How is Meetaway different from video conferencing platforms?

Most video conferencing solutions, such as Zoom and Google Meet, are designed for group meetings with people you already know. Meetaway, in contrast, is designed for 1:1 speed networking style events where relationship building is important. The resulting differences are significant and include:

With Meetaway, attendees have control over which types of attendees they meet (based on matching criteria the organizer sets up) and they can request conversations with specific people.
Attendees are matched for a series of 1:1 conversations so they can genuinely connect and build relationships during uninterrupted one-on-one time with one person after the next.
Group conversations (like Zoom and Google Meet provide) can work well for information sharing, but they don’t work anywhere near as well for networking and relationship building.
Meetaways are run as a linear event, with registration ahead of time, automated reminder emails, a scheduled start and end-time, and an event wrap-up survey.

If you’re looking for meeting software, Meetaway isn’t for you. Whereas, if you’re looking to run networking events where people can build relationships, you’re in the right place!
