Survey template: Event Attendee survey about exhibitor engagement

Getting honest feedback from event attendees about exhibitor engagement is tough—people skip surveys or drop out halfway. To make this painless and actually useful, we built an AI-powered conversational survey template you can use with Specific. Try it and see the results for yourself.

What is a conversational survey and why AI makes it better for event attendees

We’ve all been there: sent out a survey after an event, hoping attendees will share what engaged them most with exhibitors—only to get short or incomplete answers, or worse, hardly any responses. Traditional survey forms are static and easy to ignore. That's where AI-driven conversational surveys flip the script.

A conversational survey feels like a natural chat. Instead of lines of radio buttons and boring grids, the AI asks questions one-on-one. It listens, offers smart follow-ups, and makes the respondent feel heard. The result is higher quality data and way more engagement from event attendees.

Let’s see how the traditional process stacks up to using an AI survey template with Specific:

Why use AI for event attendee surveys?

• Response rates skyrocket: AI-driven conversational surveys achieve completion rates of 70–90%—compared to just 10–30% with traditional methods [1].

• Smarter, relevant data: The survey adapts on the fly, asking relevant follow-up questions that regular forms would miss.

• Quicker setup, less work: Instead of painfully building each question, you describe your goal and the AI generates a tailored survey in seconds [4].

• User experience is king: Specific’s interface is built for frictionless, engaging feedback—so both attendees and survey creators love it.

Automatic follow-up questions based on previous reply

Here’s the magic: with Specific, every answer is an opportunity to learn more—right in the moment. Our AI doesn't just ask your main questions and leave it there. It listens like a real survey expert and follows up with context-specific questions, so you get complete, honest context (not half-answers to guess about later).

Picture how it looks in practice:

• Event attendee: "The exhibitor stands were a bit crowded."

• AI follow-up: "What do you think could have helped with the crowded stands—more space, better schedules, or something else?"

Without these follow-ups, you're left with vague comments. With them, the survey draws out specifics you can actually take action on—no need for messy back-and-forth emails or endless reminders.

The best part? The AI asks these questions intelligently, in real time, keeping the flow smooth and natural—just like an actual conversation. This is why our approach stands apart from forms that just collect whatever someone happens to type in the box.

In short: follow-ups turn your survey into a two-way chat—a truly conversational survey.

How to deliver your event attendee exhibitor engagement survey

You have flexible ways to share your survey—each suits different event feedback strategies:

• Sharable landing page surveys are perfect for post-event follow-up by email or SMS. Attendees get a simple link to a chat-style survey and can respond on desktop or mobile—no login or app required. This method is ideal if you want to reach everyone, including those outside your main platform, and maximize completion rates.

• In-product surveys let you collect exhibitor engagement feedback directly inside your event app or attendee portal. Launch the survey as a small widget when users finish visiting exhibitor pages or complete certain actions. That’s instant, context-rich feedback—thanks to targeting and seamless experience.

For exhibitor engagement, we find sharable landing pages work great for general attendee follow-up. In-product surveys shine for digital events and hybrid conferences where you control the platform and want contextual, real-time insights right after an interaction.

Instant, AI-powered analysis of survey responses

Once responses are in, Specific’s AI immediately analyzes them—no spreadsheets or manual tagging required. Our automated analysis finds key topics, summarizes the main feedback, and even lets you chat with AI about the data (“Which exhibitors stood out most?” or “What engagement pain points were common?”). You see actionable insights from your AI-powered survey right away, so you can improve your next event instantly.
