1st Draft 30 Second Pitch

We're coding as fast as we can! 

In the meantime...

[WIP] Conekt.Me helps you find and connect to the people you want to meet at conferences. It also helps attendees find you. Login using your mobile, browse using key words and make contact with a direct message - Simple as that! Conekt.Me will be used before, during and after conferences - each in subtly different ways...

Before: Establishing rapport and identifying desirable connections.

During: Find desirable connections in your vicinity (Conekt.Me “live” through check-ins)

After: Reconnecting with attendees.

Conferences and trade shows are a $100bn/yr industry in the US. As a networking utility, Conekt.Me adds value to attendee experience by reducing time “wasted” through mismatch. If you’ve ever had a string of faux-conversations at a cocktail mixer you'll know exactly we’re talking about. Though a stand-alone product, we see definite potential for partnerships and strategic alliances with conferences organisers (SxSW & Web 2.0) and registration sites (Eventbrite and Meetup) We know you’re keen to get started - we’re building as fast as we can!
