    How can attendees start networking before an event?

    Open networking before the doors do. Share a registration link in your pre-event emails, let attendees opt in and say why they are coming, and let them see who else has joined. People who arrive with two or three names in mind spend less time hovering and more time in useful conversations.

    Should attendees see who is attending before the event?

    If they have chosen to be visible, yes. Seeing a few relevant names in advance is the difference between walking in with a plan and walking in hoping. It also gives nervous attendees a head start. The important word is chosen. With WITR, only people who open the link and opt in appear. Being registered for your event does not put anyone on the list automatically.

    How does pre-event access work in WITR?

    1. 1Create the event and copy the registration link.
    2. 2Add it to confirmation and reminder emails, with a one-line reason to click.
    3. 3Attendees opt in and add their Ask and Offer.
    4. 4They can browse others who have opted in so far.
    5. 5On Pro events, AI Smart Connections suggests people worth meeting once there are enough attendees to compare.

    When should I open networking before an event?

    Early enough for people to look, late enough that the list is worth looking at. Many organisers include the link in the final reminder email a few days before, then mention it again on the day. There is no single right answer. It depends how far ahead your audience plans.

    How do I help attendees prepare useful conversations?

    • Ask people to be specific in their Ask, not just 'networking'
    • Suggest they pick three people to find on the day
    • Use the conversation starters on Pro events as a prompt
    • Remind everyone the QR code will be on screen at the event too

    Frequently asked questions

    Can attendees see who is coming before the event?

    Yes, if the organiser shares the registration link in advance. They see other attendees who have opted in, not everyone who bought a ticket.

    Can attendees join WITR before arriving?

    Yes. The same registration link works before and during the event.

    How can AI suggest useful people before the event?

    On Pro events, AI Smart Connections reads the Asks and Offers of people who have opted in and suggests matches from that group.

    Does everyone on my registration list appear automatically?

    No. Attendees appear only after they open the link and opt in themselves.
