What Is a Networking Event
A networking event, or a professional networking event, is a get-together where participants interact to expand their networks, aiming to:
- Meet new people and create new opportunities.
- Nurture existing relationships, by sharing professional updates.
In a welcoming environment, a networking event enhance connections through various formats: casual conversations over coffee or cocktails, one-on-one speed meetings, or icebreaker activities.
When networking is organized as speed meetings, it’s often referred to as speed networking or business speed dating.

How do I manage registration and participant follow-up?
The platform allows for a simplified and centralized registration process. You can also track participation and engagement in real-time through dedicated dashboards.
Is there a filtering system to ensure that exchanges are useful and well-targeted?
Yes, when selecting their meetings, participants can use an intuitive filtering system. This allows them to quickly find individuals that match their specific criteria, whether related to common interests, professional goals, or other defined preferences. This ensures relevant and targeted meetings, maximizing the value of each interaction.
What formats do you offer to stimulate conversations (workshops, activities, etc.)?
We design custom formats to perfectly meet your event objectives. For example, we have previously organized activities such as a dynamic bingo, a "speed-mytho" to break the ice in a fun way, or a "trip-meeting" for in-depth and varied exchanges. However, our approach is entirely flexible: as long as the meeting remains at the heart of your event, we can imagine and create new formats that stimulate conversations and strengthen connections among participants.

Can I customize the atmosphere and activities?
Absolutely. MEEWIZ allows you to customize formats, activities, and themes to create a tailored atmosphere that reflects the spirit of your event.
