From an attendee’s point of view, TapIn takes about a minute, and then it’s working for you the rest of the night. Here’s the whole flow.
Point your camera at the event’s QR code, on a slide, a badge, or the invite, and it opens the event directory. No app store, no download.
Add a name, a photo, a short bio, and the ways you want people to reach you, with a public/private toggle on each. Takes seconds, and you only do it once.
You’re on the list. Browse everyone who’s here, search by name or interest, and see the people worth finding before the night’s over.
Save a contact straight to your phone or favorite the people you want to remember. When you get home, the connections are already there, no cards to transcribe.
“Walk in, tap in, walk out with everyone you meant to meet.”
Until next time,

I’m building TapIn so the connections you make at events actually last, no more lost cards or forgotten names. I write about events, networking, and community.
