Side Events

Side Events Your Attendees Organise and Join

mySEO lets attendees organise and join their own side events around your conference.

Your agenda covers the conference. Side events are for everything around it. Attendees can set up their own lunch, a meetup the day before or drinks after the last talk, and other attendees can join them.

Organise a side event…Create

The problem

The best connections happen around the conference

Ask attendees what they valued most and many will name the people they met. Those connections usually happen over lunch, at a meetup the night before or over drinks afterwards. Without one place to share and join these plans, they end up in group chats that most attendees never see.

How it works

How Side Events Works in mySEO

An attendee sets one up

A lunch, a meetup the day before, drinks after the conference: anyone can organise one.

Other attendees join

Side events show up in the mySEO app, and anyone at the conference can join.

People meet

Attendees build relationships outside the sessions, on their own terms.

Organised and joined by attendees

Attendees set up their own plans and join each other's. Nothing extra for you to arrange.

Separate from your agenda

Your official agenda stays clean. Side events sit alongside it.

Before, during and after

The day before, a lunch break or once the last talk finishes.

Reasons to come back

People return to see the people they met last year.

FAQ's

Side Events in mySEO: Questions

What are side events in mySEO?

mySEO lets attendees organise and join their own side events around your conference. Your agenda covers the conference. Side events are for everything around it. Attendees can set up their own lunch, a meetup the day before or drinks after the last talk, and other attendees can join them.

Who sets up side events?

Mainly your attendees. They can organise their own side events, like a lunch, a meetup the day before or drinks after the conference. You can add them too.

Can other attendees join a side event?

Yes. Attendees can see the side events other people have set up and join them in the app.

How are side events different from the agenda?

The agenda is the official programme you set up as the organiser. Side events are informal plans that attendees make around it.

Why does this matter to organisers?

Side events are where attendees build relationships. People who have made connections at your conference have more reason to come back next year.
