Attendee questions

    What questions should I ask attendees to improve networking?

    Ask about intent, not just identity. One or two short questions about what people are looking for and what they can help with do more for networking than a long profile form. Keep them specific to your event, make them quick to answer, and use the answers both for introductions and to understand your audience.

    Why do the questions matter?

    Whatever you ask shapes what attendees see about each other and what any matching has to work with. Ask only for job title and you get job-title networking. Ask what someone needs today and you get conversations with a purpose.

    What types of question work well?

    These are example question types to adapt, not preset templates:
    • What would make this event valuable for you?
    • What are you looking for?
    • What can you help other attendees with?
    • What topic would you most like to discuss?

    How do custom questions work in WITR?

    Every WITR event captures an Ask and an Offer. On Pro events, customisable questions let you tailor the registration and attendee profile questions to suit your event and the data you want to capture. AI Smart Connections reads attendees' Asks and Offers when suggesting who to meet. If you need some answers to stay with the organiser rather than appear on profiles, talk to us on an onboarding call so we can set this up correctly for your event.

    How do I gather audience insight without another survey?

    Ask at the moment people join, when they are already engaged. Two quick questions at registration get far more answers than a survey sent three days later. The answers then appear, anonymised, in Impact Analytics alongside engagement.

    Frequently asked questions

    What should I ask attendees at registration?

    What they are looking for and what they can offer. Add one event-specific question at most.

    How do I collect attendee intent?

    Through the Ask and Offer every WITR attendee adds, plus customisable questions on Pro.

    Can some questions be private to the organiser?

    Talk to us about your requirements on an onboarding call and we will confirm how answers are displayed for your event.

    What questions improve AI matching?

    Specific Asks and Offers. 'Looking for a logistics partner in Scotland' matches far better than 'networking'.

    Are custom questions included?

    Yes. Customisable questions are a Pro feature, alongside Ask / Offer headlines.
