Post-event questions that show what lasted after the doors closed
Ask attendees a few weeks later what they still use, who they still talk to and what should change next year. Each question below comes with when to ask it and what the answer tells you.
What post-event survey questions tell you
Post-event survey questions ask attendees what the event left behind once the excitement has faded: what they applied at work, who they kept in touch with, which materials they opened and whether they will come back. A survey on the last day measures the mood in the room, and a survey a few weeks later shows the value attendees weigh when they decide on next year's ticket.
Ask two to four weeks after the event, by email to your attendee list. Usertick sends right away or on a date you schedule up to 30 days ahead, so you can set it up on the last day of the event. Pick five or six questions; the recordings question and the closing message fit best once the recordings are online.
Each written answer is given a category, a theme and a sentiment as it arrives, so what attendees applied and what they want changed can be read by theme. Give suggestions an owner in the inbox, and add the answers to Google Sheets for the planning meeting.

The 13 after the event questions, with when to ask each
Grouped by what they tell you. Use them as they are or change the wording.
What lasted after the event
These ask what attendees still use and who they still talk to, the value that outlasts the last session.
- 02Text
What did you apply after the event?
Asks what attendees put into practice. The answers show which sessions turned into real work and give you concrete examples when you decide which topics to keep.
- 04Big scale
How much did the event change how you work?
A ten point score for lasting change. Select the high scores in Results and read what those attendees applied, which tells you which sessions changed how people work.
- 03Number
How many contacts are you still in touch with?
Counts the contacts attendees still talk to, from zero to two hundred. Results shows the median and the middle half, a fair measure of how well the networking worked once the event was over.
- 07Multiple choice
Which materials did you use afterward?
Attendees pick every material they opened afterward. Results shows a bar for each, so you know whether to put more into recordings, slides or the attendee list.
- 08Stars
How useful were the recordings?
One star rating for the recordings. Add logic to skip it for attendees who didn't pick Recordings in the question before, so the average comes from people who watched them.
Whether attendees come back
Measure loyalty weeks later, and ask what made attendees come in the first place, so next year's invitations lead with the right reason.
- 01NPS
How likely are you to recommend this event?
The recommendation score, asked weeks after the event. Compare it with the score from your survey on the last day to see whether the event held its value once attendees were back at work.
- 05Yes / No
Would you attend again next year?
A plain yes or no on next year. Choose No to read what those attendees would do differently, and compare the share of Yes with the same question from the last day.
- 12Emoji
How do you feel about the event now?
A row of faces for how attendees feel about the event now. Results shows each face's share; compare it with your survey from the last day when it asked the same.
- 06Multiple choice
What made you attend?
Asks the main reason attendees came. Results shows each share on a donut; lead next year's invitations with the reason most people picked, and note how many were sent by their employer.
Planning next year
Ask what to change, where and for how long, and what price feels fair, before you set next year's dates and tickets.
- 09Text
What should we do differently next year?
The open question for next year. Each answer arrives with a theme and a sentiment, so you can filter by theme and read every comment about the venue, the program or the dates together.
- 10This or that
For next year you prefer
Two pairs for next year's plan: the city and the length. Results shows a split bar per pair, a quick read before you sign a venue contract.
- 11Slider
What ticket price feels fair?
A slider for a fair ticket price, from zero to 1,000. Results shows the median and the middle half, which gives you a range attendees accept before you set next year's tiers.
The closing message
End with the recordings, so attendees leave the survey with something useful.
- 13Call to action
The session recordings are ready
A closing message that points attendees to the session recordings. Put it last, so every attendee who finishes the survey leaves with something useful and a reason to open them.
Tips for asking about after the event
Small choices that get honest, useful answers.
- 01
Wait a few weeks
Send the survey two to four weeks after the event. Attendees need time back at work before they can say what they applied.
- 02
Schedule it on the last day
Set up the email while the event is fresh and schedule it up to 30 days ahead, so the survey goes out after the team has moved on.
- 03
Compare with the last day
Ask the recommendation score in both surveys and read them side by side to see whether the value held.
- 04
Give attendees something back
Share the recordings in the closing message, and tell attendees what will change next year in your next email.
