After the guests have gone home and the vendors have been paid, work often continues for planners gathering feedback on the logistics and programming of their events or meetings. Here are some software programs that survey attendees and compile responses.

For Lora Di Padova-Tannehill, director of scientific meetings for the American Society of Neuroradiology in Chicago, feedback is vital. An accrediting organization that determines future funding closely monitors the five executive-committee meetings and the 2,000-person convention she plans annually. “The evaluations of our programming need to validate that our education is providing improved quality of care to patients,” she says. Tannehill uses Web-based Survey Monkey to poll attendees on event logistics like housing, registration, food service, and venue selection. “The site is easy to develop and maintain responses and statistics for future use,” she says. “I like the features and versatility. I see it being used a lot more in the industry.” The site allows users to create surveys for free, with limits on the number of questions and responses allotted. A paid subscription with more options costs $19.95 per month. MORE >>

Wicker Park's New Taco Bar and Rock Cantina
Angels & Mariachis

Open since late April, Angels & Mariachis is a taco bar and rock cantina from Eat Well Drink Better Inc. (the same company behind River North's English and Wrigleyville's The Central). Spread out over two floors in a Wicker Park space that formerly housed a bakery and deli, the restaurant evokes small-town Mexico and provides laid-back private dining space—and margarita pitchers—for groups. Available for full buyouts, the entire space can seat 200 guests.

In front of the restaurant, a sidewalk patio provides seating for 35. The front room, which seats about 50, opens out onto Division Street with garage-door windows and features a long bar topped with traditional Mexican tiles. Along the walls, festive red lights illuminate decorative objects (ranging from wooden angels to candles and bull's heads) that the Angels & Mariachis owners pulled from Mexican markets and street fairs. In the back room on the lower level, a tile-topped taco bar seats roughly 20; additional counter seating along the wall expands the room's capacity to 30. MORE >>
