Event Matchmaking
Everyone meets the right people, on a schedule.
Event matchmaking is a structured way to run an event's networking so the right people actually meet, instead of leaving it to who happens to stand nearby. Attendees move through short timed rounds, and a schedule pairs them with someone worth talking to in each round. Two-sided setups match groups like investors and founders; single-sided setups rotate everyone through everyone.
Why it matters
Networking is why most people bought the ticket, yet it usually gets a room and a bit of hope. People talk to whoever is standing nearby, and leave without meeting the ones they came for. This is the fix I reach for: NetworkingTables, a free tool that turns the networking hour into a plan.
How it works
You define the groups and the round length, the screen runs the schedule and the timer, and guests rotate one table at a time. Four moving parts, no app to install.
Set roles and rounds: Two groups like investors and founders, or one group where everyone mingles. Pick a round length and you are set.
Put it on the big screen: The screen shows who meets whom and where, runs the timer, and rotates the room. You control it from your phone.
No app for guests: Your attendees look at the screen and move one table over. No downloads, no accounts, no guest data collected.
Fair by design: A round-robin schedule with no repeats, odd numbers handled, and the shortest walk between rounds. It is genuinely free.
