    The 1–10 satisfaction score, how people found out and why they came each get a chart. Share a read-only report link with speakers and your team.

How to read event feedback results.

One score per event

The 1–10 satisfaction rating gives every event a number. Run the same survey after each one and compare. On Basic and higher plans, filter the rating by how long people stayed.

What brought people in

The channel and motive charts show where attendees heard about you and why they came.

What to keep and what to change

Favorite moments and changes are open answers. Export them to Excel, CSV or SPSS on any plan and group them by topic.

How to get more attendees to answer.

  1. Ask within a day

    Send the link the evening the event ends, while people still remember the sessions.

  2. Put the QR code on the last slide

    Attendees can answer before they leave the room.

  3. Keep it short

    Six questions fit into a coffee break. Add a question only if its answer changes your plan for the next event.

  4. Say what you changed

    Open the next invitation with one thing you changed because of the answers.
