Organisers can allow some, or all of their attendees and potential attendees, to see who in their network is attending using Bridge smart directories.
Most events already share a list of speakers and featured attendees. This lists can be so big that attendees struggle to see which speakers they already know. Bridge helps attendees to first see see what speakers they already know and to explore connections to other speakers they might want to meet. This improves the attendee experience and helps increase sales.
Bridge smart directories allow your attendees to learn more about who else is attending the event or any break out workshops and roundtables. They can see common connections and who can introduce them. This helps build faster trust and rapport as people can instantly see common connections and reach out to their networks for more insights on people they just met.
People often attend events and conferences to meet new people. Bridge allows event organisers to facilitate more introductions before and after an event. This increases the ROI of an event and gives organisers more insights into what type of connections and people are most in demand.
Conference organisers have used Bridge to offer a VIP/Premium tier ticket option to attendees where they can connect before and after an event. Organisers have used this approach to provide more value to your VIP ticket holders by allowing them to connect with more attendees before and after an event.
Conference and event organisers regularly share lists of attendees with sponsors. Bridge allows organisers to do this, while allowing attendees the option to opt into any introduction requests they get from sponsors. Organisers can also use this introduction volume and accept rates to help understand the value of their event to sponsors and which sponsors have the highest engagement rates with attendees
Bridge helps event teams to identify and request warm introductions to potential sponsors and speakers. This helps event organisers to save time and engage their networks to grow their events and organisation.
Events are fast moving as attendee, speaker and sponsor lists are constantly changing. Bridge allows organisers to leverage no-code tools like Zapier and webhooks to keep their lists in sync. In addition, Global Bridge profiles help ensure that organisers have the latest attendee profiles which saves them time having to maintain and clean up long lists of past attendees.
As Bridge helps attendees map and organise their networks, Bridge will be able to help members to identify and attribute the value of their network to an event or conference. As more and more users map their historical introductions, Bridge will enable attendees and event organisers to better understand the long term network affects of their events and conferences. While this is still a relatively early functionality, event organisers are excited about being able to work with their attendees to map meaningful outcomes (i.e. sales, hiring, partnerships) to connections that happened because of their events.
