Most event networking features fail quietly. A list of names nobody scrolls, a "people you may know" panel with no reason attached, and a chat that becomes a channel for selling. Delegates stop opening it by the first coffee break.
evenclo builds networking on two rules: a suggestion has to say why, and it has to end in something a person can do, a meeting with a time and a place.
A shared list of interests, not free text
You set the categories for your event once: cold chain, packaging, medical devices, whatever the show is about. Attendees pick what they are looking for and exhibitors pick what they offer, from the same list. Matching on a shared list rather than typed text is the difference between finding people and finding spelling variations.
Every suggestion carries its reason
Scores are rules you can read: a shared interest, a product that matches what someone is looking for, a role. You can weight them per event without a developer. Nobody is suggested without a reason, so the suggestions never turn into the directory in a different order. And because a suggestion is the same card the meetings screen already shows, its button books a meeting.
AI that fills the gaps, inside your list
Most attendees never open the interest picker, which leaves matchmaking with nothing to work on. The AI tagger reads what they did write, a headline, registration answers, an exhibitor’s description and products, and maps it onto your categories. It chooses from your list by number, so it cannot invent a category. A guessed interest is labelled as a guess and counts for less, and anyone who picks their own interests replaces the guesses. An optional AI pass can reorder an attendee’s suggestions; it can never add someone to the list.
Connections and chat, with consent built in
The directory is off until you switch it on, because turning it on publishes a delegate list to every confirmed attendee. Anyone can hide themselves from it, and separately turn off meeting requests. A conversation only exists after a connection is accepted, so nobody can be messaged by a stranger. A connection request sends a push and an email; a chat message sends a push only, so networking never floods an inbox.
- Directory off by default, and each attendee can hide from it
- One connection request per pair, ever
- Chat only between accepted connections
- Exhibitors appear as stands you book, not people you add
- Weights you can change per event, in the browser
Common questions
How does evenclo decide who to suggest?
From shared interests on your own category list, products exhibitors offer and weights you set. Every suggestion shows its reason, and nobody is suggested without one.
What does the AI do in matchmaking?
It reads profile text and maps it onto your categories, chosen by number so it cannot invent one. An optional pass reorders suggestions but cannot add anyone.
Can attendees opt out of networking?
Yes. Anyone can hide from the directory, and separately stop meeting requests. Chat is only possible after a connection is accepted.
