Kako udeležence povezati že pred dogodkom: 5 idej, ki delujejo

October 13, 2026

Mreženje se ne začne, ko se odprejo vrata dogodka, ampak že veliko prej. Udeleženci, ki se spoznajo vnaprej, pridejo z znanimi obrazi, dogovorjenimi srečanji in jasno predstavo, koga želijo spoznati.

Prav mreženje je danes eden glavnih razlogov, da ljudje pridejo na poslovni dogodek. A če ga prepustimo naključju, se marsikdo celo dopoldne drži svoje skupine sodelavcev ali pa sam stoji ob kavomatu. Zato smo zbrali pet idej, ki so jih organizatorji po svetu že preizkusili in jih lahko prilagodite svojemu dogodku, ne glede na velikost ali orodja, ki jih uporabljate.

1. Ustvarite zaprt prostor za udeležence

Ljudje se veliko lažje odločijo za pogovor, če vedo, kdo bo na dogodku. Zaprto okolje, namenjeno samo udeležencem dogodka, kjer vidijo ime, podjetje, vlogo in interese drugih, spremeni naključno srečanje v načrtovano.


Kako to izvesti:

  • Ob prijavi vprašajte, ali se udeleženec strinja, da je viden drugim, in ga povabite v zaprto okolje, namenjeno izključno udeležencem dogodka, na katerega se prijavlja.
  • Spodbudite jih, da v tej aplikaciji/pogovoru/platformi dodajo nekaj besed o sebi in o tem, koga želijo spoznati.
  • Nekaj dni pred dogodkom jih povabite, da pregledajo seznam in se vnaprej dogovorijo za kavo ali kratek sestanek.


Na velikih sejmih in konferencah se tako vnaprej dogovori na stotine ali celo tisoče sestankov. Pri manjšem dogodku pa je dovolj že to, da vsak pride z dvema ali tremi imeni, ki jih želi spoznati.

2. Spodbudite pogovor pred dogodkom

Ko so udeleženci povezani, jim dajte razlog, da prve pogovore začnejo že tedne pred dogodkom. To je lahko skupina na LinkedInu, kanal v klepetalnici ali skupnost v aplikaciji dogodka.


Kako to izvesti:

  • Pogovore razdelite po temah in po praktičnih skupinah, na primer »prvič na dogodku«, »pridem sam« ali »bivam v istem hotelu«.
  • Nove teme odprite, ko se zanje zbere nekaj zainteresiranih, da pogovori ne ostanejo prazni.
  • Določite nekoga, ki pogovor spodbuja: postavi vprašanje dneva ali predstavi nove člane.

3. Poskrbite za novince

Za nekoga, ki na dogodek pride prvič in ne pozna nikogar, je prvi dan lahko precej zastrašujoč. Pomaga že to, da ima vsaj en znan obraz.


Kako to izvesti:

  • V prijavni obrazec dodajte možnost »prvič sem na dogodku in bi želel spoznati koga«.
  • Novinca povežite z izkušenim udeležencem iz podobne panoge in ju predstavite po e-pošti teden ali dva pred dogodkom.
  • Prvi dan pripravite kratko druženje, kjer se pari in novinci srečajo v živo.

4. Spoznajte njihove cilje že ob prijavi

Prijava je idealen trenutek, da izveste, zakaj nekdo prihaja. Nekaj kratkih vprašanj vam pove, koga s kom povezati in kako oblikovati druženje.


Kako to izvesti:

  • Dodajte dve ali tri izbirna vprašanja, na primer »Kaj želite na dogodku doseči?« (nove stranke, partnerstva, znanje, zaposlovanje).
  • Vprašanja naj bodo kratka in izbirna, da prijava ostane hitra.
  • Odgovore uporabite pri sedežnem redu, mizah po temah ob kosilu ali pri predlogih, koga spoznati.

5. Druženje pred uradnim začetkom

Kratko srečanje pred dogodkom razbije led, še preden se odprejo vrata. Lahko je spletno ali v živo, odvisno od tega, od kod prihajajo udeleženci.


Kako to izvesti:

  • Spletni »kick-off« nekaj dni prej: 30 do 60 minut za kratke predstavitve, praktične nasvete in vprašanja.
  • Ali neformalno druženje večer pred dogodkom, na primer welcome drink v bližini prizorišča.
  • Na koncu spodbudite udeležence, da se dogovorijo za prvo kavo na dogodku.

Ljudje pridejo zaradi ljudi

Ni treba uvesti vseh petih idej naenkrat. Izberite eno ali dve, ki se najbolje ujemata z vašim dogodkom, in ju preizkusite že pri naslednjem. Že majhen korak, na primer eno vprašanje v prijavi ali kratko druženje pred začetkom, lahko opazno spremeni vzdušje prvega dne.


Kratek kontrolni seznam za naslednji dogodek:

  • V prijavo dodajte vprašanje o ciljih udeležencev.
  • Udeležencem omogočite, da vidijo, kdo še pride.
  • Spodbudite prve pogovore vsaj dva tedna pred dogodkom.
  • Novincem ponudite buddyja ali dobrodošlico.
  • Načrtujte druženje pred uradnim začetkom.


Vsak odličen dogodek ima svojo točko srečanja. Z MeetPointom vam pomagamo, da se udeleženci povežejo pred dogodkom, med njim in po njem.

Net Zero Carbon Events: A united industry response to the climate change

By MeetPoint Blog Staff • January 31, 2024
Company MeetPoint is among 500+ organisations, supporting the Net Zero Carbon Event initiative. The Net Zero Carbon Events initiative, launched in 2021, is the events industry’s global campaign to achieve net zero carbon by 2050 at the latest, with an interim target in line with the Paris Agreement’s requirement to reduce global GHG emissions by 50% by 2030. In December 2023, the Net Zero Carbon Events published seven guidance documents to support the event industry in achieving its carbon emissions goals. The seven guidance documents can be downloaded for free here at this link for the following areas: Smart production and waste management Venue energy Logistics Food and food waste Travel and accommodation Carbon offsetting Measurement The Net Zero Carbon Events encourages collaboration with partners, suppliers and customers to drive change across the value chain. The complex value chain of events requires different industries to work together to integrate net zero approaches throughout each event’s lifecycle. Only with mutual collaboration of all stakeholders involved in event industry changes can be implemented and goals achieved. The Net Zero Carbon Events initiative focuses on bringing events themselves to net zero, in contrast to the current focus in industries of bringing organisations involved to net zero. According to the Net Zero Carbon Events initiative, progress in different action areas is asymmetric as some industries are more complex than others, or form part of more mature industries in terms of their decarbonisation plans. Therefore the goal of the initiative is to align progress amongst stakeholders. At Meetpoint, as event software solution provider, we develop our solutions with net zero carbon events in mind. Below you can find few options on how you can benefit from using event management software when trying to meet the net zero carbon by 2050. Photo credits: The cover photo is AI-generated.

How to Reduce an Environmental Impact of In-person Events?

By MeetPoint Blog Staff • October 24, 2023
In 2019, a research study on sustainability of conferences discovered that a three-day conference attended by 800 people resulted in the emission of 455 tons of carbon dioxide, equivalent to 100 gasoline-powered passenger vehicles driven for one year. Traveling, food waste, promotional materials, plenty of paper prints. The swag industry alone, valued at USD 64 billion , produces a wide range of cheap items such as USB sticks, power banks, water bottles, branded socks, pencils, stress balls. On the other hand, when event professionals are planning an event strategy based on environmental optimisation, they should also reconsider the social impact events have on people. People are social beings and therefore the in-person events are here to stay. After the COVID-19 pandemics ended, we have seen the social need people and businesses had during lockdowns and restrictions. Digital events are still organised, but in-person events are again in full swing. If in-person (and hybrid) events are here to stay, we need to change these events in a more sustainable way. Event professionals must plan in-person events which do less harm to the environment – use processes and materials which are as environment-friendly as possible.
