Eventify Networking lets attendees discover, connect, and message each other during your event. It includes an attendee directory, interest-based matchmaking, connection requests, direct messaging, QR code scanning, VCard drops at exhibitor booths, and meeting requests — all inside the event app.

Q: Do I need to configure the matchmaking grid before the event?
Only if you select Advanced Rules as your matchmaking mode. Disabled and Common Interest-based modes do not use the grid.
Q: Can I restrict who sees who in the directory without affecting matchmaking suggestions?
Yes. The Visibility Grid is controlled by a separate "Users Visibility Rules" toggle and is independent of your matchmaking mode. You can enable visibility restrictions even when matchmaking is set to Disabled.
Q: Why can't some attendees use networking features?
Attendees must have Confirmed account status. Pending accounts cannot send requests, appear in the directory, or generate analytics data.
Q: How do I let attendees message speakers?
Go to Engagement, Networking and turn on Allow Attendees to Message Speakers.
Q: How do I make one QR scan connect both attendees?
Enable Both-Way Scan in the networking settings. The connection is then recorded in both attendees' accounts.
