It could be valuable to get the perspective of DrupalCamp attendees by sending out a post-conference survey. I'd recommend trying to get this done within a week for effective results.
Here are some possible questions, culled from my employer's last post-conference survey. In most cases there are both radio buttons from Excellent to Poor and a text box to leave a comment:
- How would you rate your overall DrupalCamp Twin Cities experience?
- How would you rate the Friday Opening Keynote Session on "Getting Involved in the Drupal Community" by Angie "Webchick" Byron? If you did not attend, please do not rate.
- How would you rate the Saturday Closing Keynote Session on "Taking Drupal Back!" by Jen Lampton? If you did not attend, please do not rate.
- How would you rate the Friday Night MPR Gala? If you did not attend, please do not rate.
- Did you view the conference schedule online?
- Did you use the online conference scheduling tool to create a personal schedule?
- Did you use the WiFi access?
- How would you rate the registration process?
- How far did you travel to attend DrupalCamp Twin Cities?
- How did you find out about DrupalCamp Twin Cities?
- Rate the items that helped you decide to attend DrupalCamp Twin Cities.
- How would you rate the meeting rooms at the conference site?
- Do you plan to attend DrupalCamp Twin Cities 2012?
- Any comments or suggestions to improve DrupalCamp Twin Cities would be greatly appreciated. (catch-all comment field at the end)
The full survey is attached so you can see what else is in there.
Rating individual sessions is also a worthwhile endeavor, but can be tricky to structure because there are a lot of them. I like the way Minnesota Council on Nonprofits has handled this for their Tech and Communications Conference - for each time slot they ask one question about which session you attended, and then a question about how would you rate that session. As a past presenter there I've found the feedback valuable.
Also, my employer has a SurveyMonkey Gold subscription. One feature I really like is the ability to open up the collector and provide a URL to view the aggregate results (either open to the public, or password protected). If there's interest in using that for a survey, I would be willing to inquire.
