Bizzabo, the operating system for event experiences, launches its new networking solution to help organizers provide the meaningful connections that participants increasingly demand at in-person events. This fully integrated suite addresses a growing industry challenge identified in Bizzabo’s State of Events 2025 report: while 72% of participants say in-person conferences offer the best networking opportunities, only 30% believe their last event provided enough of these opportunities.
That’s why providing valuable networking opportunities remains a priority for event organizers. The Bizzabo Networking solution integrates seamlessly with the company’s Event Experience OS, eliminating the need for separate networking tools while offering organizers a unified platform to manage all aspects of their events. When networking is integrated within Bizzabo’s Event Experience OS, it becomes an essential part of the event experience rather than a mere isolated add-on.
Its AI-enhanced matchmaking is powered by rich data throughout the participant journey. By leveraging dozens of data points, ranging from registration to content engagement and individual interests, Bizzabo’s matchmaking is more accurate than ever.
Alon Alroy, co-founder and CMO of Bizzabo, says: “Event organizers are facing a fundamental shift in what drives attendance. Content alone is no longer enough to fill the rooms — people come to build relationships.”
“Our integrated networking suite directly addresses this need by facilitating the creation of connections that participants desire, while maintaining operational efficiency. When networking becomes frictionless, everyone wins: participants forge meaningful connections, sponsors meet qualified prospects, and organizers see an increase in satisfaction scores and return rates.”
Bizzabo Networking launches with features such as data-rich matchmaking, seamless web and mobile scheduling, customizable location settings, and time-blocking capabilities that ensure participants don’t miss important sessions. Participants can find and meet the right people without changing apps, schedules remain synchronized, and organizers have a single reliable source for all interactions. It’s not just about eliminating logistical headaches; it’s about elevating networking to a strategic advantage — generating higher engagement, better ROI for events, and a more cohesive experience for all participants.

Why are meaningful connections essential at events?
In today’s world of in-person events, establishing meaningful connections has become a central issue. According to Bizzabo’s report on the state of events in 2025, 72% of participants believe that in-person conferences provide the best networking opportunities. However, only 30% of them felt that their last event allowed them to make enough relevant contacts. This disparity highlights a major challenge for organizers: how to meet the high expectations of participants regarding networking.
Participants no longer come merely to attend conferences or workshops; they primarily seek to expand their professional networks and to establish lasting relationships. These connections can be crucial for their career development, generating new business opportunities, or even collaborating on future projects. Consequently, event organizers must prioritize networking as a key element of the overall experience.
Furthermore, a strong network contributes to increasing overall participant satisfaction and fosters their retention. Events that effectively facilitate networking often see a rise in return rates and a better reputation within the industry. Thus, meeting this growing need for relevant connections is not only beneficial for participants but also for the long-term success of the event.
