Event apps such as B2Match, Grip and Brella are built for the organiser and one event. SpeakSoon belongs to you and follows you from event to event.
Capture in plain language, no app
The whole loop in one place
Unlimited seats
Event apps like B2Match, Grip, Brella, MeetToMatch and Conversation Starter help organisers manage attendee engagement: matchmaking, meeting scheduling and session planning inside one event. Some are very good at it, especially for pre-event matchmaking.
Professionals describe three frustrations. Every event has a different app, which you download and abandon. The data often stays with the organiser platform, not in your CRM. And they cover the event itself but not what comes after: the follow-up, the conversation context, the CRM entry. SpeakSoon is event-agnostic: it works at any conference, fair, drink or ad hoc meeting, with or without an event app, and it builds your event memory over time.
