With everyone now carrying a smartphone, speakers can engage the audience via mobile survey. Zwoor Survey allows real time displays of the results. You can even set the refresh rate for the results – every 10 seconds, every 30 seconds, and see real time how your results change as your participants vote.

That includes Online and Offline surveys. Also, how to analyze the data real time with our interactive charts.

Interested to see how a mobile survey looks like?

You can test drive the Speaker Survey right now, in a few ways:
1. By opening on your iPhone or other fine mobile device the URL  https://clients.zwoor.com/online/index/code/FEEDBACK
2. By reading with your favourite QR code the code here

3. By entering the code FEEDBACK on the Zwoor Event Mobile App.

Please let us know how to improve the Speaker Feedback Survey experience.

There are several ways to access a survey, once created.

For example, I’ve created a survey with the code HAMILTON. It took me just a minute to do that…I’ve used a template from the website.
So, four ways to access this survey:

1. To run a survey on a web browser, enter the survey code at this link https://clients.zwoor.com/online
2. To access a survey directly, you can access it at https://clients.zwoor.com/online/index/code/Hamilton
3. You can download the app from iTunes or Android market, and then enter the code HAMILTON on the app. Once dowloaded, you can run the survey w/out a connection, in an offline mode.
4. You can use the QR code from the mobile device to start the survey – the QR code is generated when you create the survey. 

Simply print the QR code and add to your Conference or Event materials. Or display the QR code on the event screen, and the participants will scan it, and start the survey on their mobile devices.

Be that an iPhone, Ipad, Android, tablet, Blackberry or other fine mobile device, the survey will load once the QR code is scanned. From there, the user will simply complete the survey.

While we still believe that the survey mobile app Zwoor Survey provides the best user experience, you can also offer now this choice to your users.

How to generate the QR Code?

Simply press “Generate QR code” while you create the survey. A QR code will be created. You can then download it, or display it on the screen.

How will the user see the survey?

The user can either user a QR reader to launch the survey in their mobile, or download the Zwoor Survey app and enter the survey code. Note that the code is clearly displayed on the QR code as well.

To prove it, here is a short intro to zwoor.com, in a friendly format. The topics are:

A potential client of ours, Rick Altman, sent us a list of features that he would like to have implemented. Our development team liked that…A LOT, so we decided to ask our users in a more formal way to tell us “What feature should we implement next?”.

If you’d like to add to the list, or vote on the list of features to be implemented, please let us know via the following links – you can vote up or down the existing features, add your comments, or create a new feature all together.

Thanks in advance for your feedback, and ideas on the next feature. 

However, Twitter is a potentially uncontrolled channel, and can backfire if the spammers take hold of it. Google for a well known case with a corporate event in Cinci, where the twitter wall had to be “taken down” because of the spammers.

Managed well, a great tool. Unmanaged – a potential PR disaster for your event.

Here are our Top Five Twitter tools for your Conference, Tradeshow or Corporate Event:

1. Muuter – Temporarily mute people you follow if they suddenly get verbose for some reason

2. SocialOomph – This is a great platform to manage multiple Twitter accounts and schedule tweets in advance. We really like the ability to vet your friends and followers here.

3. Sendible – Engage with your audience across multiple social media channels at any time. Market your business from one place, using email, sms and social media messaging.

4. Tweepi – Maybe the fastest tool that I have seen for managing your followers, or creating a strong followers list. Integration with Klout, reports on active followers- overall, highly recommended for those that are building their Twitter presence.

5. Hootsuite – one of the best and most complete platforms for Twitter management that I have used. If a power users, this is the tool for you.

Let us know if other tools you use – and enhance our list of  Top Twitter tools for Event Planners.  http://list.ly/list/1CA-toptwitter-tools-for-event-planners

1. Visitors to the site.

2. A good ranking on Google, so more potential attendees find you on the Google search.  And visit your website.

3. A good “Share” button, so your visitors can share in Facebook, LinkedIn, twitter or other social media.

So, how do you get these. Visitors – you use e-mail lists, send the link via Twitter, put it on your Facebook page. Also, add to LinkedIn events, Yahoo Events, and so on. Some organic traffic will come from it. You can also use Google AdWords – this option can turn very expensive very quickly… some keywords run $10 or more, especially if your event is in the Finance, Medical or Technology field.

# 3 is absolutely critical for a good ranking on Google, so a solid set of tools will allow your followers to rank you very quickly, if you use the technology smartly.

Here are the tools that we recommend to Event Planners. If you have others you are using, please add your comments and let our readers know.

So, how hard is to a socilal media sharing tool to your event? Not hard at all…a copy and paste, typically.

Here is one example of a button created via http://twitterbuttons.com/ , the first tool we are going to recommend for event planners that want to make it easy for visitors to share the Conference, Tradeshow or Corporate event news:   
By TwitterButtons.com

It took just two steps, and about 60 seconds to get this button in the blog post – simply go to their website, enter the event TwitterID, and select from the several designs they have on the website.

The other four tools we like:

1. ShareThis - http://sharethis.com - adds the key social media links with one piece of code
2. Add this http://www.addthis.com/ - one of the most used social buttons on the net (14 million users)
3. Socially.at http://socially.at/ - the new kid on the block for social media sharing buttons
4. About.me  https://about.me/ - an easy way to create a page for your event

We get quite frequently the question – how to best display the data from the Speaker rating sessions? There are a lot of sessions, lots of survey submissions, and typically we measure against ten criteria each session.  You can easily end up with thousands of data points.

For example, the ten dimensions we typically measure the sessions are below (you can easily create your own survey by using the Conference survey template from our library…in under a minute you will have your own Conference ready survey…)

1. Presenter knowledgeable of subject matter
2. Presenter teaching style was effective
3. Presenter adhered to subject matter
4. Presenter was organized
5. Visual aids were useful
6. Written materials useful for my work
7. Written materials useful for my work
8. Subject matter is of value to me
9. Repeat topic in the future?
10. Repeat speaker in the future?
