• Calendar Prompt: There's a prompt to 'Add the attached event to your calendar if you haven't already!' to avoid missing out, ensuring the event is top-of-mind and reducing the likelihood of double-booking.

After the event

2 hours later: participant feedback

Feedback email sent after the event serves three purposes:

• Acknowledgment and Thanks: It thanks participants for attending, making them feel valued and appreciated for their time and engagement.
• Feedback Collection: The email prompts participants to share insights or stories from the event and to rate the value of the conversation. This feedback is crucial for measuring the event's impact and for continual improvement.
• Follow-Up Engagement: Encouraging feedback keeps the conversation going even after the event has ended and helps build a relationship between the host and the attendees.

• Enhanced Feedback Rates: Sending a feedback reminder to participants increases the likelihood of collecting valuable insights, as it provides a second opportunity for those who may have missed the first feedback prompt.
