The Post-Event Survey Kit: 60 Questions + Timeline
This kit gives you 60 post-event survey questions split across attendees, speakers, sponsors, and virtual-specific topics, plus a send timeline and a ready 8-question short survey you can launch in minutes. Send your main attendee survey within 24 hours of the event while it is fresh. Use the 12 questions below to start, then unlock the full kit for every audience.
When should you send a post-event survey?
Send the attendee survey within 24 hours, ideally the same day, while the experience is fresh. Speaker and sponsor surveys can follow within 2 to 3 days. Keep the attendee survey to 8 to 12 questions; longer surveys see steep drop-off after a long event day.
- Same day to 24 hours: attendee feedback survey while memories are sharp.
- 2 to 3 days after: speaker and sponsor surveys, when they have had time to reflect.
- 1 week after: a short follow-up on outcomes (did they apply what they learned, did sponsors get leads).
- Keep it short and lead with the overall rating so even a partial response is useful.
Put a Net Promoter style question (How likely are you to recommend this event?) near the top. It is the single best predictor of whether people will return next year.

Frequently asked questions
Is this really free?
Yes. The full 60-question kit, the send timeline, and the ready-to-send short survey are all free. We only ask for an email to send them and occasional tips, and you can unsubscribe anytime.
How soon after an event should I send the survey?
Send the attendee survey within 24 hours, ideally the same day, while the experience is fresh. Speaker and sponsor surveys can follow within two to three days once they have had time to reflect.
How many questions should a post-event survey have?
Keep the attendee survey to 8 to 12 questions so it takes under three minutes. After a long event day, longer surveys see steep drop-off, so lead with your most important rating questions.
Can I run live polls during the event too?
Yes. You can run live polls and audience Q&A during sessions with Formkii's poll maker and live Q&A, then send the post-event survey afterward, all on the free plan.
