Why understanding attendee topics of interest truly matters

Getting real, actionable feedback from attendees can make or break the success of your next Ask Me Anything session. If you skip gathering those key insights, you miss out on understanding what your audience genuinely wants—leading to lower engagement, irrelevant discussions, and wasted preparation time. We see it all the time: events run blind, hoping to spark meaningful conversations but instead just guessing what people care about.

There’s serious upside in running an effective topics of interest survey:

• Sharper focus: You know exactly what to cover so attendees feel heard instead of ignored.

• Higher engagement: Tailoring topics based on participant input can boost event satisfaction and turnout.

• Continuous improvement: You get a reusable feedback loop that guides future events.

Here’s a stat that should make you pause: AI-powered surveys can achieve completion rates of 70-80%, compared to only 45-50% for traditional surveys [1]. If you’re not running these surveys, you’re definitely missing out on clearer feedback and better event results.

Designing questions that actually give you useful insights

We all know the pain of getting vague or irrelevant answers, usually because the survey questions missed the mark. Specific’s AI is trained to help you act like an expert—meaning it avoids classic traps like leading language, confusion, or bias.

For example, consider:

• Bad question: “Did you like the topics?” (way too broad, unhelpful)

• Good question: “Which topics would you most like discussed in the next session, and why?” (specific, actionable, and encourages detail)

Our survey generator uses natural language understanding to eliminate vague phrasing and automatically rewords or suggests questions that will get you the details you actually need. In fact, AI minimizes question bias, enhancing data accuracy by 30% and producing higher-quality insights [3]. Here’s a quick tip—always ask for context: Instead of single-word answers, get people to expand. Specific builds this follow-up logic right into the survey.

Automatic follow-up questions based on previous reply

One of the secret weapons in Specific surveys is our AI-driven, real-time follow-up questions. These aren’t cookie-cutter prompts—the AI listens to each answer, then immediately digs for clarity or asks for details, all in a way that feels natural and conversational. You’re not stuck sifting through vague responses or chasing down attendees by email to fill in missing info. These smart follow-ups dig deep from the start.

Why does this matter? Automated follow-ups can save hours you’d otherwise spend on post-survey emails and endless clarifications, while making the feedback rich and actionable. Here’s how it plays out if you miss the mark:

• Attendee: “I’d like topics on leadership.” (but, what specifically?)

• AI follow-up: “Great—what aspects of leadership are you interested in? For example, team management, communication, or developing leadership skills?”

This approach dramatically decreases survey abandonment—abandonment rates drop to 15-25% with AI-driven follow-up, whereas traditional forms see 40-55% [4]. You end up with answers you can actually use, not just half-finished ideas. Want to see this in action? Go ahead and generate a survey—these follow-ups are built in. More detail on how AI handles these is on our automatic AI follow-up questions info page.

Follow-up questions make the survey a conversation—not just a questionnaire—which is the heart of a conversational survey.

How to deliver your Ask Me Anything survey to attendees

Reaching your audience where they are is half the battle, and Specific makes delivery simple. Here are your main options:

• Sharable landing page surveys: Perfect for inviting attendees before or after an event—drop the link in an email, share on Slack, or embed in your calendar event.

• In-product surveys: Great if your Ask Me Anything attendee group lives in a software platform or community hub—trigger the survey as a chat widget right inside the app for contextual, in-the-moment feedback.

For most attendee-based “topics of interest” feedback, a sharable landing page survey is a top choice: it’s frictionless, fast to distribute, and anyone can access it with one link. If you’re running recurring sessions in an app or platform, an in-product survey widget can keep the engagement ongoing without disrupting your users’ flow.

No more copying responses into spreadsheets or pouring over messy data. AI-powered survey analysis in Specific instantly summarizes responses, spots recurring themes, and gives you actionable insights—without the manual grind.
