Conference Networking AppAI Matchmaking & Attendee Messaging
58% of attendees now say networking is their main reason for attending events - up from 39% in 2021 (Freeman, 2025). Attendees are showing up to meet each other, more than for the content.
That's why we built AI Matchmaking and Direct Messaging into the Evendoro event app: relevant matchmaking suggestions for your attendees, a reason why the connection makes sense and a conversation that starts in the app.

What is aconference networking app?
A conference networking app helps attendees find the right people to connect with at an event - and gives them a reason to start the conversation. Instead of scrolling a long attendee list, attendees see suggested connections sorted by shared professional interests and profile details, each with a reason why the connection makes sense.
When two attendees express interest in connecting, it's a mutual match - and from that point on they can message each other directly in the app. The matching runs on the profile details attendees and organisers add for the event.
How attendees findthe right first conversation
How attendees find the right first conversation - in three steps.
Discover
Attendees browse suggested connections - in a swipe view or a recommendation list - sorted by shared professional interests and profile details, each with a reason why the connection makes sense.
Express interest
Found someone worth meeting? Swipe right to show interest. Skip to see them again later, or swipe left if not interested.
Match & message
When the other attendee is interested too, it's a match - and from that point on they can message each other.
AI Matchmaking in the mobile app
AI Matchmaking
The app suggests relevant attendees to your participants based on profile data and shared interests - and, when the organiser turns it on, a short reason why the connection makes sense. Attendees discover people in a swipe view, or a scrollable recommendation list for more formal events - and when two people express interest in connecting, it's a mutual match. It is not meant to replace the human part of networking - it helps find the right first conversation faster.
- AI-ranked suggestions from shared interests and profile data
- An optional "why this match" reason on the card
- A modern swipe view or a recommendation list for formal events
- Private by design: mutual matches and per-attendee visibility control
The best connection at an event shouldn't depend on who you happen to sit next to.

Tag Matchmaking
Prefer to keep AI out of it? Tag-based matchmaking connects attendees by shared interest tags instead. Organisers can let attendees pick their own interest tags on their profile, so people are matched on what they choose - and the organiser can pre-set tags too.
- Matches attendees by shared interest tags - no AI involved
- Attendees pick their own interest tags, or the organiser sets them
- The same swipe view or recommendation list and the same mutual matches
A simple, transparent way to match people on shared interests.
Messaging in the mobile app
Direct Messaging
Attendees write to each other one-to-one inside the app - starting from a mutual match or directly from a profile. Who can be contacted depends on each attendee's own privacy and visibility settings and opting out of networking is also possible.
- One-to-one messaging inside the event app
- Conversations start from a mutual match or a profile
- Privacy and visibility settings per attendee
From mutual match to first message - while the event is still on.
