@spkrinteractive Awesome discussion going on! As a pro speaker & speaker trainer I feel like a fly on the wall :-) Gr8 stuff! #eventprofs |

@FERevents I have started using LinkedIn and Twitter for feedback from other Event Pros, but even take that with a grain of salt #eventprofs |

@swegl If planners were to rate them on agreed guidelines & share the info, there would be motivation to improve. #eventprofs |
| 12:41 pm |
spkrinteractive: |
Do you get audience feedback at your events? What do you do with that info? #eventprofs |
| 12:42 pm |
iBradWilson: |
@camerontoth @jarondo Good points. Was just floating an idea. I think a bureau that allowed ratings would be very popular, tho. #eventprofs |
| 12:42 pm |
sylviaweise: |
We get our attendees to evaluate all speakers and offer incentives to hand in evals #eventprofs |
| 12:42 pm |
ClimberJim: |
Good speakers want to provide your needs/wants & will adapt. Don't be shy about sharing what you need up front. #eventprofs |
| 12:43 pm |
jarondo: |
@spkrinteractive Most of my feedback is anecdotal. An off the cuff remark on site. #eventprofs |
| 12:43 pm |

evaluate content, delivery, approach etc tabulate-compare all speakers at each event #eventprofs |
| 12:43 pm |

Do you incent your speakers based on the audience ratings they receive? #eventprofs |
| 12:43 pm |
lizkingevents: |
@camerontoth True, but I recently exchanged outlines, expctns & guiding ?? and still felt they didn't perform as they should #eventprofs |

What types of questions do you ask your audience on speaker feedback forms? #eventprofs |

@FeliciaSlattery @spkrinteractive #eventprofs Ditto. Love this conversation. I've been pro speaker for 15 years. Can't wait to share this . |
| 12:44 pm |
sylviaweise: |
@lizkingevents YES and they want it - #eventprofs |
| 12:44 pm |
FeliciaSlattery: |
@jarondo if you think of it, you could carry a flip cam to record feedback from attendees. Then evaluate back at the office. #eventprofs |
| 12:44 pm |
spkrinteractive: |
@lizkingevents More than OK. Feedback should be shared with speakers. ESSENTIAL. #eventprofs |

@lizkingevents @spkrinteractive I can tell you as a speaker I like to have audience feedback to see how expectations were met. #eventprofs |
| 12:47 pm |
jarondo: |
@FeliciaSlattery hhmmmmmmm... I do have a camera on my ipod. I would have to do it on the sly though or they would clam up. #eventprofs |
| 12:47 pm |
spkrinteractive: |
What questions do you ask your audiences about speakers? #eventprofs |
| 12:47 pm |
iBradWilson: |
Just thought of something... would be interesting to see how many YouTube channels we are discussing have comments enabled. #eventprofs |
| 12:48 pm |
FeliciaSlattery: |
@lizkingevents when you share negative feedback you allow speakers to improve. Do it in a constructive way. #eventprofs |
| 12:48 pm |
spkrinteractive: |
Do you ask about entertainment value vs. learning value? #eventprofs |
| 12:48 pm |
ClimberJim: |
Hint: listen to what people say in the hallways right afterwards - THAT is honest feedback. perhaps record it. #eventprofs |

@spkrinteractive those 2 are not mutally exclusive ;) #Eventprofs |

@FeliciaSlattery @jarondo It's important that ppl know they r being recorded 4 legal issues/protection if u go that route. #eventprofs |
| 12:51 pm |

@spkrinteractive - I think there are better ways to ask that question like "Speaker's Mastery of Subject Matter" #eventprofs |

@spkrinteractive - Semantics #eventprofs |
| 12:52 pm |
spkrinteractive: |
@camerontoth Isn't it more important how they communicate the subject matter than whether they know it? #eventprofs |
| 12:52 pm |
sylviaweise: |
@camerontoth Perfect! #eventprofs |
| 12:52 pm |
swegl: |
@spkrinteractive would rate them based on the objectives from our CFP for sure, and then engagement & willingness to hear again #eventprofs |
| 12:52 pm |
lyksumlikrish: |
@camerontoth - 1. Are they interesting to watch. 2. Are they engaging their audience. 3. Are they persuasive #eventprofs #eventprofs |

As event planners, would you want to see ratings from other eventprofs separate from audience ratings when seeking speakers? #eventprofs |
| 12:54 pm |
JaredGolberg: |
@spkrinteractive @camerontoth 100%. Knowledge is key, but the presentation skill on engaging the audience is everything #eventprofs |
| 12:54 pm |

@lyksumlikrish what a/b sharing sessions? maybe all attendees rate them? seems like lot of work, but that's where our issues are #eventprofs |

@FERevents - IML (Shout to @rayhansen) and anything digital and immediate. Paper (how do I say this politely) Sucks! #eventprofs |
| 12:57 pm |
FERevents: |
@spkrinteractive Yes I would, that info may be helpful 2 planners, but maybe it shouldn't b public info 4 legal issues? #eventprofs |

At a #PCMA meeting we talked about feedback forms. Most ppl felt they needed to be at event rather than digital afterwards. #eventprofs |
| 12:58 pm |
Mizcity: |
@spkrinteractive yes, absolutely. There are ratings from eventprofs that would be valuable that audience can't give #eventprofs |

does everyone (anyone) require a speaker blog "x" number of times about your event before your event? #eventprofs |
