Hi All, Firstly, I want to say a massive thank you to those of you who completed the feedback survey. Although the feedback for individual events is always extremely positive, it was limiting in terms of highlighting issues & improvements. We had 51 responses in the end and although most were pre-covid, It's a massive help in gauging how people are feeling and identifying what we can do to improve the experience of the meetup's for all. As promised we wanted to share a selection of the key findings we felt would be of most interest to you all. The Appeal of Meetup: Unsurprisingly, most of us just want to make friends! That's what we are here for! The coffee events and nights out are by far the most appealing events & will definitely continue going forward! (Pandemic Permitting) The clear attraction of the meetup group is the demographic. We will be doing more work to ensure attendees of events fit the criteria of the group. For those who have not yet been to an event: Interestingly, half of those who completed the survey had yet to actually attend an event. Only 32% of all group members have attended an event ever so there are 100's of Young Pros out there we have yet to meet. In other words, if you are a newbie, you are not alone! The main reason seems to be time commitments which unfortunately isn't something we can do anything about. However, we will be focusing more on reaching out to those who have yet to attend due to shyness/anxiety to try and help them feel more comfortable in attending by offering to meet them earl y or pairing them up with another newbie & listening to your suggestions. Is there anything we can do to support you in attending? “Not sure if you already do this but “Group chats before the event to “One thing I'm worried about is having the name of someone to introduce/get to know each not being able to find the meet would be useful.” other before hand” group, e.g in a busy bar, café” For those who have been to an event: How satisfied have you been with the following: Overall Event 4 The Venue 3.9 The Communication 3.7 The People 3.4 The Leadership 3.3 0.0 0.5 1.0 1.5 2.0 2.5 3.0 3.5 4.0 4.5 5.0 Our focus here is going to be on making the leadership team more visible & longer term and more communications that support the building of a community and keep you engaged with the group. It's extremely positive news that very few people cite bad experiences as a reason for not coming back. We will continue to do our best to address any issues and ban people from the group who do not follow group etiquette as soon as they are flagged to us. Although we can't do anything to free you from other commitments, We would like to see an increase of "Started seeing meetup people outside of meetup events" as that ultimately the purpose of the group and will be thinking about how we can help support this. Suggested improvements: We had some great ideas for improvements/events that we really want to implement over time. If you have any other ideas, please reach out to an organiser. We'd love to hear from you! See you soon! Regards
