Speed Networking

Turn a large webinar audience into a sequence of focused one-to-one conversations. Airmeet’s Serendipity Session matches available participants for a host-defined time, supports contact exchange in chat, and moves participants to the next available match.

Show prospects the moment a large audience becomes personal

Webinars and events create reach. They do not automatically create relationships. Attendees can consume an excellent session and still leave without meeting a peer, expert, partner, or potential buyer. Open networking spaces can feel uncertain, while manual introductions do not scale.
The result is a high-attendance event with too few relevant conversations and weak context for follow-up. Marketing implication: without a designed interaction moment, audience size can remain a vanity metric instead of becoming a source of qualified human connection.

Give every networking minute a clear job

Speed Networking creates a repeatable connection loop: participants join, Airmeet pairs them with the next available person, each pair meets within the organizer-defined duration, the final 30 seconds are clearly signaled, and chat supports contact exchange before the next match.

Step-by-step process

Step 1. Create a Speed Networking session

From the Event Dashboard, navigate to Sessions and create a new Serendipity Session (Speed Networking). Enter the session title, schedule, and networking duration. 

Step 2. Configure networking settings

Choose the duration for each one-to-one conversation. On eligible plans, you can also configure participant matching rules based on supported categories such as ticket type, registration fields, or user type.

Step 3. Publish the session

Save the configuration and publish the Speed Networking session as part of your event agenda. Participants will see the networking session when it becomes available.

Step 4. Start the networking session

When the scheduled time arrives, the organizer starts the Speed Networking session. Participants can then join from the event schedule or networking area, depending on the event format.

Step 5. Participants are automatically matched

Airmeet automatically pairs each participant with another available attendee for a one-to-one conversation. During the conversation, participants can –

– Enable camera and microphone.
– Chat with each other.
– Exchange information.
– Discuss shared interests or business topics.

Step 6. Continue networking

As the conversation approaches its end, Airmeet displays a 30-second countdown. When the timer expires, participants are automatically matched with another available attendee, allowing multiple networking conversations during a single session.
