Field guide

What an exhibitor survey should include.

Connect the booth experience with expected value. Keep only fields that support an event decision.

Exhibitor profile

Attach context to every response.

Capture enough context to compare similar exhibitors. Prefill known registration details.

  • Company and optional respondent role.
  • Booth number, hall or zone, and booth size.
  • Package, sponsorship level, and first-time or returning status.

Setup & logistics

Find friction before doors opened.

Rate the exhibitor manual, freight, access, contractor coordination, and move-out separately.

  • Clarity and timing of pre-event communication.
  • Move-in, freight, storage, and badge pickup.
  • Move-out process and any unresolved operations issue.

Booth services

Review the working environment.

Score booth services and use conditional follow-ups to capture where and when problems occurred.

  • Power, Wi-Fi, lighting, cleaning, and security.
  • Booth position, signage, aisles, and nearby features.
  • Organizer and venue response when help was requested.

Audience & leads

Measure the right kind of traffic.

Capture traffic, conversations, scans, qualified leads, meetings, and audience fit separately.

  • Traffic volume by day or show period.
  • Total leads and qualified leads as distinct counts.
  • Decision-maker access, audience relevance, and meeting quality.

Value & ROI

Ask for evidence exhibitors can provide.

Collect current sales, optional cost and pipeline ranges, perceived value, and timing for a later check.

  • Orders, sales, demonstrations, or opportunities created.
  • Optional total cost and expected value ranges.
  • Value for price and timing for a later ROI follow-up.

Renewal & priorities

Turn feedback into next-event choices.

Close with return intent, one priority, and the right type of follow-up contact.

  • Likelihood to return and the main reason for that score.
  • One improvement that would increase event value.
  • Interest in rebooking, sponsorship, or operations follow-up.

FAQ

Exhibitor survey questions

Practical answers for organizers measuring booth experience, exhibitor value, and rebooking intent.

What is an exhibitor survey?

It is a post-event questionnaire for organizations that operated a booth, sponsored an event, or sold at an exhibition. It connects setup and support feedback with traffic, lead quality, value, and return intent.

What questions should an exhibitor survey include?

Include exhibitor and booth context, pre-event communication, move-in and move-out, venue services, booth position, attendee traffic, lead quality, organizer support, perceived value, return intent, and one improvement priority. Add package-specific questions only when they apply.

How should I ask exhibitors about ROI?

Avoid forcing a precise ROI figure immediately after the show. Ask for known counts such as leads or orders, optional ranges for participation cost and expected value, perceived value for price, and when results can reasonably be assessed. Offer a later follow-up for longer sales cycles.

When should I send a trade-show exhibitor survey?

Send the operational survey soon after move-out while setup and venue details are fresh. Keep it concise and state how long it should take. If business outcomes need time, ask permission for a second, shorter check-in at a point that fits the exhibitors' sales cycle.

Can the survey show different questions for sponsors and standard exhibitors?

Yes. Ask for package or sponsor level early, then use conditional logic to show relevant benefit-delivery, speaking, branding, hospitality, or lead questions. Standard exhibitors can skip those sections, producing a shorter and more relevant experience.

How can I compare exhibitor feedback across events?

Keep a stable core for value, operations, support, traffic, lead quality, and return intent. Use consistent scales and booth attributes, then compare similar exhibitor segments in a sheet.

Is the exhibitor survey generator free?

Yes. Makeform offers unlimited free forms and responses, so you can generate, edit, publish, and reuse your exhibitor survey without a response cap. The paid tier removes the Makeform badge.

How do I improve the exhibitor survey response rate?

Prefill details you already know, send one clear mobile-friendly link, keep the core survey focused, and explain what decisions the feedback will inform. Route renewal interest and unresolved service issues to the right owner, then avoid asking exhibitors for the same information again.
