Open Doors
Organizer sign inThe table is the door.
Most business matchmaking events end the same way: a room full of people who met nobody in particular. Open Doors replaces the scramble with a booked schedule — round tables, a host at each one, and a seat you reserved before you arrived.
It is the matchmaking layer, not another registration system. Bring the attendee list you already have.
How it works
One
Hosts take a table
A lender, a prime contractor, an agency, a buyer. Each host sits at one table with a stated reason to be there — working capital, subcontracting, certification help — and a fixed number of seats.
Two
Attendees book seats
Everyone who registered picks the tables worth their time and claims a seat in a round. Seats are first come, first served, and one booking per company keeps a single firm from taking the whole table.
Three
Everyone leaves with a schedule
Each person gets their own agenda before the doors open — which table, which round, who they are meeting. Hosts get their seat list. Nobody works the room hoping to get lucky.
Who it is built for
- Councils and chambers
- Recurring member events where the same hosts return and the attendee list changes.
- Economic development orgs
- Matching local firms to capital, contracts and technical help in one sitting.
- Conference and summit teams
- A structured hour that produces meetings instead of a networking break.
What it does not do
Open Doors does not sell tickets, take payments, or try to replace the registration platform an organization already runs. It imports the attendee list and handles the part those tools leave undone: deciding who sits with whom, and when.
How we use email
Mail is transactional and goes only to people an organizer has registered for their own event: a one-time sign-in link, a confirmed seat, a schedule before the event, and a short follow-up with the contacts someone actually met. No marketing lists, no purchased addresses, no bulk sending.
