The Importance of Post Evaluation by Mariel Carpio

Throughout the years the organizing team of Ideas That Matter had always been aware that every event is special and that every event should always be bigger and better. To quote our Advertising Practice 5 professor Sir Velez “You are only good as your last event”, therefore each event should go the extra mile. To do that, you should have a set of steps that can reach the goal of making “the event” an event of a lifetime. With that in mind, the organizing team decided that evaluating the event should be crucial, and that each attendee should have their evaluation about each event they attended.

Being assigned with the task of evaluation, I decided to make the evaluation sheet more detailed and more thorough than past evaluation sheets. I wanted to make the evaluation sheet as what our head professor wanted. There are a lot of reasons why having the right questionnaire is critical in evaluating, but of course the biggest and most important reason is to ensure satisfaction in our guests in events that follow.

We gave out roughly 150 sheets to students who entered the venue, from there we tabulated 150 evaluation sheets that gave us the overall satisfactory level of the students and guests who attended. Overall the event was a 5/5 to around 80% of the attendees, most the of complaints were crowd control and how tiny the venue was. Unfortunately solutions for the venue is something we couldn’t fix on the succeeding event the next day. Most venues that were appropriate for the amount of students that were expected were already vacant and reserved prior to our reservations. But regardless of the event having a smaller venue than most people expected, it was still a success making another mark on Ideas That Matter’s history.
