Getting Started: Your Journey to Better Connections
Joining Your Community
You'll receive an invitation link from your event host or community facilitator. This isn't a public platform - you're joining a curated community.
- Click the invitation link
- Create your account with email and password
- You're now part of a professional community!
Pro Tip: EventIntro communities are private and focused. You're here because someone saw value in connecting you with this specific group of professionals.
Complete Your Profile Setup
Your profile is the foundation of great connections. EventIntro's AI uses this information to find your perfect matches.
- Add your professional photo
- Complete the 5-question survey thoughtfully
- List skills you can offer to others
- Describe what you're seeking or wanting to learn
- Add your current goals and challenges
Important: The more authentic and detailed your profile, the better your matches will be. Don't just list what you think people want to see - be genuine about your goals and offerings.
Understanding the 5-Question Survey
These questions might seem simple, but they're powerful. Here's how to answer them effectively:
- "What are you working on?" - Be specific about projects, challenges, or initiatives
- "What could you help others with?" - Think beyond your job title - include skills, experiences, and knowledge
- "What would you like help with?" - Be honest about gaps or areas where you'd value input
- "What interests you professionally?" - Include emerging trends, methodologies, or areas you're curious about
- "Anything else to share?" - Add personality, unique experiences, or specific connection goals
How AI Matching Works (Behind the Scenes)
EventIntro's AI doesn't just match similar people - it creates complementary connections where both parties benefit.
- The system analyzes what you offer vs. what others need
- It identifies mutual learning opportunities
- It considers personality compatibility and communication styles
- It generates specific conversation topics for each match
Why this works: Instead of talking to people just like you, you'll meet people who can actually help you grow and whom you can help in return.

Common Questions & Troubleshooting
About Your Matches
Q: What if I don't think my matches are relevant?
The AI gets better with feedback. If matches aren't working, update your profile with more specific information about your goals and offerings.
Q: Can I request specific people to meet?
EventIntro focuses on AI-optimized matches, but you can always connect with other community members through the general chat or by asking your facilitator.
About Conversations
Q: What if someone doesn't seem interested in talking?
Not every match will lead to a deep connection, and that's okay. Focus on the connections that feel mutual and energizing.
Q: How long should each conversation be?
Most EventIntro conversations last 15-25 minutes, but follow natural conversation flow rather than watching the clock.
About Privacy
Q: Who can see my profile information?
Only other members of your specific community or event can see your profile. EventIntro communities are private and invitation-only.
Q: Can I control what information is shared?
Yes, you have full control over your profile information and can edit or remove details at any time.
