Bring NexusG8 to your event

For event organisers and expos

One scan. Everyone in the room wins.

You get a first of its kind view of everyone at your event, and a way to serve them all year. Your vendors get a gateway to every attendee who walks past, and never lose a contact again. Your guests take the whole room home. And every one of them leaves with an identity and a page of their own.

What the room shows: skills, goals, business types, interests, and who should meet whom. Never an email, never a phone number. Contact details move only when a person chooses to share them.

01 · The beginning of the show

It starts at the front door.

Before anyone reaches a stage or a table, your hall’s own Nexus Gate greets them. One scan gives every attendee an identity, a page of their own, and every vendor and like-minded person in the hall, and from that moment everything they scan stays with them.

02 · For the vendors

A gateway to every attendee. A sales channel on every table.

Every attendee who walks past is one tap from becoming a customer. A visitor taps the Nexus Gate on the table, and the two of them swap contacts on the spot. The vendor never loses a potential contact again, and turns the busiest day of their year into the start of a pipeline.

  • Swap contact first: the visitor’s card arrives with every tap they choose to share
  • Each one lands in their leads, with a note of what the visitor liked
  • A follow-up email goes out that evening, by itself
  • The whole list exports as a spreadsheet, into their own CRM
  • A Shop Box to sell from their page, with the pay-safely notice
  • Visitors find them again: the vendor is in every visitor’s People

A table without NexusG8

  • A bowl of business cards, half of them illegible
  • A clipboard sign-up sheet nobody types up
  • Hundreds of conversations, no way back to them
  • Follow-ups sent a week late, if at all

A table with a Nexus Gate

  • Every visitor who chooses to share, in their leads
  • A note on each: what they asked about, what they liked
  • A follow-up that evening, while they still remember
  • A list they own and export, ready to sell to

Sharing is always the visitor’s choice, which is exactly why visitors trust the gate. A lead that chose to be followed up is a lead that answers.

03 · Tap to connect

One tap, and two strangers have each other.

A guest taps their NexusG8 card on someone’s phone, or scans their code, and the two swap cards on the spot. No app, no typing, no spelling a handle over the noise of the hall.

  • Works with a NexusG8 NFC card or any phone’s camera
  • Each person chooses exactly what their card shares
  • Saved in People with where and when they met
  • A follow-up goes out that evening, by itself

04 · Every room has a door

Every breakout room gets its own gate.

A session, a talk or a dinner gets a sign at its door. Guests scan in, and the room becomes a list they keep: who was there, and who they should meet from it. Here, The Muslim Collective hosts Unity in Islam in Ballroom B.

  • Each session is its own event, with its own check-in
  • The host of the session sees who came, and can reach them again
  • The people who sat in the room together stay connected after it

05 · One scan, three sides

The same scan does three different jobs.

Most event tools serve one of these people. NexusG8 serves all three from the same moment at the door, which is why each of them has a reason to say yes.

You, the organiser

A first of its kind view of your whole base.

Who came, what they do, what they are looking for and who should meet whom, on one screen, with a way to reach every one of them long after the day.

Your vendors

A gateway to every attendee.

A Nexus Gate on the table. Every visitor who taps and chooses to share lands in their leads, so no potential customer is ever lost to a business card or a busy moment.

Your guests

They take all of it home.

Every room they were in, every vendor they visited, everyone they met and everyone they should have met, kept in their pocket for good.

And every one of them, organiser, vendor and guest, leaves with an identity and a page of their own.

06 · Before, during and after

Your event, in three stages. The first one starts now.

NexusG8 is not only for the day. It works from the moment your event goes live on it, which is why the sooner it is set up, the more your guests and vendors arrive already connected.

1 · Before

Your event stays where it already lives.

  • Nothing has to change. Your tickets, your ticketing site and your mailing list stay exactly as they are.
  • Add one link, your event’s page on NexusG8, wherever you already promote the event.
  • Everyone who clicks through presses I’m going or Interested, and makes their NexusG8 in about a minute, with no app. You watch the interest build before the doors open, and they see who they should meet there.

2 · The day of

Signed up already? One scan and they are in.

  • Guests who signed up beforehand scan the Nexus Gate at the door, or type a four-letter code, and they are checked in instantly.
  • Anyone new makes their NexusG8 right there, in about a minute.
  • Your team sees who is in, who said they were coming and who is new, live, and can add anyone by hand.

3 · After

Then the room is theirs to keep.

  • Every guest who checked in gets the room: everyone who was there and chose to be seen, and who they should meet, with the reason why.
  • The vendors they swapped with and the people they connected with stay in their pocket, with follow-ups already on their way.
  • Months later, their card still says you were both there. That is the line that starts the conversation.

Set it up early. Everything in Before begins the day your event’s Community Nexus goes live. Every week it is up before the doors open is a week of guests finding each other, and vendors being found.

Start before your event

07 · The story

The best conversation of your event still ends when the lights come up.

You spend a year bringing the right people into one room. Then the day ends, and nearly everything that happened between them walks out of the door with no way back. Your vendors leave with a pile of compliments. Your guests leave with a pocket of paper.

01

A handle misheard over the noise

Spelled out twice in a crowded hall, typed wrong once, never found again.

02

A business card in a coat pocket

Found a month later, by which time nobody remembers why it mattered.

03

A follow-up nobody sent

Everyone meant to. The week started, and the moment passed.

An event is a community for a day. NexusG8 makes it a community for good.

08 · 9:50 AM, after the opening keynote

One moment. The whole room.

Your host asks everyone to scan the screen. Two minutes later the room has checked in, and you know who is here. So does everyone else, and so does the matching.

What one scan does for a guest

Thirty seconds at the door. A network for life.

1

They scan

Your event’s Community Nexus opens. Follow for every update, or ask to join your community.

2

They have a card

Their own Contact Card, made in the time it takes to find a seat. They choose what it shares.

3

They see who to meet

Who can help them, who they can help, and what they share, from everyone checked in.

4

They keep everyone

Every Connect is saved with where they met. The next morning, the whole day is in People.

09 · Take the room with you

The event ends. The room stays.

This is the part nobody else gives your guests. Every room they sat in comes home with them, with everyone in it, and stays with them from then on.

  1. 1

    Every room they were in

    The main hall, each breakout, the expo floor, their table at the gala: each one a list they keep, of everyone who checked in and chose to be seen.

  2. 2

    Who they should have met

    In three colors: who can help them, who they can help, and what they share. Missed someone in Room B? They are one tap away tomorrow.

  3. 3

    Everyone they did meet

    Saved in People with where and when they met, a note, and a follow-up that goes by itself.

  4. 4

    A head start next year

    They walk into your next event already knowing people, and the matching keeps working as more people join.

A business card is one person, for a week. A room is everyone, for good.

10 · Four people, one scan

Every one of them leaves with an identity of their own.

The organiser, the speakers, the vendors and every guest. Each gets something that works on the day and keeps working after it, which is why the answer is yes.

You, the organiser

A Community Nexus and a Command Center for your whole community.

On the day
One code at the door and on every badge. Check-ins, connections and requests, live.
After
Every guest still reachable. Next year’s event starts with a room that already knows each other.

Your speakers

Their own NexusG8: a card, a page, and an audience that does not end with the panel.

On the day
Their name on the agenda opens their page. The room follows them.
After
The people who heard them are theirs to keep in touch with.

Every vendor

A Contact Card, a Home Page and a Nexus Gate for the table.

On the day
Every visitor who taps and chooses to share lands in their leads. No clipboard, no sign-up sheet.
After
A follow-up goes that evening. The list exports to their own tools.

Every guest

Their own NexusG8, free for good: one address for them, their life and their work.

On the day
Who to meet in the room, and Connect in one tap with anyone checked in.
After
The day, and everyone in it, in their pocket. Nothing to lose.

11 · Your day, on your agenda

A convention of 900, hour by hour, room by room.

Nothing about your program changes. This is what each room can do, and what every person in it takes home. An example day: the rooms and numbers are an illustration.

    The lights come up. Everyone leaves with the whole room in their pocket.

Every room on this list stays with everyone who was in it. A guest who sat in the main hall, Room B, the expo floor and table 12 at the gala goes home with all four rooms: who was there, who they should meet, and everyone they met.

12 · It has already worked

One weekend, one room, measured.

At a creators’ summit in Texas, guests scanned in, made their own NexusG8 and put their name tag up in the room. NexusG8 mapped who could help whom. Every figure below is counted from the platform’s own records for that weekend.

22new accounts made over one weekend
37people with their name tag up in the room
252reasons to meet, found for them
193routes where one person could give exactly what another asked for

13 · What you see

The night after, the whole room on one screen.

Your Command Center shows who came, who met whom, who asked to join and who follows you. Then it lets you reach all of them.

  • Check-ins and connections made, live through the day
  • Requests to join, each one yours to answer
  • Who should meet whom tonight, from the people in the room
  • One broadcast to everyone who came, by push and email
  • For sponsors: how many were reached, never who

For your sponsors

Your sponsorship deck promises visibility beyond the day. Now there is a channel that delivers it, and figures to show for it.

Your membership, all year

Your sign-up form, as a door.

Every question on your registration or membership form already has a place in NexusG8, and the answers stop being rows in a spreadsheet. They become people who can find each other.

Your form asksNexusG8 already does

Name, title, company and website

Their Contact Card and Home Page. Written once, kept current by them, never retyped into a form again.

What are you looking for? What can you offer?

Looking for and Can offer, from one shared vocabulary, so the right two people are shown to each other.

Industry, profession, interests

Skills and interests in the same words for everyone, so a founder in Dallas and an investor in Chicago find each other.

Why do you want to join?

Who you should meet, in three colors: who can help you, who you can help, and what you share.

Which workshops or meetups will you attend?

Events inside the community, with RSVP, check-in and the people in the room.

“We review every application”

Ask to join. Every request is read by a steward, who decides. Nobody is let in by a form.

The event is the day. Your community is the year. The door is the same.

Their data, your community

Built so a community can trust it.

No emails, no phone numbers

What people see of each other is skills, goals, business types, interests and why they should meet. Contact details move only when a person chooses to share them.

Every guest owns their card

They choose what it shares, and can take it back. Their NexusG8 is theirs, wherever they go next.

You own your community

The door, the roster and the record are yours. Your stewards decide who comes in.

Nobody is the product

No ads, nothing sold. A sponsor sees how many, never a name, an email or a phone.

14 · The campaign on your floor

Six banners. One reason to scan on every one.

We bring the creative. Every banner speaks to something your guests already feel at an event, and every one ends in the same place: a code that gives them their own NexusG8, free, with no app.

The event in three screens

Put it on the screens at the door. That is the whole setup.

Three screens rotate on any TV or totem at your entrance. They tell a guest exactly what to do, why it matters, and what they walk out holding, and the code inside the gate checks them in.

Event screen one: Tonight, Scan in, Keep everyone you meet tonight, No app, no sign up, two seconds, with the code inside the gate
01 · Scan inThe instruction, and the code at its largest. No app, no sign up, two seconds.
Event screen two: You will meet 12 people tonight, you will remember 2, Unless you scan
02 · Unless you scanWhat everybody privately knows about a room full of strangers, and the fix underneath it.
Event screen three: Take the room home with you, everyone who was here, who you should meet, your own address free for life
03 · Take the room homeWhat they walk out holding: everyone who was there, who to meet, and an address of their own.

For event apps & ticketing platforms

We are not your competitor. We are your audience.

Keep your ticketing. NexusG8 is not an event platform and will never sell a ticket. We are the layer your app was never going to build: the community around the event, before, during and after it. Event Platform Partners keep the ticket, the payment, the data they collect and their brand, and gain reach they could not buy.

Event Platform Partners

Your events, in front of every community they belong to

  • Registration stays yours, shown on every event as Powered by your app, linking straight to your checkout.
  • Your events appear on the Nexus of each community, venue and business that hosts them, and reach the people who follow it.
  • Every event is tied to a real place: the venue’s Nexus, the business that sponsors it, the community card that brings the crowd.
  • Check in, who should meet whom and Met at sit on top of your ticket, so your organizers get the room as well as the sale.

Community organizers

Run the night, keep the people

  • Create the event on your Community Nexus, free, and link it to wherever the tickets are sold.
  • One code at the door checks guests in and shows each one three people to meet.
  • Tonight’s pairs on your screen, and one reminder to everyone still on their way.
  • Everyone who came is reachable afterwards, for the follow up, the recording and next year.

Each Event Platform Partner joins under a written agreement. We never sell tickets, never take a cut of yours, and only ever share events their community has made public.

For investors

Why this is a distribution engine, not a booth.

One event, three customers

The organiser gets a community, every vendor gets a sales channel, and every guest gets their own NexusG8. Each of them has a reason to bring the next one.

Every room makes the next one bigger

Someone who joins in Chicago is matched with someone who joined in Toronto or at a community meetup in Dallas. More people means better matches, which is why the next person joins.

Distribution organisers invite in

Events already gather the people. We arrive with something the organiser could never offer before, so the door opens rather than being bought.
