Survey template: Event Attendee survey about overall event satisfaction

Getting actionable feedback from event attendees is tough, especially with outdated surveys. Use and try this AI survey template from Specific to make your next event evaluation seamless, engaging, and accurate.

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

Event organizers know that great events live or die by attendee feedback—but traditional surveys often fall short. Paper forms and static online surveys struggle to engage, and response rates stagnate at 5–30%, with anything higher being rare [1]. It’s tough to draw conclusions from partial, impersonal data. That’s where an AI survey template comes in.

Conversational surveys are different. Instead of a list of stiff questions, respondents engage in a dynamic, chat-like conversation—more like texting with a person than filling out a form. This approach is proven to increase survey completion rates by up to 40% compared to older survey methods [2]. AI survey generators, like the one from Specific, automate the flow and ensure every interaction is relevant and engaging for the attendee.

Here’s how it stacks up:

Why use AI for event attendee surveys?

• Attendees are more engaged when the survey feels like a real conversation, not a chore.

• AI survey generators like Specific adapt to each respondent, yielding more complete and useful feedback.

• You get richer insights for improving the attendee experience, all while making feedback collection easier for teams.

Because Specific is built to deliver best-in-class conversational surveys, you’ll see not only higher participation but also greater depth in attendee responses.

Automatic follow-up questions based on previous reply

Let’s be real: standard surveys often leave us guessing what an attendee really meant. Their quick responses (“It was fine,” “Could have been better”) rarely capture the full story. With Specific’s AI, follow-up questions happen in real time, in a way that feels natural and effortless—just like an expert human interviewer would probe for clarity. This is the key to turning feedback from vague to genuinely actionable. Not only does it save teams hours of back-and-forth emails, it ensures you collect the context you need in a single conversation.

Look at the difference:

• Event attendee: “The schedule was a bit off.”

• AI follow-up: “Can you tell me which part of the schedule felt off, or how it affected your experience?”

• Event attendee: “Food could have been better.”

• AI follow-up: “Thanks! Was it the selection, quality, or something else that stood out to you?”

Without these tailored follow-ups, you risk ending up with survey results that leave more questions than answers. Try generating a survey on Specific, and you’ll immediately experience how every response triggers intelligent follow-up, surfacing insights you’d otherwise miss. This is what makes it a true conversational survey—a back-and-forth exchange, not a cold form. Want to dive deeper?

With smart follow-ups, the survey becomes an authentic conversation, creating both clarity for you and a better experience for attendees.

Easy editing, like magic

Once you select your AI survey template, making it your own is as simple as chatting with a helpful assistant. Tell the AI exactly what you want changed—split a question, change the tone, add a new probe—and Specific handles all the hard work instantly. No fiddling with complex logic or formatting; it’s all done for you, so you’re ready to go in seconds. If you want to know how this works behind the scenes, see more about our AI survey editor.

Delivering your event attendee survey

How you deliver your event attendee overall event satisfaction survey shapes the feedback you get. Specific offers two flexible options:

• Sharable landing page surveys: Send attendees a link at the end of your event (by email, SMS, or QR code on signage). Perfect for capturing impressions when memories are fresh. Great for external events, conferences, and trade shows.

• In-product surveys: Embed the survey directly within your event app or website, so attendees can rate and share feedback while they’re still engaged. Ideal for ongoing series, digital conferences, or any tech-powered event.

For event attendee surveys, both methods deliver strong results. Many organizers prefer sharable landing pages for broad reach, while in-product surveys excel for tech events with their own platforms. You can choose either—or both—based on your needs.

AI-powered analysis: instant insights, zero spreadsheets

Collecting responses is only half the job. With Specific’s AI survey analysis, you instantly get automated insights—no need to export data or wrestle with spreadsheets. The AI summarizes responses, detects key themes, and even lets you chat with it to probe deeper (“What were the main pain points?”). This means faster decisions, richer understanding, and no manual grunt work.
