Capture Feedback While Attendees Are in the Room
Collecting feedback days after an event rarely yields high-quality insights. When attendees leave the venue, response rates drop significantly because participants forget specific presentation details and return to their daily routines. Capturing responses immediately at the end of a talk or workshop ensures that opinions, ratings, and suggestions are fresh and accurate.
OnlinePoll enables event organizers and corporate trainers to gather feedback in real time without forcing participants to download specialized software. Attendees use their standard mobile browser by pointing their camera at a projected code. The survey opens instantly, allowing participants to rate speakers, answer multiple choice questions, or leave written suggestions before standing up to leave.
For example, a conference organizer running a 45-minute keynote can present a short three-question survey covering speaker clarity, content relevance, and key takeaways. Because the process takes less than a minute, session rooms routinely capture high response volumes directly from the audience.
Structure Feedback by Event, Hall, and Session
Large events require structured data collection so organizers can identify which individual sessions performed well and which need improvement. OnlinePoll provides a flexible organization tree that supports unlimited hierarchy depth and customizable node types.
Organizers can configure a multi-level structure that mirrors their physical venue layout and schedule:
- Event level: The top node representing the entire conference or annual training program.
- Hall level: Intermediate nodes for specific auditoriums, workshop rooms, or exhibition stages.
- Session level: Individual nodes for each keynote, panel discussion, or training module.
Instead of manually setting up dozens of individual rooms, you can prepare your schedule in a spreadsheet and upload it via CSV import. The platform automatically creates all corresponding nodes in the organization tree. Every node receives an independent collector with its own web link and QR code, automatically attributing every submitted response to the correct session without manual sorting.
Place an Event Feedback Survey QR Code on Slides and Badges
Delivering the survey to attendees requires clear physical and digital touchpoints throughout the venue. Because each node in your organization tree generates a dedicated collector, you can download high-resolution QR codes and printable posters directly from the dashboard.
Organizers typically distribute an event feedback survey QR code across several key locations:
- Presentation slides: Add the session-specific QR code to the final summary slide so speakers can prompt the audience during the concluding Q&A.
- Room signage: Place printable posters at hall entrances and on session lecterns for quick access.
- Desk cards and badge inserts: Print general event codes on table tents in workshop rooms or on the back of attendee badge lanyards.
Respondents remain anonymous by default. OnlinePoll does not store raw IP addresses, using salted hashes solely for duplicate check controls and basic geographic reporting. Organizers can also configure custom privacy notices and consent checkboxes directly within the survey settings.
Run a Live Audience Poll Event with Instant Screen Updates
Interactive presentations keep attendees engaged. When speakers want to gauge audience sentiment, test knowledge, or decide discussion topics on the fly, running a live audience poll event provides instant visual feedback.
OnlinePoll calculates and displays poll results live as responses arrive. Presenters can choose between different survey and poll formats depending on their presentation goals:
| Poll Format | Key Features | Best Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| Single or Multiple Choice | Up to 20 options with live bar charts and vote totals | Quick icebreakers and topical consensus checks |
| Versus Comparison | Two options with custom colours, images, and descriptions | Debating two distinct technical approaches or ideas |
| Multi-Question Survey | 12 question types including ratings, NPS, and open text | Comprehensive end-of-session feedback |
Results can be projected onto the main stage screen or embedded into presentation tools using iframe embed links. Public polls display live vote distribution charts, and creators can turn off display ads with the Hide Ads setting. Organization survey pages and dashboards never show advertisements.
Compare Training Evaluation Survey Data Across Tracks
Evaluating multi-track conferences and multi-day workshops requires comparing session ratings across different speakers, dates, and topics. A standardized training evaluation survey ensures consistent measurement across every classroom or stage.
OnlinePoll analytics automatically aggregate data across your organization tree. You can inspect metrics at the individual session level or view rolled-up summaries at the hall or event level. Key analytical views include:
- Question breakdowns: Calculate average rating scores, Net Promoter Score distributions, and multiple choice percentages.
- Funnel and drop-off tracking: Identify if attendees abandoned multi-page surveys before completing all questions.
- Response timeline and device data: Review vote velocity over time, peak submission hours, and device types used by attendees.
- Single-response viewer: Inspect individual submissions with full answers while preserving attendee anonymity, or delete invalid entries if necessary.
For example, if three parallel technical workshops take place simultaneously, event managers can filter by hall node to see which session achieved the highest satisfaction ratings and which speaker received the most qualitative suggestions.
Export Clean Data and Share Reports Before People Leave
Event organizers often need to debrief stakeholders and speakers immediately after an event concludes. Rather than waiting days for manual data compilation, OnlinePoll provides instant export and reporting tools directly from the dashboard.
Teams can manage and share survey outputs using several built-in features:
- Spreadsheet exports: Download complete response datasets in CSV or XLSX format for customized offline analysis and archiving.
- Shareable read-only links: Generate secure result links with optional expiration dates to share live dashboard metrics with speakers, clients, or sponsors without granting account access.
- Automated AI report in Turkish: For Turkish-language organizations, generate a written executive summary computed on the platform's own server within the monthly token quota, ensuring attendee data is never transmitted to third-party AI services.
- Team role permissions: Invite co-organizers as owners, admins, editors, analysts, or viewers, secured with optional two-factor authentication.
Because all survey data is hosted on servers within the European Union and adheres to KVKK and GDPR compliance guidelines, conference teams maintain full data privacy while delivering clear, professional reports to their stakeholders.
Frequently asked questions
Do attendees need to install an app or register an account to scan the QR code?
No. Attendees do not need to download an application or register an account. They simply point their smartphone camera at the event feedback survey QR code, which opens the survey directly in their mobile browser. The interface works smoothly on modern mobile browsers across 21 supported languages, allowing respondents to submit answers anonymously in seconds.
Can I create unique QR codes for different conference sessions?
Yes. OnlinePoll allows you to build an organization tree with unlimited levels, such as conference, hall, and session. You can create these nodes manually or import them using a CSV file. Every session node receives its own dedicated web link and printable QR code poster, automatically attributing incoming responses to the specific speaker or topic.
Is there a limit on the number of attendees who can submit feedback?
No. OnlinePoll provides completely free survey and poll hosting without response caps, participant limits, or per-seat fees. Whether you are hosting an intimate training workshop of ten people or a multi-day conference with thousands of participants, all responses are collected and displayed in real-time analytics dashboards at no cost.
How does duplicate vote prevention work during live audience polling?
You can configure duplicate-vote checks per poll or survey using browser cookie checks, salted IP hash checks, or no checks. When duplicate prevention is active, voters using the same browser can update their existing vote if permitted, but their submissions will never be counted twice in the total results. Raw IP addresses are never stored.
Can I share live survey results with speakers without giving them full account access?
Yes. For organization surveys, you can generate read-only shareable result links with optional expiration dates. This allows you to give speakers or stakeholders direct access to live results and charts for their specific sessions without inviting them as team members or granting administrative permissions to your organization dashboard.
