How To Write A Survey
Venue: University of Atypical
Date: Thursday 14 May 2026
Time: 10:30 - 12:30
Join thrive for a practical training session on how to write, design and send your audience survey.
How to Write a Survey is a training session offering guidance on writing, designing and sending your audience survey. We’ll chat through survey layout, how to make sure you’re asking the right questions, and the dos-and-don’ts of writing your survey. We’ll also discuss different ways of distributing your survey and share some tips on getting the response levels you need. There will be opportunities to try out new techniques and test out what you’ve learned throughout the session.
This session is for you if you:
- want to survey your audience, but you’re not sure how best to get started
- have an audience survey already, but you’re not convinced you’re getting the most out of it
- have experience collecting surveys, but you could do with a refresher on best practice, or maybe just some new ideas
You’ll leave better informed on how best to write and distribute your audience survey.
