Frequently Asked Questions

What dimensions should I evaluate speakers on?

Key dimensions include content quality (accuracy, relevance, depth), delivery skills (clarity, pace, energy), audience engagement (interaction, Q&A handling), visual aids (slides, demos), and time management. Our template covers all these with customizable weights.

How do I collect anonymous speaker feedback?

The form can be configured to collect anonymous feedback by removing the optional contact section. This encourages honest responses while still gathering actionable insights for speaker improvement.

When should attendees complete speaker evaluations?

Ideally within 24 hours of the session for accurate recall. Many events use QR codes at the end of sessions or automated email follow-ups immediately after each talk to maximize response rates.

How can I share feedback with speakers?

Export aggregated ratings and anonymized comments to share with speakers. Focus on actionable insights: what worked well, areas for improvement, and specific suggestions. Our form structures feedback to make this easy.

Can I compare speaker ratings across sessions?

Yes. Using consistent rating scales (1-5 stars, Likert scales) allows you to benchmark speakers against each other and against event averages. The matrix questions provide standardized comparable data.
