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

Getting meaningful input from conference participants on post event follow up is tougher than it should be. Traditional surveys rarely feel engaging—they're just a list of questions, often ignored. Even if people respond, you don’t get the gold: real details, personal stories, or honest feedback. This is where AI survey templates, especially those designed for conversational experiences, shine.

So, what’s a conversational survey? It feels like a chat—friendly, familiar, and genuinely interested. The survey asks questions, but it can also listen, respond, and adapt in real time. Specific harnesses AI to create conversational survey experiences tailored for conference follow-up, making it easy for participants to share the feedback you actually need.

Why is this so effective? Average survey response rates hover between 5% and 30%, and anything above 30% is considered excellent. That’s pretty low, and traditional forms aren’t helping. But AI surveys spark real conversations, which improves completion rates and data quality. Add media like images or videos, and you could see engagement jump by 10%—especially with younger attendees. Even something as simple as personalizing the follow-up can boost participation by 10–15% [1][2].

Let’s compare the manual and AI-generated approach:

Manual Survey Creation

AI-Generated Conversational Survey (Specific)

Static list of questions – bland & detached

Dynamic, adaptive questions – feels like a chat

No smart follow-ups, limited to original structure

Automatic follow-ups probe for richer insights in real time

Time-consuming to create and edit

Create or tweak expert-quality surveys in seconds by chatting

Low response rates and superficial responses

Increased participation and deeper, more honest replies

Why use AI for conference participant surveys?

  • Boost response rates and engagement with chat-like flow

  • Gather richer detail through real-time, personalized follow-ups

  • Reduce bias and incomplete data

  • Maximize efficiency—no wasted hours building and analyzing forms

Specific’s conversational AI survey templates make the feedback process seamless for everyone. If you want research-backed guidance on what questions to ask in your post event follow-up, we’ve got you covered there too.

Automatic follow-up questions based on previous reply

This is where Specific’s AI really shines. People rarely give you the whole story in their first response—especially conference participants after an event. Specific automatically analyzes each answer and asks a follow-up that makes sense in context, just like a skilled interviewer would. It’s not only about saving time; it’s about unlocking detail you’d never get with a static form.

Without follow-up questions, the feedback you gather can be vague or misleading. For example:

  • Participant: "The event was good."

  • AI follow-up: "Glad to hear that! Could you share what you enjoyed most or what stood out for you during the event?"

  • Participant: "The networking could have been better."

  • AI follow-up: "Thanks! Can you tell us what challenges you experienced with networking, or what might have helped make it more effective for you?"

If you skip follow-ups, those responses stay vague and unhelpful. The old approach means sending follow-up emails, chasing people for clarification—if they ever reply. With Specific, every follow-up is automatic, instant, and tuned to the conversation, ensuring your survey results deliver clarity and action-ready context. Curious how this feels? Start a survey, answer your own questions, and see how the follow-ups unlock depth you didn’t expect.

These follow-ups are why we call it a conversational survey. They turn a static Q&A into an engaging, productive dialogue. For more on how automatic questions work, check out our automatic AI follow-up questions feature.

Easy editing, like magic

Nobody wants to wrangle with complex survey editors (or ten tabs of settings). With Specific, you simply chat with the AI to change, add, or remove anything—from a single question to an entire section. Want to tweak the tone, adjust the Post Event Follow Up focus, or add a unique question for your conference participants? Just say it. The AI drafts, rewrites, or reorders your survey as needed, drawing on thousands of expert templates and up-to-date research, in seconds. It’s survey-making, but effortless. Want to go deeper? Learn how to refine your survey content in our article on the AI survey editor.

Flexible survey delivery for every event follow-up

Getting your survey in front of conference participants should be as seamless as filling it out. Specific supports two powerful distribution modes, each perfect for different follow-up scenarios:

  • Sharable landing page surveys: Generate a unique link to your conversational AI survey. Send it via email to all event attendees post-event, share on social, or embed in your event recap. This is ideal for broad outreach after a conference, when your participants aren’t all gathered in one place. Use this for feedback, testimonials, or open reflections on the event.

  • In-product surveys: If you host virtual conferences or run online event platforms, place your survey directly in your app or event portal. Perfect for targeted, high-context follow-up right after a session—engage users when their memory is fresh and their feedback is most actionable. Advanced targeting means you hit the right participants, every time.

If you run hybrid events, you can mix both: first, capture feedback in-app; then, send a broader follow-up survey after the conference wraps. Learn more about these survey workflows and their use cases on our in-depth product pages: landing page surveys and in-product surveys.

AI survey analysis: get instant, actionable insights

There’s no value in fast response collection if analysis still requires endless spreadsheets and manual tagging. With Specific, our AI survey analysis summarizes every response, uncovers key topics, and highlights trends—instantly. You can chat with AI about your results, ask for breakdowns by participant group or session, and dig into any topic with a single question. Try it for yourself with a tour of how to analyze Conference Participants Post Event Follow Up survey responses with AI.

Automated survey insights mean you act faster—deciding quickly what needs attention, what’s working, and what your conference participants are truly telling you. Features like automatic topic detection and direct AI chats make analyzing survey responses with AI a game-changer for any post-event feedback loop.
