The app for a networking mixer
The measurable output of a mixer is the number of contacts that still exist a week later. Almost every other part of the evening is in service of that one number, and business cards lose it.
A planning figure: the size at which a guest can no longer meet everyone and needs a way to choose.
The one number a mixer is judged on
A networking event app gives guests a searchable directory of who is in the room and a way to keep the people they meet. event67 does this with attendee profiles and QR connections: two guests scan each other in person, and the connection persists in both their apps afterwards. It is attendee to attendee, it is not a badge scanner for exhibitors, and it does not sync to anybody's CRM.
Knowing who is here before you commit to a conversation
The directory is searchable by name and company, and every profile carries a photo, a role, interests and links. Guests decide what appears on their own. Browsing it in the queue for a drink is how a two-hour mixer produces three intentional conversations instead of six accidental ones.
A contact exchange that works with a drink in one hand
QR connections take one scan. No typing, no photographing a business card, no promising to look someone up. The connection is stored for both people and survives the evening, which is the entire point of the format.
A door that does not become a queue
QR check-in with a live arrivals count. For a mixer the count is a catering signal rather than a security one, and knowing at 18:40 that seventy of a hundred and forty have arrived is genuinely useful to a bar.
Something to send afterwards
The shared album gives you photographs the same night. A scheduled announcement thanking guests and pointing at the next event lands the following morning, which is when a mixer either becomes a series or does not.
An evening, and the morning after
The week before
Invite, then publish the room
Import the guest list as CSV and send branded invites. Opening the directory before the night is what converts an RSVP into an intention: guests arrive knowing two people they want to find.
Uses the attendee directory.
Doors
Scan and go
The QR pass checks a guest in. A second scan returns already checked in rather than an error, which matters when guests step outside and come back.
Uses check-in.
Through the evening
Scan the people you actually met
Two phones, one scan, connection kept. Guests who could not attend in person can still browse and request a connection remotely, which is useful for a series where the same community recurs.
Uses QR connections.
One announcement
The five-minute notice
A push announcement for the one moment that matters: a short welcome, a sponsor thank-you, a raffle draw. One is right. Three is a mixer that people mute.
Uses push announcements.
The next morning
Photos, and the invitation to the next one
The album is ready. A scheduled announcement written the day before goes out at nine, and the analytics tell you what share of the invited list actually activated, which is the number that decides whether the series grows.
Uses the shared album and analytics.
Setting up a mixer
Four steps, which is genuinely all this format needs.
Create the event
One evening, one room. Currency locks when it goes live.
Import the guest list and invite
CSV in, branded invite out, delivery tracked per recipient.
Open the directory before the night
This is the step that changes the evening. Guests browse, decide who to find, and arrive with a plan.
Write one announcement
Schedule it for the moment that matters. Resist the second and third.
What a 140-guest mixer costs
A hundred and forty guests activate. Fifty are free, so ninety are billable once. A mixer of fifty or fewer costs nothing at all, which covers a great many first events in a new series.
- activated attendees
- 140activated attendees
- billable, after the first 50 are free
- 90billable, after the first 50 are free
- for the whole event, at $5.00 each
- $450for the whole event, at $5.00 each
Because the meter counts activation rather than RSVPs, the well-known gap between people who say yes and people who come does not appear on your bill.
What a mixer organizer should not expect from us
Networking is where our QR feature is most likely to be mistaken for something else, so this list is worth reading carefully.
- No AI matchmaking and no suggested introductions. The directory is browsable; nothing recommends who you should meet.
- No 1:1 meeting scheduler. Nobody's calendar gets booked.
- No lead capture and no CRM sync. A QR connection belongs to the two attendees, not to a sponsor or an organizer's marketing system.
- No ticketing or paid registration. Forms collect responses, not money, so a paid mixer sells tickets somewhere else.

What it costs
- Free up to 50
- activated attendees, on one live event
- $5
- per activated attendee beyond 50
- $4,750
- the most one event can ever cost, whatever happens past 1,000
Activated means the person claimed their invite and opened the app. Not when you import them, not when the invite is delivered, and not if they register and stay home.
Questions people actually ask
Do guests keep their connections after the event?
Yes. A QR connection is stored for both attendees and remains in their app after the event ends. That persistence is the reason this format works better than a bowl of business cards.
Can a sponsor collect the guest list?
No. There is no lead retrieval and no export of attendee contact details to a sponsor. Sponsors get a tier-ordered page with a logo, description and website. Connections belong to the two attendees who made them.
Does it suggest who I should meet?
No. There is no matchmaking of any kind. The directory is searchable by name and company and shows interests, and the choosing is yours. Some organizers see that as a limitation and some see it as the point.
Is an app overkill for a mixer of sixty?
At sixty activated guests you are paying for ten, so cost is not the argument. The argument is whether your guests would use a directory. For a recurring professional community, they usually do. For a one-off social, they usually do not.
Can we charge for tickets?
Not through event67. There is no ticketing, no payments and no paid forms. Sell tickets in a ticketing tool and import the resulting guest list as CSV.
