A seamless, integrated business calendar

Matchmaking: Build Meaningful Connections

The module manages the entire meeting process: connection requests, acceptance (or rejection), choice of time slot, and definition of location (booth, networking area, or integrated video room). Whether for peer networking or scheduling appointments with exhibitors, the participant's personal calendar is updated in real time, avoiding any overlap with conferences.

Networking without intrusion

Give your participants the choice with native opt-in.

Networking should not be intrusive. With AppCraft, theopt-in mechanism is native: each participant explicitly chooses whether they want to be visible in the directory and open to solicitations.
This strict compliance with the GDPR reassures your guests (especially VIPs) and ensures that exchanges are voluntary, thereby increasing the quality of interactions.
AppCraft also offers a comprehensive "Lead Retrieval" module.

FAQ: How to Organize and Optimize Networking at a Professional Event?

The choice of a networking app depends on the goals of your event: facilitating connections among participants, organizing business meetings, or fostering interactions between exhibitors and visitors.

Choose a solution that offers a directory with search filters, an appointment scheduling system, and integrated communication tools.

AppCraft brings these features together in its event platform. In particular, its Networking module allows participants to identify relevant profiles, exchange messages, and schedule in-person or video conference meetings.

Event matchmaking involves suggesting connections between participants based on their profiles, interests, and career goals.

It is particularly useful at B2B trade shows, conferences, and conventions where participants may not necessarily know one another.

AppCraft uses a matchmaking algorithm that analyzes the information provided by participants to suggest compatible profiles. Participants can then get in touch and set up a date.

The relevance of the recommendations depends, in particular, on the quality of the profiles and the criteria defined by the organizer.

To facilitate networking, we recommend opening the networking feature before the event so that participants can view profiles and schedule their meetings.

With AppCraft, each participant can send a meeting request, accept or decline an invitation, and choose a time slot and meeting location.

Meetings can be held in person or via one-on-one video conferencing. The built-in calendar allows you to coordinate appointments with the event schedule and minimize scheduling conflicts.

This format is particularly well-suited for events where professional networking is a key objective.

A networking app should allow participants to control their visibility and choose whether they want to be contacted.

AppCraft includes an opt-in system: each participant decides whether they want to appear in the directory and receive connection requests.

This feature is particularly useful for events attended by executives, VIPs, or professionals who want to manage their interactions.

To comply with the GDPR, the organizer must also inform participants about how their data will be used and specify the procedures for collecting and storing it.

The effectiveness of networking can be assessed using several metrics: the number of contact requests, accepted appointments, attendance at events, and participant satisfaction.

AppCraft offers a dashboard that allows you to track contact requests, accepted appointments, and the most sought-after profiles, among other things.

This data helps organizers identify the interactions that take place and improve future editions.

However, the number of appointments alone is not enough to determine the return on investment. To measure the business impact, it is also necessary to analyze the opportunities generated after the event.
