Event Tech Cover art

Networking has evolved from exchanging business cards at events to forging meaningful connections through innovative event technology. Flok’s “Flok Spots” app is transforming how professions connect and build relationships. Let’s explore how event tech is revolutionizing how businesses, entrepreneurs, and venues can benefit from interested-based networking and effective follow-up.

Event Tech Trends Shaping the Future of Networking

Today, event technology offers trending solutions like in-person interest-based networking and prompted follow-up to enhance the networking experience.

Scenerio

Imagine entering a conference networking event and knowing the people you want to network with. If you are an founder looking for investor, a freelancer needing work, or entrepreneur evaluating business partners, etc…

In the Flok app, users can configure their profile goals and interests.

Interest-based filtering increases attendee engagement and intentional connection.

Post-event is only the beginning! Following-up is key to strengthening that investor relationship, client lead, or partnership. Following up in the next 48 hours is crucial to keep momentum going. These trends are setting the stage for the future of the professional relationship. Flok’s feature “Missed Connections” will remember the fellow-attendee profiles, time, location, and messages exchanged to ensure an effective follow-up and overall event experience.

The Benefits of Attending Local Networking Events with Flok

Networking is everywhere, and so is Flok! Most event technology or event apps are only useful at that one event session/venue. But what about the offsite client dinners, happy hours, and city attractions? Additionally, local networking events happen everyday all over town. Flok effortlessly allows users network wherever they are! Even if you want to meet someone new at your local coffee shop, Flok’s geo-location based feature makes it easier to navigate local events and venues while connecting with like-minded professionals. These benefits underscore the importance of incorporating our app technology into your networking strategy.
