Matchmaking is what a trade visitor tells their finance director the trip was for. Run badly it becomes a spreadsheet of requests, a WhatsApp thread per company and three people double-booked at the same eleven o’clock.
evenclo derives meetings from availability rather than storing a table of empty slots, the same way seating derives seat numbers. That single decision is why changing a booth’s hours does not orphan anything.
A booth has one diary
A party is either an attendee or an exhibitor company. Exhibitor staff are registrants attached to their company, so a booth with six people on it still has one diary — three of them cannot each accept the same eleven o’clock because they were each asked separately.
Slots come from windows, not a table
You set availability windows and an interval, and the slots are worked out on every read. Shorten a lunch break or add a second day and the diary is simply correct — there is no migration of stale slot rows, because there are no slot rows.
Booked during registration, before anyone travels
The registration form can carry a meetings field. A visitor picks the booths they want while they are registering, and those meetings are booked the moment the registration commits — then one summary email goes back to them, not one message per meeting.
The organizer keeps the override
- Bulk scheduling for the meetings you arrange yourself, confirmed on arrival
- Whose slot length wins, decided by one rule rather than per booking
- Who may book whom, set as a policy for the event
- Availability edited on the Meetings tab beside the rest of the exhibitor settings
- Push notifications when the mobile apps are configured, email regardless
Everything above lives in one module, and the routes are a thin shell over it. That is the reason the organizer’s bulk scheduler cannot quietly break a rule the attendee-facing booking obeys: there is only one implementation of the rules for either to use.
Four clients, one set of rules
An exhibitor arrives with a portal session, an attendee with a link from their confirmation, the mobile apps with their own tokens. All four reach the same diary because only the credential differs — which means a meeting booked from a phone at a stand obeys exactly the rules a meeting booked from the website three weeks earlier obeyed.
Common questions
Can attendees book meetings with exhibitors before the event?
Yes. The registration form can carry a meetings field, and the picks become real bookings the moment the registration commits.
Does each booth have one shared diary?
Yes. Exhibitor staff resolve to their company, so a booth with several people on it still has a single diary and cannot be double-booked.
What happens if I change a booth’s availability?
Nothing is orphaned. Slots are derived from availability windows on every read rather than stored, so the diary is simply recalculated.
