Topic IV Reporting Event

The meaning of reporting event

Event reporting involves producing a report after an event has concluded in order to assess
whether the objectives of the event were met. An event report should also identify areas for future
fine tuning and improvement. This is a key means by which organizations are able to make
assessments as to whether changes in their operational procedure are needed. Event reports are
sent to the sponsors of the event and should be tailored towards the needs and interests of the
sponsor.

An event report can have many forms, but the purpose is the same, to prove event success.
It can be a report, a presentation, or even an email. While format matters, the most important
aspect of event reporting is to provide stakeholders with data on how the event met (and
succeeded!) event goals. The event report can be thought of as the follow-up to an event proposal.
Where the proposal outlined event purpose, goals, and budget, the event reporting guide is the
follow-up. It is a document that reviews the success and impact of your meeting or event and
identifies growth highlights.

Create a Standard Event Reporting Guide

Not all events are the same. From small internal trainings to multi-day conferences, each event
seeks to accomplish a different goal. But, even with different event types, the process for
planning and reporting on events largely stays the same. Standardization can help align your
meeting and event programs to improve them as a whole. It can also provide a common
language to speak about event success that stakeholders will understand. Event reports should
cover the same points regardless of the event, with slight variations here and there.

Benefits of an Event Reporting Template

 Consistency across meeting and event planners

 Clear expectation of how to close out an event
 Standard language to explain success
 Cuts down on time spent creating a report from scratch after each event

Don’t get bogged down in the details - focus on growth highlights

It’s natural to want to include all event details about the event (classic everything but the kitchen
sink syndrome), but the purpose of an event report is to convey to stakeholders why the event
mattered, what the successes were, and what challenges to review for next time. It’s not about
the details, but about the big picture. That doesn’t mean that details don’t matter but take care
when editing what goes in the report. And, if you want the reporting guide to be a complete
account of the event, utilize an appendix. Keep the high-level information up front and send the
complete list of all sessions to the back.

What to Include in an Event Report

The hardest step is creating a template. We’ve broken down the basic sections that could be
included in an Event Report. Remember, data and analytics factor into every aspect of the
report. While we’ve outlined a way to organize your event thoughts, always include data when
possible.

Target Audience

Before writing your event report, it’s important to identify the target audience. Each stakeholder
will want to know something different about the event and will define event success. The target
audience won’t be included in the actual report but knowing from the start will help you
understand who should be in post-event meetings and receive the report. For instance, the CMO
might care about social media reach while a sales leader wants to know how many leads were
captured at the event. Your job is to make the event matter to each stakeholder. To do that, you
need to understand their motivation and the language they speak.

Who will read this report? Identify individuals from different departments.

 C-Suite
 Sales
 Marketing
 Event Team

Event Name

Include the event name, date, and location.

Team

Who planned the event and what were their roles? Showing who managed food and beverage or
who was in charge of scheduling staff allows stakeholders to direct questions to the correct
individual or give praise. The team worked hard, give them credit for the jobs they did.

Mission Statement or Event Objective

The event objective and primary goals should have been identified before the event in the early
planning stages. Pull them into the report early to refresh the team on the measures of event
success. They will guide the rest of the event report and show success or identify areas of
improvement.

Attendee Demographics

Show who attended the event. Was the audience you were targeting who attended the event?
Include the target demographic and personas, the various types of personas (sponsor, exhibitor,
attendee), and any other interesting data gathered during the event.

Event Agenda

Include a quick overview of the event agenda or consider including it in the appendix.

Budget

Everyone understands the language of dollars and cents. The event budget is not the primary
indication of event success, but it is important. Consider including an abbreviated budget that
highlights the basics. Did the event stick to the budget? Did what the event make money?
Include the full budget in the appendix. Your C-Suite will probably be most interested in the
budget.

Data and Analytics: Numbers to Include

Your event report can take any form. Whether you lead with big wins or an event summary is up
to you. There is no right or wrong way. Creating a concise guide that is easy to skim is the key.
We’ve identified some data points that can be included in your event report. These help to prove
success across many departments and functions.

Attendance

 Final attendance numbers broken down by demographic

 Final registration numbers

MQLs/Pipeline/Bookings

 Number of qualified leads

 Money in pipeline or bookings as a result of event

Practice the following dialogs with a partner. Change roles.

Dialog 1 Discussing Pricing

A : Sales have been off quite a bit this month. I think we need a big sale to get things
moving.
B : I’m not sure that’s the best idea. In my opinion, people will get used to the lower prices
and not want to buy when the sale is over. The promo went on for so long people started
thinking the lowered prices are the item’s actual prices.
A : Maybe we could offer a short-term rebate?
B : I might go along with that.

Dialog 2 Shoddy service…

A : What do you think we should do about our #1 salesperson jumping ship? She’s going to
work for our competitors.
B : I think we should offer her a big raise to stay. She’s worth it.
A : I’m afraid I disagree. If we make the offer, she will threaten to quit any time she wants
the money.
B : Yes, but she’ll be impossible to replace. The head office will be upset when sales go
down.
A : Hmmm, maybe you are right.
