As meeting planners, we all know how important it is to
get delegate feedback about the event we've spent months
planning. Whether the client, sponsors, or delegates paid
for the event, we need to know what worked well, and more
importantly, what didn't
work!
But let's face it - you're too busy dealing with the rest
of the details that will make your event a resounding success!
Do you need someone who can:
- Help you decide what needs to be evaluated
- Use sound, scientifically validated principles to ask the right question, the right way
- Design a simple, effective evaluation form
- Improve response rates
- Input the data from the collected forms
- Provide a complete statistical analysis of all data collected (including response rates, means, standard deviations, medians, ranges for each question)
- Prepare a detailed, client-ready Conference Evaluation Summary Report with a 1-page Overview of Highlights
- Do it all under your company's banner
MedSci Communications & Consulting Co. can handle all of your conference evaluation needs. From developing the questions and designing the forms, to inputting the data and running a proper statistical analysis to obtain the results, we'll take care of it for you. Finally, we present the complete results of the delegate responses in a client-ready Conference Evaluation Summary Report that includes a one-page summary of the highlights, problems and key issues.

Scientifically Validated
Have you ever wondered if your current evaluation forms ask the right questions, so that you find out what the delegates really think? If you've asked too many questions? Too few? Are they the right kinds of questions? As researchers and scientists, we rely on tested, published and validated scientific principles to develop questions that will reveal delegates' true opinions.
Our delegate evaluation forms are:
- Developed in consultation with you, the planner.
- Customized to your event and its unique challenges.
- Designed to measure what you need to know.
- Designed to ask the right questions, the right way.
- Simple and effective.
- Based on scientifically validated methods.
What We'll Do
Ok, so you've collected the delegates' responses. Now what?
Just give MedSci Communications the completed forms and
we will:
- Input all of the
raw data into Excel spreadsheets.
- Run a complete statistical
analysis of all data collected, including response
rate, mean, standard deviation, median and range for each
question.
- For a larger event with a strong delegate response,
subdivide the data by demographic
criteria (such as doctors vs nurses, investigators
vs students, government vs non-government, Ontario vs
rest of Canada, etc.) and run statistical analyses to
determine any real differences in opinion between the
groups.
- Prepare a final Conference
Evaluation Summary Report.
Conference Evaluation Summary

The Conference Evaluation Summary Report consists of 3 sections:

"wow"ed the delegates, what really didn't
work, and any key issues or elements of the event. |
Section 2: |
Statistics
The demographics of the group, and the results for each
question, including response rate, mean, standard deviation,
median, and range.
The results of any additional analyses if the responses
are subdivided by group. |
Section 3: |
Appendix
An Excel spreadsheet of the raw data. |

Sample Price List
Every conference program is unique, and each event will
have different key issues that need to be evaluated. As
a result, the total fee to design the delegate evaluation
form, input and analyze all data, and prepare the final
report will vary somewhat with each event. And it clearly
takes longer to input the data from an evaluation form with
30 questions than a form with 15 questions. But we've provided
a couple of examples, based on real events and real evaluation
forms, to give you an idea of the price range for our services.
