ConfNetwork used at Online Video Advertising Summit ‘08
With that many events and conferences around, where people mainly attend to network, its no wonder that applications pop up that aim to increase the effectiveness of networking at such events. One of those applications is ConfNetwork, which is still in beta and has been tested in 2008 at 10 B2B events. I was invited to the online business network powered by ConfNetwork in connection with tomorrow’s Online Video Advertising Summit 08. The tool is very easy:
ConfNetwork at Online Video Summit
1. Pior to the event you make sure your profile is complete (photo, tagline, matching tags and a brief bio)
2. The system matches you automatically with people attending the event with similar interests; also you can see whom of your address book contacts are coming.
3. Then online you make appointments and introductions. Start networking!
The idea is to connect people prior in real life at the Online Video Advertising Summit 08 by using the web prior to the event. So that is how I learned that I should match with among others Jens Borghardt of TVTutti, who has 2 million European videoviews monthly and is looking for video advertising, and Tim Vloothuis, crossmedia producer of TelegraafMedia and is looking for a freelance job. On the words: ‘women, woman, magazine, London’, no match could however yet be made.

Hope it works for you.
The goal is to make any event more effective for any attendee. If you spend 20 minutes on this network, you’ll meet 2 – 3 people who are interesting for you whom you otherwise would have missed.
Next time you’re going to an event you don’t have create a new profile. You now have one profile for all your events.
