Product update: the best Conversation Starter ever

Conversation Starter is a networking tool for business events. We’re continuously working to improve our solution, driven by the loving feedback from many happy users.

Three new features have recently been added to Conversation Starter.
The result: the best Conversation Starter ever. 😉

🕒 Agenda: know what’s going on

Attendees can now see the schedule of speakers and other activities during the event right inside Conversation Starter.

The Agenda tab combines both meetings with other attendees and the schedule of speakers and other activities.

📝 Feedback: share your thoughts

How do you understand how well the event solution you’re building is working? Definitely not by sitting in an office far away from events! That’s why we regularly visit events and use Conversation Starter ourselves to plan meetings.

However, with Conversation Starter being used at increasingly diverse and international events, we needed a more structural way to gather feedback. The new feedback feature enables us to do exactly that: gather feedback from event attendees and channel it into our product backlog and to the event organiser. 🤓

🔒 Improved security and privacy

As you’re probably aware the GDPR became enforceable this May. We are very positive about this new regulation and are happy to take it a step further with several additional product improvements to protect the privacy of users:

• Guest lists of events are automatically and definitively removed from our database 30 days after the event ended.
• Immediately after the event, the guest list and phone numbers of connections are no longer available to the attendee.
• Information sent to analytical services such as Mixpanel is anonymised.
• Events are no longer indexed by search engines such as Google.

Minor changes

As product manager of Conversation Starter I am sometimes most excited by the small changes in our product. Small things that most people don’t notice but make the user experience just a little bit better. 😊

• A new dashboard where the user can view all upcoming and past events she or he participated in.
• A smarter algorithm to assign meeting points to meetings.
• More customisation of the in-app text to better suit the unique needs of different event organisers.
• Improved source code architecture and upgraded infrastructure that lay the foundation for future features and improve the speed of Conversation Starter.
