Everything about this is delightful.  Just as a note, we have an exit
survey template we encourage you to customize and use:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/10MzPOj5jVTbXPc-7zm_XB27aDXXG8MOZEbrdGHG-IJI/edit

It can sometimes be difficult to get a significant percentage of attendees
to fill it out.  At the most recent event, I had a lot of success by
talking about the value of feedback throughout the day and mentioning the
exit survey as an example of feedback/contributions.  There's a slide on
standard_slides.odp<https://github.com/openhatch/open-source-comes-to-campus/blob/master/curriculum/presentations/standard_slides.odp>(#5)
that I used, no idea if the slide itself had any causal role.

I strongly recommend nametags for everyone.  That makes it easier to take
notes on attendees to follow up with.
