Networking

1:1 chat, group chat & discussion

A first message to another guest is a chat request; the conversation opens only when they accept, and anyone can be blocked. Teams can get their own chat room, and a discussion board with mentions gives the whole event one place to talk. Chat can stay locked until a guest has registered.

FAQ

Common questions

Can attendees message anyone?

No. A first message is a chat request, and chat continues once the other person accepts. They can also reject or block, so networking stays opt-in.

Can networking be limited to ticket holders?

Yes. One-to-one chat can be restricted to ticket holders, as at the Bengaluru Wedding Fraternity Meet Up where networking stayed locked until registration and payment were complete.

Is there AI matchmaking?

No. Matching is rules-based through the directory search, groups and chat requests. Sociana does not do AI matchmaking.
