Late, low-rate, and lost in the inbox.
Post-event surveys land in inboxes days after the show floor closes, when attendees have returned home, moved on to the next event, and lost the emotional context of their experience.

And the insights that could have saved a struggling session or flagged a catering failure arrive in a spreadsheet three weeks later.
