Attendee Networking
Scientific meetings thrive on high-level academic exchange. Networking at these events should be easy, relevant, and useful. EventPilot offers multiple ways for attendees to discover peers, researchers, clinicians, industry partners, and collaborators based on shared interests, profiles, and session participation. With integrated networking tools available in both the event app and desktop itinerary planner, organizers can support better participant engagement before, during, and after the meeting.
Networking and Collaboration Tools in EventPilot
AI-Powered Attendee Recommendations
MeetingMates™
MeetingMates brings intelligent networking recommendations into the EventPilot conference platform. Using AI to analyze overlapping schedules and shared professional and personal interests, it introduces attendees to relevant researchers, clinicians, and industry colleagues. Recommendations are refreshed daily, creating opportunities for valuable connections throughout the meeting.
Participant Search & Peer Discovery
Attendee Directory
Give participants access to a searchable directory of registered conference attendees. Import attendee records directly from your registration system to provide a complete participant list without requiring attendees to create or maintain profiles. Attendees can quickly find colleagues and identify participants by name or organization, even when offline in the mobile app. Login is required to protect attendee information. For more interactive networking, PeerFinder adds personalized profiles and private 1:1 messaging.
Integrated Attendee Messaging
PeerFinder™
PeerFinder brings attendee profiles and private 1:1 messaging together within EventPilot’s conference platform. Participants can enhance their profiles with professional interests, areas of expertise, and personal information, creating more opportunities for meaningful interactions. Integrated messaging allows attendees to start private conversations directly from attendee profiles, while the seamless connection between the directory and chat supports networking throughout the conference.
Private Chat to Build Meaningful Connections
1:1 Messaging
Give attendees a simple way to connect with peers, researchers, clinicians, industry partners, and other contacts in the event app and desktop itinerary planner. Private Messaging supports one-to-one conversations for follow-up after sessions, continued discussion, and direct outreach. Built-in spam protection and profanity filters help keep messaging relevant and professional. Organizers can limit access to verified, logged-in attendees so conversations stay within the event community.
Community Building via Scientific Discourse
Session Discussions & Community Boards
Public discussion boards keep attendees engaged before, during, and after the meeting. Organizers can enable discussion for sessions, exhibitors, and create custom boards for specific topics, giving attendees a place to ask questions, share insights, and connect around shared interests. Crowdsourced flagging and automated email alerts help surface issues only when needed, so organizers do not need to actively monitor every discussion.
Central Hub for all Attendee Communication
Chat Dashboard
The networking experience includes a comprehensive dashboard with easy access to existing chats and session discussions, helping users keep track of ongoing conversations and session discussions they particpated in. A centralized messaging view makes peer communication organized and easy to use throughout the event. The fully integrated networking tools support attendee engagement without sending users to outside platforms.
Easy Contact Exchange
Digital Business Cards
EventPilot supports digital business card sharing so participants can exchange contact details quickly during the meeting. If organizer badges are set up in a supported format such as vCard or meCard, attendees can simply scan one another’s badges to capture contact information. This creates a simple and efficient contact exchange experience for scientific and medical meetings where participants often meet many people in a short time.
