Hi Carisa,
I love the idea of pre-event polls! What method would you recommend for getting those polls out to attendees? Do you schedule a pre-event session and link the poll to the session, or is there a way to link a poll to a pre-event email so that attendees can answer the poll directly in the email, or be directed to a poll via a link in an email?
Thanks!

How often you poll your audience at a show, or even before and after the event, really depends on your audience and what the event's all about.
Generally speaking, a poll for each session is a solid move. It gives your audience a chance to get involved, which usually makes them feel more invested. But, you can always play around with this a bit - if your crowd is more tech-savvy, (or opinionated) they might appreciate a few extra polls. It also depends on how you structure your content, maybe you are aiming for more collaborative sessions with the audience.
If you are firing off a handful of polls per session make sure you are giving them something in return for answering them. React to the results, use the polls to dictate the topics being discussed live. That's also how you will get people to adopt and participate in the polls too!
Now, about this idea of polling before and after the event. Honestly, it's brilliant. If you are doing a sort of "know before you go" kick-off, or on-demand session it this would be a great time to incorporate some polls. This can give you valuable insights about your attendees before they arrive, what they are excited about, what they want to see, and so on. You can use this info to fine-tune your event or even craft some personalized experiences for your attendees.
In the end, it's all about understanding your crowd and your event. Tailor your polling strategy to those factors, and you're on the right track.

How often should we poll our attendees during the show (and potentially pre and post)?
