Meetsivity helps people at events get to know each other, connect in person, and stay connected afterward. If you’ve been invited to a Meetsivity event, download the app and enter the unique event code provided by the organizer. From there, you can register, create a profile specifically for that event, and answer Glimpses selected by the organizer. Your responses help other attendees learn a little about you before you meet and give everyone easy ways to start a conversation. When you arrive, check in with a selfie so other attendees can recognize you. During the event, you can explore Glimpses shared by fellow attendees and receive Nudges that encourage real, face-to-face conversations. When you meet someone, exchange private PINs to add each other to your People I Met list. After the event, revisit the profiles of the people you met and choose who you’d like to stay connected with. When the interest is mutual, you can continue the conversation through in-app chat. Meetsivity is designed for invited attendees. You can only access an event when its organizer gives you that event’s unique code. Events cannot be browsed or discovered publicly in the app. Events are created and managed by organizers, and the Meetsivity attendee app is free to download and use.
