In **Settings → Features → Networking**, you can turn on our **Networking** feature. ![](https://files.gleap.io/pf/gattachments/qFR3TDvV5upzVtKr5DRVum64uiWv1zTYckTpwu7Qykx9MhKoG4dFXDt6jdw6gCW8wHTlzFm2IqD.png?v=1&k=a&s=api&e=1793664000&sig=ZHDNAoNaPxbcuIfXJVXOIodok4YWwRQvTl2t0-335Ng) What are the benefits of using this feature?  1. Attendees can easily create **valuable** **business** **connections** on both the Eventee mobile and web app. 2. Attendees can network **before** and even **after** the conference; they can chat or set an appointment. 3. Relevant connections only - attendees can decide whether they **want** to **connect** with the other person. * * * ### **How does Networking work?** Our **Networking** tool works similarly to Tinder - it’s match-based, which means only those who matched can network and arrange meetings through Eventee. Your attendees can either use the matchmaking method or the traditional way to browse the list of all joined attendees. They can start through the **Networking** tab. Once there, the **Start Networking** button will open their personal profile, and they will be able to fill out general information (name, position, company, photo, bio), but only the name is **required**. ![](https://staticfiles.gleap.io/ghelparticle/W3ubxhNU7R2MJ9KLMH3Vc8nBy0zZqWdVZIdE6zK2UZJFZIHXVoDrkJBrk8Vi2mDLJD0vUJBpPwp.png) Afterward, they can meet others by simply swiping right (to meet) or left (to pass). ![](https://staticfiles.gleap.io/ghelparticle/VVEeuMcMVga38V61wQ51rcEyNAsVRSIUf9VpSZ1Uf2LzS7P7ifEq9GwFZKPUwOCZuC2l7qloC44.png) Alternatively, they can view the list of all joined attendees. If they find someone they wish to connect with, they can send them a connection request by clicking on the green circle button. ![](https://staticfiles.gleap.io/ghelparticle/5aO0Or3ooVLITklQe44rBiUumItIQ2u2npNi3MR2xSLGc98e8VX0KYwdH6dhsgWVHEGGSulh6gr.png) In addition to the options mentioned above for finding someone they'd like to connect with, they can simply scan another attendee's QR code. ![](https://staticfiles.gleap.io/gattachments/MEp5eQrER3PbMk5tdvpvJJRXI47pW8K063hdViVTLGwFoYqntp672CxDy9NMnJscsPkXRvZ2DA9.png) Attendees can also manage their incoming connection requests anytime in the **Request** tab. ![](https://staticfiles.gleap.io/ghelparticle/iLMF4uTgUBJHvVdVR5XLmoJLYxc5MTdi8nIPjJcUFxp1OmjDFiay56saQYL3CYBSmwxpowGvrdW.png) Once they match, they can start chatting or set up a meeting right in the app. The communication is 1:1, and only matched attendees can see each other's private messages. ### **List of rejected users** Attendees can always revisit their rejected users list in case they change their minds. This list is hidden under the **Rejected Requests** button in the **Requests** tab. ![](https://staticfiles.gleap.io/ghelparticle/dtNTUTXuLHzDXzZ57KncWZcVaOQHxDzsynJFi2INIYxYIBObV8wcZoMhIVWSN4Zyv1eYp2Gs68U.png) ### **Meetings and meeting rooms** If you're organizing a hybrid or in-person event and have a dedicated place for networking, you can let your attendees book meetings at the place.  To set up a meeting room, go to **Settings → Feature → Networking**, and turn on **Networking.** On the networking tab, you should see a card where you can fill in the information about the meeting place: name of the room, number of tables, size of each time slot, and availability of the room. ![](https://files.gleap.io/pf/gattachments/YR3rTScuch7p3AjdN9r0E7enHBesjFn9v1F4Oy2IvabvPVFigFqVDHO2AyJ4klznKIEahX4WauM.png?v=1&k=a&s=api&e=1793664000&sig=k6jEpZFC9fp9Etyy32Ibz3v057XERJgNj2wYwtp22gA) Attendees will then be able to book the tables and time slots for their meetings via chat once they match with other attendees. ![](https://staticfiles.gleap.io/ghelparticle/aiZSGWfSAwerYSoLoeElZMVbsspKjVcibKHN7Rq7iHxpSPFOkNPtybeuhDwCsRqfvhku3KlaFOu.png) After accepting the meeting, the attendees are able to see it in their own agendas. ![](https://staticfiles.gleap.io/ghelparticle/Jt9E6SHG9phzdiSmwLveG8yhZrv0ArCcy25vpEFvhu3q2OcaWjZELcbrZkGE2pTf62qV43c9K4q.png) ### Add all attendees to networking You can decide whether networking in Eventee is **opt-out or opt-in**. When this setting is enabled, attendees are automatically included in networking as soon as they enter the event. Attendees can leave networking anytime in the mobile or web application. When disabled, joining networking is optional. Attendees who choose not to join won’t be visible to other attendees and won’t be able to send or receive connection requests through the app. They can join networking anytime in the mobile or web application. ![](https://files.gleap.io/pf/gattachments/66b35afa48b1970dc6dedb73-LEyndKDimMlF1UHLClgHXDa1BwMcTnt6kvsjMIpJYVTucBL79HE4uaGtqfEkoVTRUHK85yT3MtN.png?v=1&k=a&s=api&e=1793664000&sig=5DtcfvjBgV0wLmKeHcKvn4ZpjbL-ahnEvKy2cxe5-xg) ### Show the complete attendee list When enabled, attendees can see everyone in the app, including those not participating in networking. When disabled, they can only see attendees who have joined networking. ![](https://files.gleap.io/pf/gattachments/DgtNok4g5XpGVmjLqf8QHWfgUX28k6pLgtzVhcEVsRC0EKnNvFEMYOEfDgSfDP3GbCXO9EpC5qU.png?v=1&k=a&s=api&e=1793664000&sig=vuAmLPusV8mZAokRf9TtgdEBWz9p3hlRZFHLLi2E8_A) ### **Connect across all Eventee solutions** The Networking tool is available not only on the mobile app but also on the web app. This enables attendees to connect with each other regardless of the device they use to join the event. The Networking button is part of the menu on the left side of the web app, so it is visible to your attendees all the time, no matter what page they are on at the moment.  ![](https://staticfiles.gleap.io/ghelparticle/tzBxzbVlNtq2MyXMBLn1nGAoEVOTRmrJv2ExoQRaYehFnfSezGsrFlMELH9MAEvFM7nBrTqkw6G.png) As an admin, you can observe Networking usage in real-time together with other interesting statistics in the Dashboard tab and sections **Analytics**, **Session insights, and Networking**.
