Get started
Sponsors love measurable results. With Conversation Starter, participants can book meetings directly with your sponsors: driving traffic to their booth and generating qualified leads.
And it works both ways: when sponsors reach out to participants, over 60% of their meeting invites get accepted. That's the power of a networking context: people actually want to talk.
Add several prominent spots for sponsor branding in the app, and your sponsorship packages become more valuable and easier to sell.
Absolutely! Alongside networking, Conversation Starter can show your full programme: speaker schedule, session sign-ups, and more. One solution for the whole event.
Very! You can match Conversation Starter to your event's look and feel: your logo, colours, and domain. On the functionality side, we can adapt matchmaking rules, profile fields, and more to fit your format.
Get in touch at info@conversationstarter.net and we'll work it out together.
Conversation Starter is available in English, Dutch, French and German.
Need another language? We can add it, usually within a month.

It depends on your event. For pure matchmaking events (think buyer/seller or investor/startup), 50 participants is enough.
For more general events where 1:1 meetings are just part of the programme, we recommend 100 participants or more.
Conversation Starter scales up to 5000 participants, and works for any format: a few hours of networking, a full day, or a multi-day conference.
You control who gets in. Events can be protected with a password or restricted to a guestlist, so only invited participants can join. Your event also won't show up in search engines.
As per GDPR guidelines, Conversation Starter has been designed with a privacy-first approach. No user data is stored without consent, and participants can view, update and delete their own data at any time.
More details in our privacy policy.
And if you want to go further: after your event, we can send you a full export of your data and then permanently remove all of it from our databases. You keep everything, we keep nothing.
Yes! We believe connecting people can change the world. Please get in touch with us at info@conversationstarter.net.
No! Conversation Starter works inside the web browser: nothing to download or install.
That's a deliberate choice. Many people skip the networking when they have to install an app first, especially for a one-day event.
Conversation Starter simply texts participants a link when the event starts, and they're in with one click. More participants, more meetings.
To join the networking for your event, go to events.conversationstarter.net and log in with the email address you registered with.
No download needed: Conversation Starter runs right in your browser, on desktop and mobile.
