Overview

The Match by Topic & Category feature allows event organizers to pair attendees based on shared interests, areas of expertise, or goals—creating conversations that start at depth, not small talk.
By aligning participants through topics and their related categories, this feature helps your event achieve:

• More meaningful conversations that connect people around common professional or personal interests.

• Higher perceived value and engagement because every match feels relevant and intentional.

• Balanced diversity and inclusion, ensuring all participants are included while still connecting on mutually beneficial interests.

When used effectively, Topic/Category matching creates stronger opportunities, deeper discussions, and better outcomes for every participant.

How It Works

1. Choose a Topic:
   A broad area of interest or discussion theme (e.g., Industry, Hobbies, Sports).

2. Create Related Categories:
   Sub-topics or specific focus areas under each topic (e.g., under Industry, you might list Healthcare, Finance, Manufacturing).

3. Participants Select Interests:
   During registration, attendees choose the topics and categories that best match their interests.

4. The Matching Engine Works for You:
   SpeedNetworking.com’s algorithm pairs participants based on mutual category selections, ensuring each meeting aligns with their chosen interests.

Examples

These examples can be customized to fit your event theme—whether it’s a corporate conference, association summit, alumni gathering, or member networking event.

Recommended Setup Guidelines

Tip: Keep your categories concise and distinct to maximize matching accuracy.
Pro Tip: When in doubt, start simple—fewer topics and clear categories often deliver the strongest results.
