Turn on attendee networking — profiles, an in-app directory, AI-powered matches with reasons, and one-on-one meetings with reminders.
Link is your event's networking and matchmaking module. It lets attendees create a networking profile, browse who else is coming, get AI-suggested matches based on what each person is looking for, and request one-on-one meetings — all inside Gythr Here, the same app they use for their ticket and schedule.
You manage it from the Link module on your dashboard, under "Grow the Event." Attendees experience it from the Networking area of your event in Gythr Here.
Pro tip
Networking is opt-in for attendees: a profile only appears to others once the attendee creates one and leaves it visible. You never create profiles on their behalf.
From your event in Gythr Here, an attendee opens Networking and creates a profile. A profile carries a headline, a short bio, their interests (interest tags), what they're looking for (hiring, fundraising, mentoring, collaborating, and so on), and optional LinkedIn and website links.
Each attendee controls a visibility toggle. When it's on, they appear in the attendee directory and are eligible for matches. When it's off, they're hidden. From the networking hub they can jump to Browse Directory, Your Matches, and Your Meetings.
Open Link → Networking Profiles to see everyone who has opted in, with their headline, interests, what they're looking for, and whether they're visible. A stat bar up top shows your total registrations, how many have built a profile, and your opt-in rate.
Link → Interest Tags is where you curate the tag library attendees pick from when describing their interests. Add tags one at a time, or use Bulk add to paste a whole list at once, and group them with an optional category. A strong tag library makes matches sharper.
The directory is the in-app, members-only list of attendees who have made their profile visible. It's not public on the open internet — only people signed in to your event in Gythr Here can see it.
Attendees can search by name or headline and filter by interest tag to find the right people, then open a profile to read the full bio, interests, and links — and request a meeting right from there.
Open Link → Match Dashboard and click Generate Matches. Gythr's AI reads every opted-in profile and pairs people by complementarity and intent — an investor with a founder, someone hiring with someone job-seeking, a mentor with a mentee — not just by shared tags.
Every match comes with a score (0 to 100), a short "why you should meet" reason grounded in both profiles, and a match type (complementary, shared goal, peer, or mentor). Attendees see their own matches under Networking → Your Matches, where they can accept, dismiss, or request a meeting. Re-running keeps any matches people already accepted or dismissed and refreshes the rest.
Pro tip
Want matches tailored to a specific networking moment — an investor mixer, a mentor hour, a founder meetup? That's what Match Campaigns are for. See the 'Match Campaigns' article.
From a match or a directory profile, an attendee can Request meeting — with an optional message, a proposed time, a duration, and a location. The recipient gets a push notification and can accept or decline; when they accept, the requester is notified back.
Accepted meetings show up on the attendee's event schedule alongside sessions, export to their calendar, and are factored into schedule conflict warnings. Roughly fifteen minutes before a meeting starts, both people get a reminder. You can watch the whole picture from Link → Meetings: how many were requested, confirmed, and declined.
Important
Push notifications reach attendees who have enabled notifications for your event in Gythr Here. Those who haven't will still see every request, match, and meeting in the app — they just won't get the pop-up.
