Step 1: Collect post-event feedback

Attendees

If you want to know if attendees liked your event, ask them. Attendee feedback is incredibly valuable, so be sure to send out a post-event survey or collect feedback on site.

Stakeholders

Your stakeholders have a vested interest in your event, but they’re also on the ground seeing it unfold. Ask vendors, sponsors, exhibitors what they thought worked and what didn’t.

Staff

Whether you have a handful or core staff or a team of casuals on board to run your event, be sure to ask them what worked well and to flag issues that arose on the day.
