A conversation with Chris Messina, Inventor of the hashtag. #1 Product Hunter 🏆. Ever-curious product designer and technologist. Previously: Google, Uber, Startup Molly (YC W18).
We invite you to a virtual meeting in the Connect.Club mobile application (iOS and Android version). Here you can listen to the speaker, as well as find new useful contacts. The application space allows you to freely move around the virtual map and get to know each other by interest. After the speaker’s lecture, the creators of the application and the speaker invite everyone to stick around for Q&A in an informal atmosphere. After completing registration, you will receive an email with additional information on how to join the Connect.Club networking event on July 15.

Key Feature #1. A Future-Forward Virtual Cafe Open 24/7
Jump in to Connect.Club any time you want! It’s an entire virtual world filled with cool people to meet, and it lives in your pocket. Whether between work just for fun or during work with colleagues, Connect.Club can bring a sense of space, movement, and presence that is hard to find with traditional video or chat tools. We’ll be adding new open communities and cafes for you to join over time around important topics like education, science, human rights, technology, and entrepreneurship.
Key Feature #2. Interactive Conversations and Intuitive Networking Tools
There are so many ways to communicate in Connect.Club! Voice? Voice and Video? Chat? We even built a unique non-verbal gesturing system to emulate body language that benefits conversations enjoy in real life. No more talking over a bunch of people at once or wondering who wants to speak next. Want to keep in touch with someone new to follow up? Connect offers simple features to add new friends and message them any time to get together again in-app.
Key Feature #3. Engage Naturally with Large Groups
Some say the coolest feature about Connect.Club is that it uses video game mechanics to emulate spatial distance in a room or environment that we get in real life. This means that you can enjoy the energy and ambiance of up to 50 people while only hearing and seeing the few that are positioned near you. Just tap on the screen to move your avatar around! Visit new people and make real-time introductions, just like you would at a real-life event.
