Event survey software for conferences, workshops and training days
Asked is event survey software for conference organizers, workshop hosts and training teams. You send one link by QR code or email, attendees answer by text, voice or video in about a minute, and AI groups what they said into themes with quotes, so you know which sessions to repeat, which to drop and what to tell sponsors before the venue booking for next year closes.
Why event feedback usually comes back empty
The standard post event form hears mostly from the loudest and the happiest. Attendees are tired, on a phone, and a paragraph box on a small screen is a chore. So you get a 4.2 out of 5 and three comments, one about parking.
The useful feedback is specific. The second keynote ran 20 minutes over and lunch was gone. The workshop room was too warm. The sponsor booth was in a corridor nobody used. People say these things easily out loud, on the walk to the car, and badly in a text box.
- Put a QR code on the closing slide and on the badge holder, not only in a follow up email.
- Ask one rating and two open questions: what was the best moment, what should we change.
- Offer voice first. Thirty seconds of talking beats three typed lines.
- Send the follow up within 24 hours and one reminder on day three.
What Asked does for events
- A short survey with a rating and two open questions, answered by voice, video or text on any phone.
- One link or QR code per event or per session, no app and no login for attendees.
- Automatic transcripts for every recording, searchable across the whole event.
- Themes with sentiment and the exact quotes behind each, so you can see that 14 attendees mentioned the same room problem.
- Separate surveys for attendees, speakers and sponsors, read together or apart.
- Short video answers you can cut into testimonial clips for next year's promotion, with permission asked in the survey.
- Export to CSV and PDF on every plan, plus webhooks on Business to push finished responses to your own systems.
Describe the event
Type what you want to learn, for example "how did the two day product conference feel for attendees". Asked drafts a survey with one rating and two open questions, and you edit it.
Share the QR code before people leave
Show it on the closing slide, print it on table cards and email the link the next morning. Attendees answer from their seat.
Attendees answer in a minute
They tap a rating and record a short voice note or type. No login, no app.
Read the themes and brief the next event

Who buys event survey software
- Conference and meetup organizers who need proof of value to renew sponsors.
- Corporate event and internal comms teams running offsites, town halls and training days.
- Training companies and workshop hosts who sell seats and live on repeat bookings.
- Association and chamber of commerce staff who report event results to a board.
- Teams who also collect feedback between events with client feedback software or want a standing score with NPS software.
If you promote events through your own site, a tool such as Automarketer can keep that marketing running while you focus on the programme, and the survey link then fills in the gaps afterwards.
Ways to collect event feedback compared
| Approach | Paper cards | Form tool | Asked |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reply rate | Low, cards get left behind | Low after the day, the moment has passed | Higher, a QR code and a 60 second voice answer at the venue |
| Open answers | Hand typed later, most never read | Typed, often skipped | Voice, video or text with transcripts |
| Reading 300 answers | Days | A spreadsheet to sort by hand | Automatic themes with quotes |
| Reusable material | None | Text quotes | Short video answers for testimonials, with consent |
| Best for | A small workshop where you can read every card | A quick score | Events of 50 to several thousand people with sponsors to report to |
For a ten person workshop paper is fine. The survey pays back when you must summarize hundreds of answers for sponsors.

FAQ
Event survey software collects feedback from attendees, speakers and sponsors before, during and after an event, then organizes the answers for the organizer. It ranges from simple form tools to platforms that group open comments into themes. Asked adds voice and video answers so attendees can speak instead of type.
Send it within 24 hours, while attendees still remember the sessions. A reminder after three days recovers many more answers. For multi day events, send a short pulse at the end of each day so you can fix room, food or schedule problems while the event is still running.
Five to seven. One rating of the overall event, one on the best session, one open question on what to change, plus a likelihood to return. Every extra question lowers completion. A voice answer to one open question gives more detail than five typed ones.
Asked starts at $49 a month, or $24 a month billed yearly, with voice and video answers and AI themes on every plan. Pricing is per workspace and attendees never count as seats. Growth at $129 a month includes 2,500 responses and 5 seats for organizers running several events a year.
