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.

Yes! We play nicely with other virtual conferencing products and have designed Meetaway to work well as the networking portion of a virtual conference or virtual events.

Your event runs automatically at the scheduled start time. There's nothing you need to do (unless your event also includes a webinar). We know this can feel a bit different at first because organizers are so used to having to do everything. We recommend that organizers either attend the event themselves or watch the "live stats" on the event data tab of the organizer dashboard for their first few events. Organizers also love seeing the attendee feedback report after the event is over. ThatFew readers
