In 2006 we had nothing but online surveys, which was an absolute failure. We didnt get nearly the return rate we need. In 2007 we had online and paper and got a little better rate but still not what we wanted. So in 09 we changed the method by which the paper surveys were handed out, as well as the method in which they were collected. It seems we have hit on a winner but, in the never satisfied realm, I think next year we will do a split online/paper eval system. Ive also started investigating what it would take to do SMS voting (Thanks for the Idea Andy Warren) Thanks for the comment, Im always looking for ideas!

I'd be willing to bet that most of your attendees brought their own laptops... If your venue has wifi internet access you could get the evals done online and be able to chart the data in realtime! :) The few people that don't bring their laptops could always use some PCs in a common area set aside for evals between talks. Just a thought. :) Ozziemedes (Jeremy) Have you considered doing an online eval form via a website? I'd be willing to bet that most of your attendees brought their own laptops...
