Award shows are all about bribing people together to showcase the best in the industry. Behind the scenes, it’s also a great place to network informally.

Hybrid events took no time in becoming a mainstay since the corona pandemic. Due to the constant fear of in-person cancellations, hybrid events picked up the slack. Now an event’s physical presence is combined with online components that can be enjoyed from anywhere around the world.

Hybrid events are the new normal in our events world after COVID. Now live events can be organized again, the mix of meeting live in limited numbers and simultaneously including an online audience in your live communication seems to be the solution. Our vision: ‘A session streamed online, is not a hybrid event.’

Imagine yourself being at an event with 300+ attendees. How do you find the right people, so potential business partners, to talk to? Usually, it is a matter of starting a conversation with a random person and hoping it will be time well spent. Are you an event organizer and do you want to organize events with more impact? Take out the scatter-gun approach in networking and facilitate effective matchmaking for your attendees, sponsors, and partners.

With Krowden (formerly NetworkTables) you can run virtual events like real events including roundtable discussions, 1:1 meetings, workshops, breakout sessions, and keynotes. It integrates with any video conferencing webinar tool.

At the moment everyone in the event industry has the same pressing questions: What to do with cancellations? What schemes are there for employees? What are the options for online events? How do I keep my business running?

Matchmaking is a process of matching people together – based on their interests, beauty, skills or business needs. It’s used in the context of sporting events, online gaming, business and many more. In this post, we’ll focus on the business aspect of matchmaking at events and why it is much more important to have a tool than you may actually believe.When thinking about business, words like “time”, “investment”, “connections” come to your mind as easy associations. With a matchmaking tool, your participants can master the value of all three of these aspects.

AMSTERDAM, 5th March 2020 – The arrival of the coronavirus is bad news for the events industry: events are canceled, resulting in additional costs and lost business. This doesn’t need to happen, thinks Matthijs Otto, founder of Krowden: “You only need a new location: online!”
