Matchmaking at events: you should avoid these mistakes

Matchmaking can revolutionize networking at your events - but only if you avoid a few typical mistakes. We have summarized the most common stumbling blocks for you so that your attendees not only make contacts, but also create real connections.

‍

1. unkempt profiles: The networking killer

A well-completed profile is the basis for successful matches. However, if participants only provide their name and a general job title, the potential is lost.

💡 Tip: Encourage guests to enter personal information and interests in the event app in advance. A brief guide during the invitation process makes it easier for them.

‍

2. unclear networking goals: Connections without direction

The participants themselves often don't know why they should network. If the goals are unclear, the matches remain unused.

💡 Tip: Clearly define the networking opportunities in the event app and highlight the benefits of the contacts. Whether industry exchange, project partners or insights - make the opportunities visible!

‍

3. no targeted matching: chance instead of strategy

Simply networking all participants with each other leads to superficial contacts and frustration. Instead, you should pay attention to specific matching criteria.

💡 Tip: Use the smart functions of the UpVisit event app to match interests and needs. This creates connections that really offer added value.

4th networking ends at the event: Potential wasted

All too often, matchmaking ends with the event - and valuable contacts remain unused. The opportunity lies in the follow-up.

💡 Tip: Motivate participants to stay in touch via the app after the event. Reminders and follow-up messages help to keep the conversation going.

Conclusion: added value through strategic matchmaking

For matchmaking to work at your event, you need more than just the opportunity to network. Rely on a clear structure, targeted profiles and smart functions - and use the UpVisit event app to connect your attendees before, during and after the event.
