Network Carousel (Virtual event)
It is as easy to bump into someone you do not know in a virtual event as during a live event, with our network carousel!
Enjoy next-level networking
Networking is the main reason why everybody shows up for events. That’s why we’ve gone all-in on bringing in-person networking online. Our network carousel and smart matchmaking make sure attendees connect with similar-minded people. 1-on-1 meetings are easily arranged and valuable connections are exported with a single click.
Innovative network carousel
Smart matchmaking of attendees
Easily arrange 1–on-1 meetings
Physical networking made virtual
Users can enter the programme item of the network carousel through the programme overview of the virtual event platform. When entered, users will be randomly (or based on their interests) matched during a given time frame. Furthermore, you can decide whether you'd like to cross match between exhibitors or attendees. These settings will ensure that people will create valuable connections during your event!

Head over to the Admin Panel to create a new programme item for the Network Carousel.
Click on 'Content' and select 'Programme' from the drop-down menu.

Decide who gets matched
Companies

Exhibitors and attendees
