Event apps like B2Match, Grip, Brella, MeetToMatch, Conversation Starter, and Let's Get Digital serve an important purpose. They help organizers manage attendee engagement: matchmaking, meeting scheduling, session planning, and networking facilitation within a specific event. Some of them are quite good at it. Conversation Starter in particular has been mentioned positively by professionals in our research for pre-event matchmaking.

The frustration professionals express is threefold. First, every event has a different app. You download something new, create a profile, learn the interface, and after the event it's useless. Second, these apps are built for the organizer, not for you. The data often stays with the event platform, not in your CRM or personal system. Third, they solve the during-event experience but do nothing for the post-event workflow: the follow-up, the context preservation, the CRM entry that actually converts a conversation into a business outcome.

SpeakSoon is event-agnostic. It belongs to you, not the organizer. It works at every conference, trade fair, networking drink, industry meetup, or ad-hoc meeting, regardless of whether the event has an app at all. And it handles what event apps don't touch: capturing contacts your way, preserving conversation context, enriching with real data, drafting follow-ups, and syncing to your CRM. You bring SpeakSoon to every event. It builds your networking memory over time.
