// why matchmaking breaks down

Thousands of attendees, and the right two people still never meet.

Manual matchmaking doesn't scale

A handful of curated meetings is great — but no team can hand-match thousands of attendees with any consistency.

Low-intent, wasted slots

Attendees get matched on job title alone and meet people they'd never buy from — calendars full, ROI empty.

Scheduling chaos

Double-bookings, time-zone mix-ups, and back-and-forth email threads just to lock a single 20-minute slot.

No-shows kill the value

Up to a third of booked meetings evaporate with no reminders, no confirmations, and no quick rebooking.

Project & 1-to-1 in silos

Sourcing-style project meetings and classic 1-to-1s live in separate tools that never share a profile.

No proof of meeting quality

You can report headcount, but exhibitors and sponsors want to know the meetings actually mattered.

// the capabilities

Six agents that fill the floor with the right meetings

Each one owns a slice of matchmaking — from reading intent to confirming the slot — and reports back to you in plain language.

intent agent

Intent scoring

Reads goals, profiles, behaviour and enriched firmographics to score how likely any two attendees are to do business.

Before and after mytradeshow.ai

Before: a crowded room, few real meetings

  • Attendees scroll an endless directory and message the wrong people.
  • Your team hand-matches VIPs and leaves everyone else to chance.
  • No-shows and double-bookings waste a third of the booked slots.
  • Sponsors ask "how did it go?" and you can only count badges.

After: a floor that runs on high-fit meetings

  • Every attendee gets a ranked shortlist of who's worth meeting.
  • Meetings book and confirm themselves across time zones.
  • Reminders and backfills keep no-shows from wasting slots.
  • Meeting-quality dashboards prove ROI to every sponsor.
// how we beat the competition

Most tools give attendees a directory. We give them the meeting.

Our attendees stopped scrolling and started meeting.

“The agent reads who actually wants to do business and just books it. Acceptance is up, no-shows are down, and for the first time I can hand a sponsor a real report on meeting quality — not a badge count.”
