If you want to be well-informed and save time make the most of your network. That network is increasingly likely to be digital, with all the extra possibilities. The Dutch company Sossoon offers conference delegates the opportunity to set up an online social network prior to a conference or trade fair. Both easy to use and efficient. As with other social web 2.0 networks like LinkedIn and Hyves, users can ‘find’ one another on the Internet.

Exchanging ideas

Via the online platform users can exchange ideas, gather knowledge and make valuable contacts. And there is a conference registration service: participants can register through the network and prepay their conference fees. 

Continuous communication

As well, participants can contact one another before, during and after the event. An additional advantage is that the networks continue after the conference has ended. Further online discussions and news items posted on the network add value to the conference. Which benefits both participants and conference organisers. Participants can keep each other informed of market trends and future events, increasing the chance of their attending a following conference.

Saving time

Sossoon users choose words they define as interesting to create their own profile, which can then be found by other users. In addition, they can actively use a search profile to contact other users. The search result is presented visually. The size and distance between the objects clearly show which profile is the most valuable. And that saves time.
