Q05
Multiple Choice

- In person only
- Virtual only
- Hybrid (in person with a virtual option)
- No preference
Q06
AI Interview
Probe the reasoning behind the respondent's recommendation score: ask what single session, speaker, or interaction most shaped that score, and whether it was a highlight or a letdown. Anchor on whichever aspect they rated lowest in the ratings grid and ask what specifically fell short and what would have fixed it. If they gave a high recommendation score, ask what almost kept them from giving a higher one. Close by asking what one change would most increase their likelihood to attend again.

AI-drafted copy

Auto report
Themes, quotes, and a plain-English summary write themselves once responses come in.
How it compares
We reviewed the closest templates from other survey tools. Here’s what they do well — and where this template goes further.
Why this template
- Goes beyond static ratings with an AI follow-up interview that probes the single moment or gap that most shaped each attendee's recommendation score, not just the score itself.
- Covers the full picture event teams need for next year's planning: a session/speaker/networking/logistics matrix, max-diff ranking of future topics, and a format preference question, alongside recommend-likelihood.
- Separates required feedback from optional demographic questions (role, industry, years attended) with clear chat-message transitions, keeping the survey feeling conversational rather than like a form.
- Ends with an open-ended long-text question so organizers can capture suggestions or praise that fixed-choice questions would miss, then rolls everything into an auto-generated report.
Jotform
Conference Evaluation Form TemplateA ready-to-use, customizable conference evaluation form built on Jotform's drag-and-drop form builder. It's a static template meant for quick deployment and covers standard rating-scale questions, but it doesn't adapt to individual responses. Good for teams wanting a fast, no-frills form rather than deeper qualitative insight.
What it does well
- Easy to customize and deploy quickly via drag-and-drop builder
- Familiar, simple form format that respondents can complete fast
- Part of a broad template library so it's easy to find alongside related event forms
Where it falls short
- Fixed question set with no adaptive follow-up to explore why a rating was given
- No transparent, publishable methodology for how responses are scored or interpreted
- No built-in report generation tying qualitative comments to quantitative scores
QuestionPro
Conference Evaluation Survey Questions + Sample Questionnaire TemplateA sample questionnaire paired with guidance on conference evaluation survey questions, functioning partly as an educational resource and partly as a usable template. It offers a solid question bank for sessions, speakers, and logistics but is a static instrument once deployed. Best suited to teams who want question ideas alongside a template rather than an adaptive interview experience.
What it does well
- Provides both example questions and survey-writing guidance in one place
- Backed by QuestionPro's broader survey analytics and reporting platform
- Covers common evaluation dimensions like sessions, speakers, and logistics
Where it falls short
- Static question list with no adaptive AI probing into individual responses
- Presented largely as a guide/sample rather than a single fielding-ready survey flow
- No transparent per-response quality scoring or prompt-level methodology disclosed
Typeform
Conference Evaluation Survey TemplateA conversational, one-question-at-a-time survey template built on Typeform's polished UI. It delivers a pleasant respondent experience for standard conference feedback questions but, like other form-based tools, asks the same fixed questions of everyone. Suited to teams who value design and simplicity over deeper follow-up.
What it does well
- Clean, conversational one-question-at-a-time interface
- Strong design and branding customization typical of Typeform
- Easy to share and embed for quick attendee response collection
Where it falls short
- No adaptive follow-up questioning — every respondent sees the same fixed flow
- No voice AI interview option or guided screen-share tasks
- No automated quality scoring or transparent AI prompt methodology
