Set Better Meetings with Brella’s Intelligent Matchmaking & Dedicated Networking Tables

“Our company has invested a lot of money so that I can come here, so I need to be able to show my director who I met. Because of Brella, I can go back and show a list of people I met and who I had a good 15 minute conversation with.”

“If I were doing this manually, I‘d be lucky if I had one-tenth of the meetings. It’s just a very efficient way to plan a day.”

A DATA-DRIVEN EVENT
We use networking and interest data to provide sponsors and exhibitors more “bang for their buck”.
INTELLIGENT MATCHMAKING
Attendees love how easy it is to find and easily schedule useful meetings. Only see times both people are free to meet.
HASSLE-FREE SCHEDULING
See recommended times both people are free. Meetings are 15 minutes at the assigned table in the networking area.
DEDICATED NETWORKING AREA
Numbered tables in a designated spot means you don’t have to figure out where to meet. Show up and find your table number.
MESSAGING & CHAT
No need to give your private info to strangers. Select yes or no to a request, then chat in the app until business moves forward.
