This printable session feedback form gives conference organizers a fast, reliable way to evaluate every talk on the programme, with 17 questions over two pages. Attendees can complete it in about five minutes before they leave the room.

What this survey measures

The form starts with the session title, speaker, date and format, and asks how much each attendee already knew about the topic. A content grid rates how well the session matched its description, relevance, depth, structure, practical examples, slides and use of time, followed by quick checks on how new the material was and whether the pace and length felt right. A speaker grid covers knowledge, clarity, engagement, answers to questions and timekeeping. The overall section gives you a single rating, a recommend score, the likelihood that people will use what they learned, and the follow-up material they want. Two comment boxes collect key takeaways and suggestions the grids cannot capture. Because attendees name the session and speaker at the top, you can compare talks across an entire track or day.

How to use it on paper

Place a copy on every seat before the session begins, or hand them out as attendees enter the room. Ask everyone to fill the checkboxes with a blue or black pen and leave the form on their seat or with a room monitor on the way out. Collect the completed forms and scan them in batches: PaperSurvey reads the rating grids with optical mark recognition and converts the handwritten comments to text automatically, so results appear in your dashboard without any manual data entry.

Customize this template

Add your conference logo, rename the rating rows to match your programme's criteria, or add questions about the room and timing. Remove the session and speaker lines if you print a separate form per talk. The paper layout reflows automatically as you edit, and every copy you print stays scannable.
