The people you need are in one city for three days. Reaching them shouldn't cost a pass or a booth.
A trade show, a congress, a market or a conference: whatever your industry calls it has two programs. The official one, where a conference pass can cost more than the business it brings in, and a booth costs more than most small firms can justify. And the side events around it: side events such as breakfasts, dinners and roundtables, which need no pass to join and cost far less to host.
Without a pass
Can't justify a full conference pass? Meet attendees at the side events, dinners and meetups around it.
Nobody needs a pass to join a side event.
Without a booth
Can't afford or justify a booth at the trade show? Run a roundtable, demo or dinner around it and invite the people you want to meet.
A side event is a cheaper route to prospects than a booth.
You've paid for the pass, the travel and the hotel. Whether it pays off comes down to who you bump into.
a10d shows you who's going, and why each of them is worth your time, before you arrive. Make sure you meet the people who made it worth the trip.
See who is worth meeting before you arrive.
"Who's going" is a long, anonymous list. Matching apps won't tell you why someone is on it.
a10d tells you who's looking for what you sell, who sells what you need, and who you'll share a room with. In your language, whatever language they wrote theirs in.
Say what you offer and what you're after, add your events, and meet.
Every profile is described in the same recognized classifications: 651 industries, 3,039 job titles and 76,213 products and services.
Example matches
Industries include Space transport, Storage of electricity, Publishing of video games, Reinsurance, Manufacture of beer, Event catering activities, Architectural activities, Hospital activities, Fund management activities, Cargo handling, Aluminium production, and Manufacture of footwear.
Job titles include Chief Executive Officer, Purchasing Manager, Robotics Engineer, Specialist Nurse, Head Chef, Event Manager, Data Scientist, Fashion Designer, Logistics and Distribution Manager, Journalist, Sommelier, and Architect.
International events bring together people who don't share a language. Most matching stops at the language a profile was written in.
a10d runs in 37 languages, and every profile is described in the same international classifications, so a buyer in Lyon finds a supplier in Leeds whatever language each of them wrote in.

Most business happens on the sidelines, and the sidelines are invisible unless you know someone.
The breakfast, the drinks after the sessions, the run before the doors open: that's where conversations turn into business. a10d puts the side events around every industry event on one page. Join one, or host your own and invite exactly who you want across the table.
Hosts choose who to invite from the people going to the event.
A match is worth nothing if you never meet. Group chats help, until you're added on day two and can see nothing.
Every event on a10d has its own private group on Telegram. You join when you're approved, you can read everything said before you arrived, and it goes read-only a month after the event. Your number and your handle stay yours.

How the beta works
Free to join
a10d is invite-only while we test it with a small group of professionals. Request an invite and we'll email you when there's a place for you. Joining is always free, and so is your first event. Tell us which events you're going to and we'll prioritize invites for them.
Davie Robertson, Founder, a10d
Most business at trade shows and conferences happens on the sidelines: over breakfast, at a dinner, or at a meetup once the day has ended. Meeting the right people there has mostly been luck. I built a10d so it no longer has to be. It shows you who is worth meeting at each one, and why, and helps you find, create and organize the side events around it, with or without a pass or a booth.
