Many startups and aspiring entrepreneurs conduct surveys to gauge interest in their product, gather feedback, or assess potential customers’ willingness to pay. However, even small design flaws can skew results and render data unusable.

In this workshop, you’ll learn how to conceptualize and design surveys:

  • What questions do you want to answer with your survey?
  • Which survey format suits your project?
  • How do you formulate clear and meaningful questions?
  • How do you avoid bias caused by influencing respondents?
  • When is a survey considered “representative”?
  • You’ll gain practical fundamentals to confidently plan your own surveys and avoid common mistakes from the start.

No prior knowledge is required to participate.

This workshop will be held in German.

To conduct the online event, we will use the video conferencing tool of Zoom Video Communications, Inc. You can find information on data protection here: https://zoom.us/docs/en-us/privacy-and-legal.html. By participating in the event, you agree to this data processing.
