For most of us, creating effective community building surveys for conference participants is tough—lower response rates, incomplete answers, and disengaged respondents are all too common.

If you’re looking for the best solution, this is what we do at Specific: our platform offers advanced tools and templates for building truly conversational, AI-driven surveys that make feedback easier and more insightful.

What is a conversational survey and why AI makes it better for conference participants

Crafting surveys that motivate conference participants to share meaningful, actionable feedback on community building is hard. Traditional forms rarely capture the nuance or detail you need—in fact, response rates for post-event surveys often hover between 10% and 20% at best[1], and the data quality can be inconsistent.

This is where AI survey generators come in. By simulating real conversation, they not only encourage more participants to respond but also elicit clearer, more specific feedback. You can check out our guide to best questions for conference participants community building surveys if you want inspiration on question design.

Let’s break down how AI survey builders outperform tradition:

Why use AI for conference participant surveys?

• Conversational surveys powered by AI boost engagement and response rates—strategies like delivering online and following up can even raise response rates to 70%[2].

• AI makes building surveys as easy as having a chat with an expert.

• AI-driven chatbots in surveys lead to higher relevance, informativeness, and clarity in the answers you receive[3].

At Specific, we focus on delivering the best user experience for both survey creators and respondents, making feedback feel natural and easy with our conversational AI survey tools.

Automatic follow-up questions based on previous reply

What sets conversational surveys apart is the ability to ask smart, context-aware follow-up questions automatically. With Specific’s AI, every answer from your conference participants triggers expert-level probing—so you never miss out on valuable insight because of vague or incomplete answers. It’s a game changer for getting the full context, without the hassle of chasing respondents over email.

Here’s why follow-up questions matter:

• Without follow-ups, you get lots of unclear responses. For example:

  • Conference participant: “I didn’t feel very connected to other attendees.”

  • AI follow-up: “Can you share what made you feel disconnected—was it the event format, networking opportunities, or something else?”

• Or another:

  • Conference participant: “The community activities were okay.”

  • AI follow-up: “Which community activities did you enjoy most, and how could future ones be improved?”

Imagine if you had to follow up on all of these yourself by email—what a time sink. With automated probing, you get clarity and depth on the first pass. These real-time, context-aware follow-ups are what transform a static questionnaire into a smooth, engaging conversation—just like talking to a curious researcher.

These automated followups make surveys truly conversational—they feel less like filling out a form and more like an engaging chat.

Easy editing, like magic

Tweaking your survey should be effortless. With Specific, editing is as simple as chatting—describe what you want to change, and the AI survey editor updates your survey instantly, using expert best practices behind the scenes. Whether you want to reword questions, modify follow-up logic, or change the survey length, it all happens in seconds. Editing surveys has never felt this magical, and you can read more about it in our AI survey editor overview.

Flexible delivery: landing page or in-product widget

Getting your survey in front of conference participants is seamless with Specific’s flexible distribution options. Depending on your community building goals, you can:

• Sharable landing page surveys: Ideal for sending survey links by email, sharing in conference follow-up newsletters, or posting in community groups—participants can respond at their convenience from any device.

• In-product surveys: Perfect if your conference uses a companion app or virtual platform, letting you prompt attendees directly after sessions or at key touchpoints, increasing immediate and contextual feedback.

You can mix and match these delivery modes to maximize reach and relevance based on how your audience prefers to engage.

AI-powered survey analysis and actionable insights

Once responses flow in, Specific’s AI survey analysis transforms raw answers into instant summaries and clear themes—no exporting, spreadsheets, or manual sorting. Our platform automatically detects topics, pulls key takeaways, and even lets you chat with the AI to dig into specific trends in your conference participants’ feedback. Curious how this works?
