Swapcard’s networking and matchmaking software is a tool that facilitates meaningful networking by providing similar matches and recommended connections to other attendees. The event networking platform also makes introductions frictionless with additional explanations to help break the ice and start conversations.
Swapcard's event matchmaking software uses AI to analyze public profile data, in-app activities, and attendee interests, suggesting relevant connections. Since 2018, the Swapcard Lab team has refined these algorithms, applying research and real-world data to improve results.

Matchmaking uses AI to recommend meaningful connections based on profile data and activities. Networking includes manual interactions like messages, meeting requests, and badge scans. You set the matchmaking rules—by segment, ticket type, or role—using Swapcard’s meeting permissions settings.
Use the Smart Meeting Generator to automate speed networking or structured 1:1 formats. The tool matches participants using profile and behavioral data, then builds optimized schedules for you.
AI suggestions appear automatically based on attendee behavior and interests. Manual connection requests require attendees to search, select, and reach out on their own.
Swapcard uses visible profile fields, attendee interests, job roles, and in-app behavior (like booth visits or session views) to suggest matches. All suggestions are based on opt-in data only.
Set visibility rules for different audience segments. Attendees control what shows on their profile and who can contact them. Swapcard follows strict data privacy standards.
Encourage attendees to complete profiles at least two weeks before the event. Early completion gives the AI more time to generate quality matches.
Promote full profile completion and platform engagement. Attendees who bookmark sessions, visit booths, and interact with content get stronger, more relevant AI recommendations.
Use Swapcard’s analytics dashboards to track connections made, meetings accepted, and engagement by attendee type, session, and time of day.
