When organizing an event, you want to make it as valuable as possible. Great location, great sessions, and most of all, great “networking” opportunities. And you know it better than anyone: the most valuable moments are those face-to-face moments.

In fact, just thirty targeted, face-to-face meetings generate a year’s worth of qualified leads, helping your attendees, exhibitors and sponsors get deals done, relationships forged, and ideas spread.

Presdo Match gives your event participants the opportunities to ensure those valuable interactions happen at your conference, trade show or corporate meeting.

We’ll help you turn your event from just a helpful experience into a profound, can’t miss opportunity for all of your attendees.

How Presdo Match Works

Presdo Match provides your event with an invitation-only “social network” for attendees, exhibitors and sponsors so they can find each other based on matching interests, communicate, and coordinate face-to-face meetings at your event.

Rich profiles about attendees, exhibitors and sponsors are merged from LinkedIn and your event registration information, providing detailed information about who’s attending
Exhibitors and sponsors can effectively market their companies within the social network and communicate with the most promising prospects
Attendees can see recommendations on other attendees with matching interests and who they know are attending
Communication and meeting requests are coordinated easily and securely
