Event Intro
Virtual Event Networking That Isn't a Lobby
Virtual event "lobbies" and random-match roulette don't work. EventIntro matches remote attendees by goals and hands each one a reason to start the conversation.
Who this is for
- Organizers of virtual conferences, summits, and community events.
- Hosts who watched their event's "networking lounge" sit empty.
- Teams that want online networking to feel intentional, not like random video roulette.
Why do virtual networking lounges sit empty?
Online, there is no accidental proximity — nobody drifts into a conversation because they happened to be near the snack table. A virtual "lounge" recreates the empty room without the physical serendipity that made in-person networking work at all. EventIntro replaces proximity with matching: instead of hoping attendees bump into each other, it tells each one precisely who to message and why.
Every failed virtual-networking feature makes the same mistake — it copies the in-person space (a lobby, a map, round-robin video) and forgets that the space was never the point. Serendipity was. Online, serendipity has to be manufactured.
Does EventIntro host the video?
No. It runs alongside Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams rather than replacing them — EventIntro is the matching and introduction layer, and you keep whatever platform streams your sessions. See what EventIntro is for how that layer sits on top.
How do remote attendees actually connect?
Each attendee gets a ranked list of who to meet, a one-line reason for each, and a chat layer to open the conversation before and after sessions. The personalized introduction does the job the hallway used to do — it gives two strangers a concrete reason to start talking, which a blank DM box never will.
