AI will create a survey with expert knowledge in seconds, including smart follow-up questions so you gather deeper, actionable insights automatically. But if you want to maximize results (or are just curious), it helps to know what makes an effective survey for event attendees around venue suitability—so let’s dig in.

Why venue suitability surveys matter for event attendees

Surveys about venue suitability aren’t just helpful—they’re essential. If you’re not running these, you’re missing out on countless opportunities to improve the attendee experience and the event itself. Here’s why feedback matters:

  • Events rise or fall on experience, and 65% of attendees rate the physical comfort of venues as a key factor in their overall experience [1].

  • Details like Wi-Fi, accessibility, and navigation aren’t just nice-to-haves: 82% of attendees say quick Wi-Fi access improves their event experience [1].

  • Gathering honest input–not just “Was it good?” but real, actionable info—lets you spot pain points before they become deal-breakers.

There’s real business impact, too: 53% of event organizers measure customer experience through post-event surveys [1]. If you don’t ask, you’ll never know what your audience loved… or what was quietly frustrating them.

  • Missed opportunities: No attendee input = wasted chances to optimize signage, comfort, or flow.

  • Over time, this adds up. Fail to collect regular, targeted feedback and you’ll see declining satisfaction and weaker recommendations.

What makes a great venue suitability survey?

Creating a high-quality Event Attendee survey for venue suitability means more than throwing together a few questions. You’re aiming for:

  • Clear, unbiased questions—no room for misunderstanding or leading language.

  • Conversational tone—helps respondents feel comfortable, leading to honest and insightful replies.

  • Logical flow—easy to follow, even on mobile.

  • Personalization and context (for example, referencing the specific event or venue attributes).

The simplest way to measure if your survey is good? You want lots of responses (quantity) and detailed, useful feedback (quality). Striking this balance is the secret.

Bad practices

Good practices

Confusing or double-barreled questions

One idea per question, written simply

Boring/formal language

Natural, relatable tone (“How did the Wi-Fi work for you?”)

Only closed questions (or no follow-up)

Mix of open and closed, with conversational follow-ups

Best question types for event attendee survey about venue suitability

Choosing the right mix of question types is where the magic happens. Here’s what to consider:

Open-ended questions are the best for uncovering context and stories—useful when you want attendees to elaborate. Two example questions:

  • What did you find most comfortable or most inconvenient about the venue?

  • If you could change one thing about the venue, what would it be and why?

Open-ended lets respondents tell you exactly what mattered to them. Use these when you want genuine, detailed insight.

Single-select multiple-choice questions make life easy for respondents and for you when tallying results—stick to these when you need quick comparisons or to measure satisfaction. For instance:

How would you rate the venue’s accessibility for all guests?

  • Excellent

  • Good

  • Average

  • Poor

NPS (Net Promoter Score) question helps you benchmark and compare across venues or events. Use this when you want a single, easily trackable metric. If you want to generate a NPS survey for event attendees about venue suitability in one click, try this NPS survey generator.

On a scale from 0 to 10, how likely are you to recommend this venue to fellow event attendees?

Followup questions to uncover “the why”: These are your best bet when you want depth. If someone picks “Average” for comfort, a follow-up like “What could make it better next time?” gets the real story out. For example:

  • What made you give that rating?

  • Can you share a bit more about your experience?

What is a conversational survey?

A conversational survey goes way beyond a static form: it’s an interactive, chat-like experience where attendees feel like they’re having a real conversation—not just ticking boxes. Here’s where Specific’s approach shines.

  • Traditional survey forms are static, rigid, and feel like homework.

  • Conversational surveys adapt in real time, follow up on respondents’ answers, and feel natural—resulting in richer feedback and higher completion rates.

The power of follow-up questions

Follow-up questions are the secret weapon for rich, context-driven feedback. Instead of stopping at one-word answers, AI surveys from Specific automatically dig deeper based on what attendees say. This works in real time and ensures you get full context—without needing to chase people via email later (a massive time saver). Thanks to automated followups, every conversation feels natural and responsive, not like a static questionnaire.

  • Event attendee: “The seating was fine.”

  • AI follow-up: “Could you tell me what you liked or didn’t like about it?”

How many followups to ask? Typically, 2-3 follow-ups are enough. Specific lets you tweak this—there’s even an option to skip to the next question once you have the info you need. It’s about getting depth without exhausting respondents.

This makes it a conversational survey: every answer sparks a relevant, human-like follow-up, so you’re running a real conversation, not an interrogation.

AI survey response analysis, qualitative insights, themes, easy analysis: Analyzing lots of open-text feedback seems daunting, but with AI you can quickly distill all the responses into clear themes and actionable next steps. See how this works in our guide to analyzing survey responses with AI.
