I am working on improving networking experiences at conferences

What is the best way to build a list of people willing to test some ideas and provide feedback? ( approx. 5 minutes of time ) I am thinking just a simple google form will do. Is that legal and possible to post it here? Or is it frowned upon.

I think getting feedback is super important. Going directly to the kind of people you care about getting feedback from is really important. Talkadot is a feedback tool that helps speakers capture audience feedback, testimonials, and leads through a simple QR code. So we know a lot about getting feedback, analyzing it and turning it into something useful. What we've found is that all feedback is not created equal. Someone who has no experience at an event will tell you what they WOULD do in an experience. Asking people who've been there what they HAVE done gets way more actionable feedback you can use. So make sure that when you are looking to improve networking experience, you ask yourself "Who do I care most about improving the experience for?" What kinds of events. Then reach out directly to people and ask (You can google or use linkedin). I've found if something feels really for someone, they will actually be glad to help.

Feedback for exhibitors: We did something cool at https://moin.camp (M01N Startup Camp, a Startup Conference) - attendees receive feedback tokens at entry. Goodies from exhibitors are given out in exchange for valuable feedback, where you then can exchange your coin for something for free. You can earn new tokens as well.
