Attendee Recommendations

Attendee Recommendations

Attendee Recommendations suggest other attendees to connect with based on mutual interests, matched to their professional background and event participation. Sidekick is essentially doing the work of a good conference matchmaker, without asking your team to play matchmaker for hundreds or thousands of people.

For attendees, meeting the right person at an event usually comes down to luck, but Attendee Recommendations replace luck with relevance. Instead of wandering the expo floor hoping to run into someone worth talking to, Sidekick surfaces it directly by finding matches between attendees, using each attendee's professional background, interests, and event participation to make a valuable match.

Example: "You and Priya are both in fintech, and you both came from the security track. Want an intro?"

For organizers, networking is one of the top reasons people attend events in the first place, and it's the hardest thing to deliver at scale. You can't personally introduce 2,000 attendees to each other, but Sidekick can by creating real networking value delivered automatically, not something your team has to manage attendee by attendee.

Creating your Attendee Recommendations

A Feed Item Name is the name of the feed item as it appears in Amego Admin and identifies which recommendation type you're configuring. It will already be determined based on the selected recommended feed item, and it cannot be edited. 

Your Sidekick Text is the message attendees see in their feed, and it can be personalized. Write it the way you'd want Sidekick to say it out loud: short, clear, and specific to what the attendee is about to see.

Once you have determined your text, you will determine the actions attached to your feed item. For more information on Actions, please consult Actions Article.

Next, choose your audience. For more information on Audience groups, please consult Audience Groups.

Finally, choose your timing for when you want this alert to enter the attendees’ feeds. You can set multiple schedules to act as reminders for certain times before events, for events that happen on multiple days, or other reminders. For more information on timing, please consult Scheduling.
