• Trend Analysis: Compare feedback across different events or sessions. For example, you may want to look at how satisfaction levels in speaker engagement changed between sessions or how the platform usability score fluctuated based on updates or new features.
• Correlation Analysis: In more advanced analysis, check if there are correlations between different feedback components. For example:
  • Does poor speaker engagement correlate with negative comments about session relevance?
  • Do attendees who report technical issues also give low ratings for overall event satisfaction?

Example:

• Speaker Engagement:
  • Average rating: 3.2/5
  • Breakdown: 30% rated 1–2 (dissatisfied), 50% rated 3 (neutral), 20% rated 4–5 (satisfied)
• Action: Low ratings in the “Speaker Engagement” category suggest a need for improving speaker training, interactivity, and audience involvement techniques.

4. Qualitative Data Review

Qualitative feedback (open-ended comments, suggestions, complaints) often provides deeper insight into the underlying reasons for satisfaction or dissatisfaction. This data is more subjective and requires manual or AI-assisted review.
