Founded by Jim Harrer and Scott Hunter, EventMingle is a configurable event based
online social networking web application designed to enable participants to Meet, Interact, Plan and Engage prior to arriving to
trade shows, conferences, conventions and other events. Simply put, EventMingle is the hottest new application to hit the trade show industry in a long, long time.
Working in the technology field since 1987, Founder's Harrer and Hunter have attended their share of Trade Shows, Conferences and Events. As exhibitors and Speakers they have participated at COMDEX over 10 times, multiple PC EXPO's, CTI Expo's. They have also attended dozens of conferences including AGENDA, DEMO, Microsoft's Developers Conference, Borland's Developers Conference and Windows CE Developers Conference to name a few. They have also produced their own User Group Conferences and understand the challenges in many aspects of event participation, from attending and speaking to exhibiting and producing.
EventMingle was designed to become the primary online social network for participants of the event long after the event is concluded. Over time, the physical event simply becomes the "Activity" where everyone goes to see their friends. It reinforces the trade show as a "Must Attend" event, which Event Producers love. If you're lucky enough to have EventMingle enabled for your upcoming event, you're about to experience a trade show event like no other!
EventMingle enables event participants such as Attendees, Exhibitors, VIPs, and Vendors to efficiently:
* Introduce and interact with event participants prior to the event.
* Perform effective pre-event marketing and inquiries.
* Schedule appointments and meet with other event participants.
* Market goods and services to other event participants, such as hotel, air and ground transportation.
EventMingle utilizes its online matching and relationship management technology for bringing people together. The technology has been used successfully in the online dating sector and is now used on EventMingle. Our goal is simple. We enable people to meet online prior to attending the event. Now when you attend the event you'll know some of the other participants who are attending the same session you are. Exhibitors will have appointments with more attendees and Speakers and Press Editors will have the chance to interact with attendees prior to the event.
Unlike our competitors, we actually partner with conference or trade show producers. EventMingle is customized for your tradeshow or expo and revenue the site generates from advertising is shared with the company producing the show. They have a better event and make money! It is truly a win-win situation for all involved.
We believe this is just the beginning in event based social networking. We envision the day EventMingle will be used by every major event, conference and trade show around the world for pre-event networking. And of course, we believe EventMingle will remain a valuable social networking portal long after the conference has concluded.
Welcome to EventMingle and a new way to supercharge your event participation. Thank you for being a part of this new and exciting technology.
