Survey template: Conference Participants survey about networking opportunities

Unlocking real insights from conference participants about networking opportunities has always been a challenge—response rates are low, and traditional forms often feel tedious. That’s why we built the Specific AI survey template: use and try this template to turn your next feedback round into an engaging, conversational experience that finally captures what matters most. Specific’s AI survey tools make building and running smarter surveys easy, whether you’re a research pro or new to feedback collection.

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

We’ve all been there: you send out a painstakingly crafted survey to conference participants, ask about their networking experiences, and cross your fingers for meaningful data. But, standard surveys feel like homework, and it reflects in the results. A conversational survey flips this script—rather than presenting a static form, it creates a natural, chat-like experience that feels intuitive and engaging for busy conference attendees.

Here’s a quick look at how AI survey generation stands apart from the manual, old-school approach:

Why use AI for conference participants surveys?

Traditional formats, even when carefully crafted, typically net a response rate of only 5% to 30%—anything above is considered stellar in the industry [1]. In contrast, conversational surveys—like those built with Specific—raise completion rates by up to 40% more[2]. That’s because the chat-driven approach feels less like a form and more like a dialogue. It invites participants to share, and, thanks to AI, it tailors questions as it goes. Specific’s best-in-class conversational surveys remove friction: participants engage, elaborate, and clarify, while survey creators enjoy a smooth, guided process from start to finish.

Automatic follow-up questions based on previous reply

Too often, you get vague responses in your conference participant networking surveys—answers that look “complete” but don’t clarify the real story. That’s where Specific’s AI-driven follow-ups shine. Our conversational surveys smartly adjust in real time:

• Conference participant: “I met a few new people, but nothing special.”

• AI follow-up: “Can you share more about what made those networking interactions feel ordinary? Was there something missing from the setup?”

Without follow-ups, you’d be left guessing what respondents truly meant, which means actionable insights are lost—or require manual email chases days later. Automated, in-context probing feels respectful and curious, keeping the flow natural and conversational while deepening your understanding. Try generating a survey yourself—see how the AI clarifies, probes, and gathers complete context, so you can trust your data.

That’s why follow-ups aren’t just a feature—they make the survey a true conversation. This conversational approach is the secret behind richer, trusted insights.

Easy editing, like magic

Customizing your AI survey template couldn’t be simpler. Instead of wrestling with endless dropdowns, you just tell our AI editor what you want to change. Whether you’re updating for a new event location, tweaking tone, or expanding on questions, edits are rapid. AI takes care of the structure, phrasing, and logic; you steer the intent. Adjust wording and add new topics in seconds—no manual formatting, no stress. Need more on editing? Dive deeper on the AI survey editor.

Flexible survey delivery

With Specific, sharing your conversational survey is flexible and tailored to your event needs. For conference networking opportunities, you’ll often want fast, accessible feedback. That’s where our two delivery methods come in:

• Sharable landing page surveys: (perfect for post-event emails or QR codes handed out at the conference) let you reach attendees wherever they are. Ideal if you need wide, open participation or want to include people not logged into your event app.

• In-product surveys: (embedded right in your conference app or virtual platform) catch attendees while the event is live, grabbing impressions on the spot or after networking sessions wrap up.

Choose what fits your workflow, or use both to maximize reach and participation. More on survey delivery and strategies is available in our how-to guide for creating networking opportunity surveys for conferences.
