Event analytics and post-event reporting: proving the value of your conference
26 September 2026 · 7 min read
Sponsors, boards and partners all ask the same question after an event: was it worth it? Event analytics turns that question into numbers you can show, from registration conversion to session attendance and delegate feedback.
The event metrics that matter
- Registrations over time and by category.
- Approval rate and no-show rate (registered versus checked in).
- Session attendance by track and speaker.
- Meetings requested, accepted and held, for networking events.
- Delegate feedback and satisfaction scores.
- Revenue and coupon use, for paid events.
Real-time dashboards during the event
Live numbers help on the day: catering can adjust to actual arrivals and organisers can move a popular session to a larger room.
Building a post-event report
A strong report combines attendance, engagement and feedback with a short narrative of outcomes. Export the data, add photos and sponsor visibility, and share it within two weeks while the event is still fresh.
Reporting with Karibu by Cara
Karibu provides live analytics, delegate feedback collection, data exports and PDF reports from the same records used for registration and check-in, with approvals and a download record for sensitive data.
Frequently asked questions
- What is a good no-show rate?
- It varies by event type. Free events typically see more no-shows than paid or invitation-only events, which is why tracking registered versus checked-in matters.
- Can we collect delegate feedback?
- Yes. Karibu collects feedback per event and includes it in reporting.
- Who can download event data?
- Only authorised roles, and downloads can require approval. Every download is recorded.
