Late Workshop: 3:30-5:30pm

Presenter: Elena Harman, Vantage Evaluation

Description: As a communications pro you mobilize communications vehicles, like events and conferences, to achieve your nonprofit’s mission and promote your organization’s progress towards its mission. In doing so, you’ve likely employed a post-event survey to get feedback from attendees, and you may have gotten some lackluster responses that don’t inform your work. In this session, Elena and Morgan will show you why you should ditch the omnipresent post-event survey. Then they’ll share the practical tools you need to implement a fun, interactive approach to getting meaningful real-time feedback and learn from it to improve your own conference or event. In addition to providing insider tips for designing, executing, and engaging your organization in this alternative approach to getting feedback on events, you will work as a group through a real example using this approach. By the end of the workshop, you’ll have practiced using all you need to implement the approach at their next event.

You Will Learn:
1. How to get meaningful feedback and measure the success of your events.

2. Tools you need to implement a fun, interactive approach to getting feedback and learning from it for your own conference or event.

3. Tips for designing, executing, and engaging your organization in this alternative approach to getting feedback on events.
