The event engagement problem:

You have 400 registrations.

Sponsors expect qualified meetings.

Attendees want relevant connections.

You can't personally call everyone.

Scale kills personalization. Generic platforms kill ROI.

Here's what no one says out loud:

Networking platforms let attendees fill out profiles. 12% actually schedule meetings. Sponsors complain about ROI. You lose renewals.

The platforms aren't broken. The approach is.

What if every attendee got a real conversation -- on WhatsApp -- without your team making 400 calls?

65% response rate

Pre-event conversations on WhatsApp

Not surveys. Not forms. Real conversations -- text, voice notes, photos -- averaging 5.6 messages per attendee. 69% complete full discovery at CPME31.
