Networking App increases perceived value of events

July 23, 2020 | 3 min read

Connecting with others is a primary motivation for attending events. The number of meaningful connections made and the potential for future collaborations are key factors in determining the success of an event. However, navigating large events with numerous attendees can be overwhelming. This is where event networking apps come in.

Event networking apps provide attendees with a seamless way to explore the profiles of other participants, initiate contact, and schedule on-site meetings.

These pre-scheduled meetings help attendees maximize their limited time at the event.

As an organizer, integrating an event networking app empowers your attendees to gain more value from attending your event by facilitating connections with exhibitors and speakers. Moreover, event networking apps require minimal setup and ongoing effort while significantly enhancing attendee engagement and satisfaction.

Event networking apps are one of the most worthwhile investments of time and resources for event organizers.

Here's how it works:

How it Works

Each participant has their profile on the Eventact event platform, which includes their photo, links to their websites and social media pages, and a contact button where anyone attending the event can exchange messages through their Eventact mailbox (their actual email addresses remain confidential for privacy protection).

Each attendee also has an agenda page with an hourly schedule for the days of the event, including meetings that were already set up in the system.
