Turn the coffee break into the best part of your conference

Attendees come to learn and to connect. The second part usually fails. Afín fixes it without changing your event format.

The problem

What you already know happens

The phone syndrome

Nobody wants to stand around looking lost. The phone is the perfect excuse not to make the first move.

Name badges say nothing

"Pedro García, Manager" doesn't say if Pedro is looking for suppliers, clients or a new position. Blind networking is inefficient.

Interrupting the speaker

The attendee who wants to talk to the speaker doesn't know if they're interrupting. The speaker doesn't know there's someone in the room who needs exactly what they know.

The solution

How it works at your event

  1. QR in the welcome presentationAttendees scan on arrival or during the first break. They fill in their profile in 30 seconds: role, interests, what they're looking for.
  2. Matches appear before the coffee breakEach attendee already knows who to look for when the break starts. The conversation has a reason and context.
  3. The wave breaks the ice digitallyA "👋" in the app before the real conversation. If the other person accepts, both see the contact. The first move is already made.
A typical moment
The attendee looking for mentorship finds the speaker who is willing to give it. Without interrupting, without intruding, without awkwardness.

The conversation happens during the event, not months later on LinkedIn.

After the event
