Quick feedback

Add a QR code to the final slide of your presentation, at the entrance to the room, or in the networking area. After scanning the code, participants will see a simple survey where they can rate the speaker, the topic, and the organization, and add comments. This allows you to collect valuable data immediately after the presentation, when opinions are fresh and honest.
