Organizations put enormous amounts of effort in planning and executing virtual events, which they host for various purposes. As the event proceeds towards its conclusion, you will probably have an overall idea about how successful your event has been. However, when you only have your own personal experience to rely on, it’s difficult to say how well an event went. 

To obtain actionable insights, you simply need to ask the relevant questions at the right time. 

In this article, we will enlist the 5 most compelling post-event survey questions to ask your participants and gain actionable insights. 

But first, let’s understand what a post-event survey is?

Post-event surveys are specifically designed questionnaires that help event hosts collect relevant information about attendee’s experiences. This questionnaire is often shared online with participants before, during, or as the event concludes and the feedback can be utilized to assess participant’s preferences, optimize future event experience, and  streamline the event management process. 

Though various types of virtual events can be organized with an all in one event management software, no two events are the same and each of these events are hosted with different objectives and goals. Some of them are public events such as fundraisers, some are virtual conferences organized for professional meet-ups, while some virtual gatherings are organized solely for knowledge exchange. Thus post-event surveys for each event type should include event-specific questions.
