30+
Participant cohort
30–50 adults with enough diversity in roles,
goals and needs to create meaningful matching opportunities.
Run an InSync pilot
Test whether the right connections become visible.
Plan a controlled InSync pilot for 30–50 participants and measure relevance quality, activation, trust and event value.
Recommended first pilot
One room. 30–50 participants. A clear learning question.
The first pilot should be small enough to observe carefully and large enough to create a real distribution of relevant signals.
◎
One core experience
Use SyncField as the central interaction layer
rather than adding multiple event mechanics at once.
i
Explicit briefing
Participants understand visibility, signals, Wave,
staged disclosure and how feedback will be used.
↗
Learning report
Summarize interaction patterns, participant feedback,
technical observations and next calibration decisions.
What we measure
Not just “did people meet?”
The pilot should test whether InSync surfaces connections participants perceive as useful, whether those signals create action, and whether the experience increases event value without eroding trust.
✓
Relevance quality
Did surfaced signals feel meaningfully more relevant
than random interaction?
↗
Activation
Did participants act on signals through Waves,
accepts and real conversations?
🔒
Trust
Did anonymity, staged disclosure and local context
feel understandable and appropriate?
★
Event value
Did the experience help participants discover conversations
they believe they otherwise would have missed?
Why organizers should care
Networking quality can affect whether attendees return.
Freeman's 2025 survey found that 51% of attendees say successful networking makes them want to return to the event. That makes meaningful connection more than a nice-to-have engagement metric.
