Event feedback questions

Ask few, ask soon, and ask what you will act on. Two or three questions the day after (was it worth your time, would you come again, what one thing would make it better) get more answers than a long survey a week later.

Ask what you will act on

If nothing will change whatever the answer, leave the question out.

Keep it short

Five questions at most. A scale for how useful it was, a yes or no for coming again, one open question.

Ask soon

The day after, while people remember the room. A form on the tables works too.

Say what changed

Tell people what you changed because of what they said. It is the best reason to answer next time.

General information as at 12 November 2026. It needs review before you rely on it, and it is not legal, tax or financial advice; ask a professional about your own situation.
