Survey template: Conference Participants survey about learning outcomes

Collecting insightful feedback on learning outcomes from conference participants is crucial, but building effective surveys is often tedious and yields low engagement. That’s why we encourage you to use and try this AI survey template for learning outcomes—Specific’s tools streamline the process, spark honest feedback, and help you make sense of results in no time.

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

If you’ve ever sent out a post-event survey to conference participants, you know how often responses are vague, rushed, or simply absent. Traditional surveys frequently see dismal completion rates—as low as 10% to 20% for post-event conference surveys. AI survey templates transform this: by bringing a natural, chat-like format, surveys feel more like a conversation than a homework assignment. That’s why we built Specific’s conversational survey tools to deliver an engaging experience on both ends.

Instead of static questions on a page, AI-powered surveys respond in real time, adjust next questions on the fly, and use clear, basic language anyone can engage with. AI survey generators like Specific deliver completion rates between 70% and 90%, a huge leap compared to traditional forms [1][2]:

Why use AI for conference participant surveys?

• Engagement: The friendly chat format increases response rates and keeps participants interested throughout.

• Accuracy: AI detects unclear or contradictory answers and probes for specifics, leading to higher data quality and actionable insights [3].

• Time: You build your survey in minutes—and respondents complete it faster, since all questions are personalized to their context.

Specific stands out with the best-in-class conversational survey experience. Every question—whether you’re measuring knowledge transfer or participant confidence—feels natural, relevant, and personal.

Automatic follow-up questions based on previous reply

A defining strength of Specific is how AI asks intelligent, context-aware follow-up questions in real time—just like a skilled interviewer. If you imagine reading through dozens of half-baked answers from conference participants—ones where intention or context is missing—you know how critical smart follow-ups are.

Here’s what can happen without follow-ups:

• Participant: “The sessions were good.”

• AI follow-up: “Which session did you find most valuable, and what specific insights did you take away?”

Or, without probing:

• Participant: “Learned some new things.”

• AI follow-up: “Can you share which new ideas or techniques stood out, and how you might apply them?”

By automatically generating these follow-ups based on each answer’s content, Specific ensures responses are always clear, rich in detail, and genuinely actionable. The days of second-guessing ambiguous answers—or needing tedious back-and-forth emails—are over. The survey itself is a conversation, drawing out exactly what you need to know. If you want to dig deeper into how automatic follow-ups work, check out our automatic AI follow-up questions feature overview.

This new approach is worth trying for yourself—most people are amazed by how much richer the resulting insights are. Follow-ups are what make it a conversational survey.

Easy editing, like magic

Most survey tools lock you into endless tweaking: you edit a question, reformat options, check logic, and so on. With Specific, editing an AI survey template is refreshingly simple. Just describe in plain language what you want changed—like “make the tone more encouraging” or “add a question about how participants will use what they learned”—and our AI instantly updates the survey for you. No technical skills needed, no tedious setup. Explore the survey editor if you want to see how fast survey editing can be.

Making updates, running multiple versions, or tailoring surveys for new conference sessions is as easy as having a chat. What used to take an afternoon now takes seconds.

Survey delivery: in-product or sharable landing page

You can deliver your conference learning outcomes survey however your audience prefers. Both methods make collecting honest, thoughtful feedback seamless:

• Sharable landing page surveys—Best for when you want to email participants after the event, share the survey in a conference newsletter, or invite responses via a QR code on presentation slides. This method is ideal for conferences, as you’re often gathering responses outside of a product environment.

• In-product surveys—If your event leverages a conference app or website, insert a conversational survey widget right in the digital platform. Participants can reflect and answer while their experience is fresh, increasing accuracy and completion rates.

For most conference learning outcome surveys, landing page delivery is the go-to, but in some modern events with companion apps, in-app surveys provide critical, in-the-moment learning feedback.

Analyze responses instantly with AI survey analysis

Once responses start coming in, Specific puts AI to work summarizing answers, detecting themes, and surfacing actionable insights—no spreadsheets or manual coding needed. Topic detection is automatic, and you can even chat with AI about your data for deeper exploration. Want step-by-step guidance on making sense of your data?
