Ask any delegate where the value of a conference came from and they will not name a scheduled meeting. They will name a corridor. FirstMove is built for the corridor.
Brella books meetings weeks out. FirstMove wins the eighty per cent of a conference nobody scheduled.
Matchmaking and 1:1 meeting scheduling. Delegates state what they are looking for, receive suggested matches and book slots ahead of time. It requires delegates to prepare.
The unscheduled hours, which is most of them. The coffee queue, the corridor after a keynote, the bar at the end of day one. FirstMove gives delegates a mutual way to approach the person standing right there, with no preparation and no cold open.
| FirstMoveThe Presence Layer | BrellaConference matchmaking | |
|---|---|---|
| The trigger | Someone physically near you right now | A match suggested by the platform |
| The unit of value | A conversation that starts in person | A booked meeting slot |
| Preparation required | None. Turn up and it works | Delegates must set up a profile and book ahead |
| Who decides who you meet | You do, in the room, with mutual consent | The matchmaking algorithm suggests |
| After the conference | Nothing retained. The chats close with the event | Contacts and meeting history persist |
| Beyond conferences | Same protocol in bars, gyms, campuses and festivals | Built specifically for events |
Brella is described by what it is built for. Feature lists change. The boundary does not.
Delegates who wanted a meeting will find a way to book one. The value a conference is judged on is the conversation nobody planned, and that is the part no calendar tool can reach. FirstMove covers it, alongside whatever is running your agenda.
Tap a question to expand.
No, deliberately. Matchmaking decides who you should meet on your behalf. The 3-Way Handshake lets two people decide that themselves, in the room, with mutual consent at every step. That is a stronger signal than any algorithm produces.
Profiles and chats are ephemeral by design. Two people who want to stay in touch swap details themselves, exactly as they would after meeting in person. That single decision is why delegates trust it enough to use it.
No. FirstMove carries no agenda, speaker list or exhibitor content, so it never competes for that slot. It runs as the social layer alongside whatever is delivering your programme.
Keep the stack you have. Add the layer you do not. We will walk you through what a VibeZone looks like in your venue.
