From the first match to a long-term partnership: how networking stays sustainable

As an event organizer, you invest a lot of time and effort in planning - and you want the participants to not only network on site, but also benefit from it in the long term. However, contacts often fizzle out more quickly than expected after the event. With a few simple measures, you can ensure that the first matches turn into real partnerships.

‍

1. follow-up made easy: strengthening connections

After the event is before the networking! Use the opportunity to motivate participants to stick with it. The first few days after the event are particularly important.

💡 Tip: Encourage participants to exchange messages directly after the event. A short "Thank you for being there" message is often enough to strengthen the connection.

‍

2. keep profiles up to date: Presence after the event

A well-maintained profile is the basis for sustainable networking. Participants often forget to update their information - and quickly lose contact.

💡 Tip: Send a short reminder after the event to encourage you to update your profile.

‍

3. deepening connections: promoting cooperation

The first contact has been made - now it's time to deepen the relationship. As the organizer, you can support this by creating points of contact.

💡 Tip: Plan small follow-up events or webinars where participants can exchange ideas again. Use your event app for invitations and coordination.

‍

4. keep the exchange alive: Building community

Your event community thrives on regular interaction. Give the participants an opportunity to continue exchanging ideas after the event - for example through a joint project or topic-specific groups.

💡 Tip: Use the group and chat functions of your event app to keep the exchange lively. This keeps the community active and connected.
