I think this is a space where a lot of value can be added to conferences. For The Next Web Conference we looked at all the players in the market and nobody offered what we were looking for. We will definitely use a social network for all our future events, but it will most likely not be Eventvue, IntroNetworks, or Affinity Circles... this time a yet to launch European startup I’m looking forward to see their product.

It's great to be able to connect with people before the event, put a name to a face, and then jump right into chatting when you run into them in the halls. Our simple roll-your-own social networks work great if you want to set it up yourself. That's what BarCampBlock did: http://barcampblock.crowdvine.com We also do a custom package where we integrate with your site and design, bring out a social calendaring feature (icalico), import data and attendees, and provide a community manager to help facilitate. Latest one is Future of Web Appps: http://fowa.crowdvine.com I don't know why anyone would want to be well-funded to do this, or funded at all. I built the software while supporting myself with contract work. Now we're three people in order to keep up with demand. We (CrowdVine) have put together a social network package for conferences.

If you're a conference organizer, we also work on your behalf to drive more registrations to your conference. We use the natural friendships and connections made at a conference to help promote the conference to your attendees network or dare I say it "social graph". EventVue builds an online community for your attendees and works to help it grow. @bala: You're right -- our most common feedback from our users has been resistance to creating a new profile on yet another social networking site. We don't much like it either so we're working on being able to draw in content from existing profiles around the web. Thanks for your goodwill wishes. Thanks for the writeup Nick!

Confabb’s global reach also puts you within a click or two of potential leads, audiences or fellow enthusiasts. We’re the largest conference search site on the web (currently tracking 48,278 conferences), and our users span just about every industry, profession, event and vocation. Additionally, we do in fact now offer many of the latest Social Networking tools http://blog.confabb.com/?p=43 - which really allow you to bring the "hallway conversations" online and into lasting relationships.

They are more heavily financed than Confabb (and EventVue judging by the amount mentioned in the post). Being a social network "customized" for a specific event means it will get much more attention from event goers as it will be marketed by the event organizer. Crowded space, however.

And the investment/advisory team looks solid. I met Wendy at a TIE breakfast a few weeks back and she's a born marketeer.

Making connections at conventions and events has survived as a top way to network without a service like this. It makes me wonder what kind of professionals are really going to use it?
