Attendee Networking at your event

How guests scan each other's tickets to connect and stay in touch after your event. Free on every eligible in-person event.

Attendee Networking lets guests scan each other's tickets to connect and stay in touch after your event.

It's on for every eligible Eventship event, free, on every plan. There is nothing to turn on.

How attendees connect

The event page tells attendees about networking, and so do their confirmation and reminder emails.

To connect at the event:

  1. Open the Eventship mobile app, or your community's own app if you have one
  2. Tap Scan to connect
  3. Scan another attendee's ticket

Attendees without the app can point their phone's camera at another attendee's ticket instead. The camera opens a page where they can get the app, or sign in and connect in their browser.

Both attendees are connected and can find each other in People you met.

Scanning is available from 2 hours before the event starts until 2 hours after it ends. If your event has no end time, scanning closes 2 hours after it starts. A ticket scanned earlier shows the time scanning opens.

Tip: Mention networking at check-in so attendees know they can use the app to connect throughout the event.

To preview the experience, open Manage event → Attendee Networking.

After the event

If attendees made connections, your post-event report includes:

  • Connections made at your event, not counting any that were removed
  • Number of attendees who connected with at least one person
  • Average connections per attendee who connected

Only aggregate numbers are shared. Organizers cannot see who connected with whom.

Events that aren't eligible

Attendee Networking is designed for in-person events with Eventship tickets. It isn't available for:

  • Online events
  • Event hubs
  • Events with external registration, where attendees don't receive Eventship tickets
  • Cancelled events
