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!”

Twee spelers in de zakelijke evenementenbranche slaan de handen ineen. Deelnemersregistratie voor evenementen via aanmelder.nl en matchmaking door middel van rondetafelgesprekken, workshops en één-op-één afspraken met Krowden.com. Het leven voor event organisatoren steeds makkelijker maken, dat is wat hen samenbrengt.

Is your event in a couple of days? Our event checklist will help you with making sure that all is on point. Note that not all of them might be applicable to your event.

You love cooking Phad Thai, but are afraid your guests are allergic to nuts? You bought your friend a gift but he already has it? You organized an event but your boss is not happy with the attendance rate? You could totally avoid it. But how?

I started my internship at NetworkTables in September of last year with a very welcoming postcard lying on the desk that soon became my home away from home. I was excited, and a bit frightened, to be starting as an intern in small but ambitious company. My colleagues added to both those feelings, in one way they were loving and supportive, but at times they could also be frighteningly active and energetic. Having worked in a dull supermarket for the majority of my teenage years, where lazy sixteen-year-olds basically come to pick their nose while unpacking a shipment of toilet paper or two, I certainly was not used to this dynamic enthusiasm I saw.
