Name the webinar and its topic so attendees know which session they are helping shape. Keep the survey separate from registration and attendance confirmation. A response tells you about someone’s interests; it does not reserve a seat or guarantee that they will attend. After the webinar, evaluate the actual session with our [post-event feedback](https://www.surveylegend.com/survey-examples-templates/post-event-survey-template/) template. **Create your pre-webinar survey in SurveyLegend** Use this pre-webinar survey template to learn what attendees want to understand before you finalize the session.

You’ve tried the template from the respondent’s side. Make it your own with SurveyLegend. [Create your own survey](https://www.surveylegend.com/register/) Checking submission availability… This is a demo. We count starts and submissions only. Your answers stay in your browser and are never sent or saved. **—**Starts **—**Submissions Activity is temporarily unavailable. ## How to customize your pre-webinar survey Use a plain-language description of the topic without assuming everyone has the same role or experience. If you offer a technical session, replace broad experience choices with task-based descriptions. Do not promise to cover every submitted question. Group similar requests and tell attendees how unanswered questions will be handled. For example, a mixed-experience audience may benefit from a short foundations section before a detailed demonstration. Before sharing widely, try the questions with a few people from the intended audience and clarify anything they interpret differently. ## Printable pre-webinar survey template Use this printable pre-webinar survey template at an in-person briefing before a later online session. It includes the same questions and space to write, giving people who prefer paper or are less comfortable online another way to take part. SurveyLegend helps you offer both formats. Tell respondents where to return the completed form and who will review it. Paper answers need a separate review or manual entry process; they are not automatically added to online responses.

Group the questions into a manageable agenda and identify where background explanations are needed. Use the participation-format preference as an input, not a promise to redesign the whole session. After the webinar, evaluate the actual experience separately; expectations collected beforehand are not a satisfaction rating. ## Frequently asked questions ### When should I send a pre-webinar survey? Send it early enough to use the answers while planning the session. The right timing depends on how much of the agenda you can still change. ### Does this survey register someone for the webinar? No. Keep registration and attendance information in your actual booking process, and explain how attendees will receive access details. ### What if the audience has mixed experience? Use the familiarity and desired-outcome answers to plan brief foundations, relevant examples, and optional deeper material. Do not assume one average rating describes everyone.
