If you’re planning an event with Q&A, it can be valuable to know what questions your audience has before the meeting starts. Here’s why:
Better preparation: You’ll have time to review and prepare thoughtful answers.
Deeper engagement: Attendees can reflect on the topic, submit their questions, and upvote the ones that matter most.
Idea building: One question often sparks others, reducing the number of “afterthought” questions once the event ends.
Accessibility: People can submit questions from their desks ahead of time, which helps those who find mobile devices challenging.
How to Collect Questions in Advance
Option 1: Open Your Meeting Early with the Q&A Module
Create your meeting weeks (or even months) before the event.
Enable the Multi-Topic Q&A module and add a Topic for submissions.
Publish the meeting and share the URL week (or months!) before the start of your event.
Attendees can ask their questions, and the panelists or leaders will know what questions they'll need to answer.
Option 2: Use Registration with a Short-Text Poll
Add a short-text poll to your Registration form.
Collect questions as people sign up — no need to open the meeting far in advance.
Useful if you’d like to gather input without running an active Q&A session early.
