"Took the edge off initial meet-and-greet nerves."
At the trade shows we've recently attended, Conversation Starter was a useful tool for getting people involved. It allows participants to register and list their interests, which helps those with shared goals to connect. However, it doesn't factor in attendee seniority, company size, or overall event objectives. Occasionally, it may lead to pointless networking connections that aren't very valuable. The tool addresses the challenge of initiating conversations and making contacts at large gatherings. It gives attendees a preview of potential matches before the event starts, and provides a platform to get a dialogue going.
