Master Mind: The Future of Meetings & the Benefit of Experience MappingAugust 12, 2014 9:00 – 10:00 AMhashtag: #asae14 LJ6

How many of you have read something on your post show survey that if you had known, you could have fixed onsite?
#ASAE14
A Simple But Radical Concept • We will no longer wait to assess an
attendee’s event experience by surveying after the event, when the experience is over.
• Instead, we will assess attendee satisfaction throughout the event journey and make sure attendees are satisfied.
• We will use data to change the experience attendees have so they achieve their professional objectives.
#ASAE14
We Want to Shape the Future While We React to the Present
• Big data and cloud computing are the future – where data collection and interpretation are heading.
• Gathering data to make more strategic decisions enables us to affect the trajectory of a strategy/concept (proactive vs. reactive).
• Using attendee data to map the journey attendees have at events gives us the unique opportunity to actually shape the journey.
#ASAE14
How?• If an attendee is having a good experience, we
can use data to engage and make it a GREAT experience (fulfilling the brand promise).
• If someone is having a poor experience, we can interrupt the journey and repair and elevate it (recover and enhance the brand experience).
• In effect, we can change the outcome attendees have at events!
#ASAE14
Beta Testing- Great Ideas Results
• 70 Beta Testers- 14% of Conference Attendees• 28 questions• 43 text, 27 email• Saw a decrease in responses on the final day • 66% average response rate vs. 49% for post
show evaluations• First day- 85% response rate
#ASAE14
Post Show Evaluations vs. Experience Mapping
• Generally very similar results • 70% of the questions that matched, Experience
Mappers had slightly higher satisfied/happy responses
• For recommending the conference to others, Experience Mappers were more likely to recommend.
#ASAE14
Future Vision• Incorporation into the app• Questions prompted based on what
the attendee is doing at that time• Do we need post show evaluations?• A database where ASAE members
can compare their members experiences with other like associations
