Why use EVS in webinars?

Attendees invest time by attending your event - and time is their most precious resource.

In other words, EVS will help you stop guessing and find out what the impact of your event really was.

How to measure EVS for your events?

You can measure EVS in a few ways, but it requires a tool like Lyyti x Univid that supports either an option to 1. ask it at the end of the event as a poll, or 2. after the event is done as follow-up survey (typically per email).

In Lyyti x Univid the EVS is enabled by default for all your events. So you can simply create your event and start to collect the feedback once the event is done. Also, you can analyze it nicely in the Lyyti dashboard as responses start to come in. And benchmark against your other events and industry standards.
