FAQ

Event platforms and event apps can facilitate networking by offering functionality such as messaging, integrations with social media, and networking features such as algorithm-driven matchmaking.

Host a networking event when you want to bring together attendees with similar interests, goals, and backgrounds to foster attendee engagement and create meaningful connections. Accelevents supports networking at in-person events as well as virtual or hybrid events.

To create a business networking event, follow this process:

  • Define your target audience.
  • Set clear goals for the event.
  • Design an immersive event experience that allows for meaningful connections.
  • Select the right event technology to facilitate attendee engagement at your meetup. Consider an event website and event registration or event ticketing tools to attract, sign up, and check in participants. For an onsite event, you may want to offer attendees a mobile app. For online events, pick a virtual event platform with AI-driven matchmaking.

When facilitating networking opportunities through an event platform, event organizers should consider the risk of low attendee engagement, technical difficulties, lack of onsite support, and data privacy concerns.

Typical networking features of an event platform include AI-driven matchmaking, virtual breakout rooms and lounges, a meeting scheduler, push notifications, and an event networking app that allows attendees to connect before, during, and after the event.

Event networking software helps attendees find and meet the right people before, during, and after an event. In Accelevents, that includes interest-based matchmaking, timed 1:1 video networking sessions, breakout rooms, lounges, an attendee directory with connection requests, and a meeting scheduler, with analytics that count every connection, match, and meeting.

Create a session with the Networking type and set how long each conversation lasts. When it starts, attendees are paired for a 1:1 video chat, then matched with someone new when the timer ends, so they meet many people in one session. Add interest tags to pair attendees who share interests. Networking sessions run in the browser rather than the event app.

Attendees add interest tags to their profile, or you set the tags for them, and Accelevents uses those tags to suggest relevant people and to pair attendees with shared interests in networking sessions. Attendees can then send a connection request, chat, or book a meeting with anyone they match with, on the web or in the event app.
