Why run a Fireside Chat Attendee Topics of Interest survey?

Fireside chats thrive on active participation, but discovering what topics genuinely matter to your attendees isn’t simple. If you’re not collecting this feedback, you’re leaving valuable opportunities for engagement and improvement on the table.

Attendee recognition surveys ensure you’re not just guessing. They let you:

• Create experiences tailored to what the audience wants

• Spot trends or emerging interests before others do

• Surface hidden issues or unmet needs

• Make each fireside chat more engaging, actionable, and relevant

Here’s a kicker: AI-powered surveys achieve completion rates of 70-80%, compared to just 45-50% for traditional surveys [2]. That’s a lot more actionable feedback and fewer blank surveys sitting in your inbox.

Without these surveys, you miss out on audience-driven programming, data-backed decisions, and a chance to continuously improve your event experience. The difference between guessing and knowing? An effective Topics of Interest survey done right—and Specific’s tools make it effortless.

How to design great questions and avoid common survey pitfalls

We see it all the time: a survey with vague, overly broad, or leading questions that generate more confusion than insight. Specific helps you avoid these traps with expertly crafted, research-backed question templates and AI-powered improvements.

Here’s a classic example:

• Bad question: “Did you like the chat?” (Too general—what part?)

• Good question: “Which topics discussed at the chat interested you most, and why?” (Invites depth, context, and actionable feedback.)

When you use Specific’s AI survey editor, the generator automatically:

• Eliminates leading or biased questions

• Targets phrasing to the context of your event or audience

• Suggests probing follow-ups that bring out richer insights

Actionable tip: Focus each question on one objective. For example, instead of “What did you think of the fireside chat and the topics?” ask two separate questions—one on the format, one on the topic.

Automatic follow-up questions based on previous reply

One of the signature features baked into Specific surveys is smart, AI-driven follow-ups. As someone answers, the AI listens and, in real time, asks for clarification or detail—just like an expert interviewer. This gets you the context and depth you’d otherwise miss, and does what manual surveys simply can’t.

Consider what typically happens without automatic follow-ups:

• Fireside Chat Attendee: “The topics were fine.”

• AI follow-up: “Could you share which topic resonated with you most, or was there something you wished we’d covered?”

If you stop at the first answer, you’re left guessing. With automated probing (available now—see the experience for yourself), you turn vague feedback into concrete, actionable insight. No manual back-and-forth required, no chasing attendees for clarification.

Automatic follow-ups like this are a completely new level of conversational survey—and they save hours you’d otherwise spend doing manual outreach. Want to know how it works under the hood? Check out the details on our automatic AI follow-up questions feature.

All these followups transform a cold survey into a genuine conversation—making your survey a fully conversational experience.
