your event:

  1. Event feedback: Every attendee is able to evaluate the event.
  2. Activity feedback: Only attendees enrolled in that activity can answer the survey.
  3. Sponsor rooms feedback: Attendees who visit sponsor rooms can answer the survey.
  4. Exhibitor feedback: Attendees who visit exhibitor room can answer survey.

You will be able to control and view attendees' responses in real-time.

How do I enable the feedback feature?
