Networking and effective relationship building at all types of events

Exchange of experience, meeting colleagues and like-minded people, finding potential partners, clients, contractors, or suppliers.

Valuable encounters at large events are more often a matter of chance than a rule. Even if the right person is present, it can be hard to find and approach them. Moreover, not all attendees are comfortable initiating conversations with others.

Previously, organizers tried to help by preparing name badges and writing attendees’ names with markers on the spot. Some still do, but this method is outdated — such badges look unattractive, the text is hard to read, and the marker might even stain guests' clothes.

It is the organizer's task to provide tools that help guests discover which companies will be represented, who the people are, and allow participants to introduce themselves, learn about others, schedule meetings, or start private conversations.
