The National Veterinary Congress gathers the top specialists in animal care, members from veterinary clinics, insurance companies and scientists. The congress consists of nearly a hundred seminars and lectures spread out over five main halls and also contains a fair that showcases news from the industry. To ensure both attendees and sponsors are satisfied they use GreatRate to collect feedback during the event.
The National Veterinary Congress uses GreatRate for four main purposes.
1. Identify which parts of the seminar program need to be improved – the place and time.
2. Monitor satisfaction level live to make instant improvements.
3. Analyze which factor of the entire event that had the highest impact for long term improvements.
4. Engage participants with live polls.
For the three first purposes the floorstand kiosk was chosen to catch the attendees feedback. For the live polls smartphones are used. At the opening speech everyone is informed on how to give feedback during the event.
One or more floor stand kiosks are placed at the exits of each main hall. In this way the managers know the location of the collected feedback. By using GreatRate’s scheduling function the question(s) automatically change to address the specific seminar at the right time. With this information they can compare how well different parts of the program are rated, and what to focus on.
The managers don’t want to wait with an improvement if there is a possibility they can make a change instantly. Directly after parallel seminars are rated, they can go to the place with the lowest rating and solve the problem.
At the end of the entire event the floorstand kiosks are placed at the exit, to capture everyones feedback regarding overall satisfaction and five factors. On the first page the question is: “How satisfied are you with the congress?”. On page two they rate these factors: Program, Speakers, Activities, Fair and Staff. It is optional to write their own suggestions. The analyzed result shows which factor had the greatest impact on both the satisfied and the dissatisfied respondents. With this information they know what they need to improve until next time – and what they should keep doing to have satisfied attendees.
Collecting feedback at the time of the experience has advantages compared to a survey days afterwards.
The National Veterinary Congress uses live polls to interact with the attendees. Since the congress is about science and new knowledge live questions like: “Which method do you think is the most effective?” or “What do you think is the pet owners’ main concern when their animal is sick?” adds to the experience. They are given 3-5 options to choose from. The results are instantly shared on the projector screen, and the correct (and often surprising) answer is then revealed. With their own smartphones the participants go to the event page and open the live seminar link.
