Why running a fireside chat attendee agenda preferences survey matters

If you’re not regularly asking your fireside chat attendees for their agenda preferences, you’re missing out on major value—both for experience design and event outcomes. Surveys are still the most direct way to learn what people want, but not just any survey: you need one that’s both engaging and insightful.

• Attendee-driven agendas = better engagement. Research shows that events designed with attendee input achieve noticeably higher satisfaction levels—up to 30% higher according to recent industry trends.[1]

• Fewer guessing games, fewer missed opportunities. Skipping feedback means relying on assumptions. If you don’t run these surveys, you risk developing topics that fall flat or wasting time on logistics attendees don’t care about.

• Quantify demand, discover surprises. A solid, well-designed survey lets you measure which themes and speakers are truly most wanted, while also surfacing unexpected topics you hadn’t considered.

The bottom line: the importance of fireside chat attendee recognition and feedback is hard to overstate—especially when you use Specific as your survey engine. Check out our guide to best questions for a fireside chat agenda preferences survey for inspiration.

Why use an AI survey generator for fireside chat attendee feedback?

Traditional survey builders can be slow, repetitive, and often result in clunky forms filled with vague questions. Not only do these take longer to set up, but they can also drain respondent energy, leading to lower completion rates and less useful data.

Here’s what makes using an AI survey generator—like the one built into Specific—a game changer:

Why use AI for fireside chat attendee surveys?

Designing questions that drive real insight

We all know the frustration of reading survey answers and thinking, "What does this even mean?" That often comes from weak survey questions. Luckily, Specific’s AI survey generator acts as an expert advisor, helping you avoid common traps like vague, leading, or irrelevant questions.

Here’s the difference:

• Bad question: “Did you like the event agenda?” (Vague—what exactly should they comment on?)

• Good question: “Which agenda topics would you be most interested in for our next fireside chat? Please share why they matter to you.” (Clear, open-ended, actionable)

Specific uses AI to avoid question bloat and generic prompts, surfacing tailored, purposeful survey flows that get real answers. AI-powered survey tools can actually reduce survey bias by up to 90%, leading to more accurate insights overall.[3]

Quick tip: Always focus on clarity and purpose. For every question you add, ask yourself, “What will I actually do with this answer?” (And remember, if you need inspiration, our AI survey editor at Specific is built to help you improve or edit your survey instantly—just say what you want to change.)

Automatic follow-up questions based on previous reply

The real magic behind a conversational survey is how it adapts to each attendee’s answer in real time. With Specific, our AI listens to every response and—like a skilled human interviewer—asks clarifying or digging questions on the spot. This gives you richer insights and avoids those ambiguous responses that can torpedo your analysis.

Here’s what happens if you skip follow-ups:

• Fireside chat attendee: “I wish there were more sessions about trends.”

• No follow-up: (You get a vague insight—what kind of trends? In which industries?)

• AI follow-up (Specific): “Thanks! Can you share which specific trends or industries you’d most like covered in future sessions?”

Thanks to automated, context-driven follow-ups, feedback feels like a real conversation—not a cold form. And you don’t need to chase attendees via email for clarification. AI-powered tools like Specific can create dynamic surveys that adapt based on previous responses, making feedback richer and more personal.[7] If you want to see this kind of conversational survey experience for yourself, try generating a fireside chat attendee agenda preferences survey here.

Automatic follow-ups make the survey feel like a real dialogue—a true conversational survey experience.

How to deliver your attendee agenda preferences survey

How and where you deploy your survey can make all the difference in response rates and quality. For fireside chat agenda preferences, flexibility matters. Specific supports both sharable landing page surveys and in-product conversational surveys:

• Sharable landing page surveys: Perfect for inviting fireside chat attendees via email, event invitations, or social posts. Quickly distribute a link before your event and watch the insights roll in. Great for pre-event planning and collecting feedback from a broad, varied audience.

• In-product surveys: If your fireside chat is part of an app or an attendee portal, drop the conversational survey directly into the interface for real-time agenda feedback. This method is ideal for gathering input from highly engaged participants, at the precise moment they’re interacting with your event’s digital platform.

You can choose one or both—simply pick the approach that matches where and how your fireside chat attendees access your event agenda and communications.

We know that raw survey data is only useful if you can quickly make sense of it. Specific’s AI survey analysis tools instantly summarize feedback, spot common topics, and uncover trends—without any manual data wrangling.
