In AI-powered matchmaking, attendees are matched with one another based on their previous activities and intent. It also takes into account the goals, designation, and title of the attendee.
Events are hotspots for data. AI computes this data and matches attendees according to their goals, interests, title, designation, and past activities. Since AI emulates human thinking, it tries its best to match people to improve audience engagement.
Why you need this? Simple, AI will sift through the noise and connect the right people within seconds. This, in turn, will boost networking, business objectives, and peer networking. If the attendee feels that the match is incorrect, they can request a re-match. AI takes in this insight and uses it to improve its matchmaking.
Using AI insights, you can also track your event attendance, understand the maximum engagement, and which resources are meeting the targets.

Automated webinars are pre-recorded webinars. These are not hosted live on any platform.
Webinars that are pre-recorded and played before a live audience is called an automated webinar.
