Signature Boston
Based in Paris, France, Swapcard is an event matchmaking platform powered by artificial intelligence. Swapcard’s platform released new virtual features that were created in a matter of weeks by the team in order to keep up with the industry’s transition to virtual.
Due to the COVID-19 global pandemic, Global Industrie, one of France’s largest exhibition events, decided to turn their in-person event to a virtual offering for their attendees. As this was Global Industrie’s first time going virtual, they trusted Swapcard to build their digital platform. The event incorporated Swapcard’s virtual features into their platform, notably:
Using the Swapcard platform, Global Industrie had over 4,100 active users during their four-day event. Over 700 users made more than one connection with a new networking contact. Almost 12,300 messages were exchanged in group or private chats. Nearly 1,400 new connections were forged online. Over 1,000 exhibiting team members and exhibitor products were bookmarked by attendees for later reference. Over 4,100 exhibiting team members and exhibitor products were bookmarked by attendees for later reference.
Swapcard plans to continue making improvements related to networking and meetings, with the goal of increasing the number of meaningful encounters during events.

Swapcard plans to expand the development of their marketplace and integrations with other platforms to reduce restrictions on to their clients.
