Bizzabo Networking Solution
Bizzabo is an all-in-one event-planning solution designed to help organizers create business events of all types, including in-person, virtual, and hybrid events.
The Event Experience OS is an open platform that allows event experience leaders to manage events, engage audiences, activate communities, and deliver powerful business outcomes. The new platform is aimed at restoring aspects of human interaction and networking lost in the translation to the virtual world after Covid19.
My role: Lead designer of the Networking solution
Product objective
Enable event attendees to achieve their personal and professional networking goals by facilitating meaningful communication and connections at every event. Support them in managing and deepening these relationships before, during, and after the event.
The Challenges
Attendees in virtual meetings faced both practical and emotional challenges, including managing packed schedules, time zone conflicts, and balancing personal availability. Many were hesitant to connect, while organizers struggled with low engagement. Virtual fatigue added another barrier, further complicating the networking experience.
Virtual Communities: Attendees explore and connect with others who share similar interests,
professions, or locations, fostering targeted networking and meaningful relationships.
Networking solution
The scheduling tool supports virtual, hybrid, and in-person meetings, streamlining the process to address challenges like complex agendas, time zones, and varying availability. To overcome motivation gaps between organizers and attendees, I designed a user journey that guides attendees through an easy exploration of their networking goals and interests, encouraging them to connect confidently.
Scheduled Meetings: Attendees set availability and use AI-driven tools to book seamless 1:1 meetings during the event.
