Networking and connections

The reason most people
came in the first place.

An opt-in directory, contact exchange by scan, messaging inside the event, and a connections list that is still there the week afterwards. Networking stops being the part you leave to chance.

Why networking is left to chance

Everyone says they came to meet people, and almost nothing is built to help them

Events invest enormously in the programme and then leave the stated reason for attending — meeting the right people — to a coffee break and a name badge read at arm's length.

A crowd is not a network

Hundreds of people in a hall is not the same as knowing which three of them are worth finding. Something has to make the room legible.

Approaching strangers is hard

Plenty of attendees will not walk across a room. A message is the version of that introduction they will actually make.

Contacts decay fast

A name remembered on Friday is gone by Monday unless it was captured as something more durable than a conversation.

Consent matters

A directory that lists everyone by default is a harvesting problem. One people opt into is a network.

For attendees

Find people, meet them, keep them

An opt-in people directory

Attendees choose to be listed, then browse who else is at the event — so the directory is made of people open to being contacted.

Message before you meet

Conversations start inside the app, so an introduction does not depend on being in the same room at the same moment.

Scan to exchange details

A code scan swaps contact details on the spot, with no typing and no spelling an email address out over noise.

A digital business card

Every attendee has a shareable profile — by QR, link or vCard — styled for your event.

A connections list

Everyone connected with is kept in one place, which is what makes follow-up possible after the event.

Meet the stands too

Exhibitors are reachable through the same messaging, so a commercial conversation starts the same way as a peer one.

For the organizing team

Networking you can switch on and shape

The directory, messaging and contact exchange are separate switches, so you can offer as much or as little as your event and your audience are comfortable with.

FAQ

Networking questions

Is every attendee listed in the directory?

No. The people directory is opt-in per attendee, so only those who have chosen to be discoverable appear — which is what makes it worth browsing and acceptable to your audience.

How do attendees exchange contact details?

By scanning each other's code, which swaps details instantly, or by sharing a digital business card as a link or a vCard file.

Can attendees message each other before meeting?

Yes. Messaging runs inside the event app, so an introduction does not depend on physically finding someone, and no phone numbers are exchanged.

What happens to connections after the event?

They stay in the attendee's connections list along with any contacts exchanged, so follow-up is still possible in the weeks afterwards.

Can networking be limited to certain ticket types?

Yes. The directory, messaging and contact scanning are granted per attendee, so they can be part of what a particular ticket includes.

Do you support structured matchmaking?

Yes. For delegations and buyer-supplier programmes, business matching arranges scheduled meetings on top of the same attendee directory.

For organizers

Make the networking as good as the programme

An opt-in directory, scan-to-connect, in-app messaging, and contacts that outlive the closing session.
