    The project

SentiVent

SentiVent is Sentigrate’s venture for the events industry; event technology that puts people back at the centre of the room.

Selected as a winning contestant in the BEFuture accelerator in 2025, SentiVent is built around a simple idea: the most valuable thing at any business event is the right conversation, and data can make far more of them happen.

    The problem

At a busy event, the best connection is the one you never make.

Every conference and networking night is full of people who should meet, but mostly don’t. Visitors spend their time on clunky event apps and endless small talk, while the conversations that would actually justify the trip slip past unnoticed.

Organizers face the mirror image of the same problem. They can count the crowd, but they can’t see it: which stands draw people, where visitors linger, which sponsors get attention, and where the flow stalls. Foot traffic is easy to measure; genuine interest is not.

THE QUESTION SENTIVENT SET OUT TO ANSWER

What if an event could help you meet the people who actually matter?

– SentiVent

    The solution

Less phone, more people, and a live map of the room.

Sentivent uses short-range wireless to make connecting effortless and, at the same time, turn each interaction into a signal organizers can act on without downloads, logins or visitors staring at a screen.

It works in three moves:

01

Connect with a tap

NFC and Bluetooth let delegates share who they are and what they’re looking for with a single tap. No app to download, no profile to set up. Connecting becomes as natural as a handshake.

02

Match the people who matter

AI reads intent and proximity to surface the people nearby who are genuinely relevant to you, cutting awkward small talk and making every introduction count.

03

Map the flow in real time

Every tap feeds a live map of the event, showing where crowds gather, which stands and sponsors draw attention, and where the flow stalls. This way, organizers can steer the action as it happens.

  • See genuine interest, not just foot traffic
  • Highlight the spots that matter to sponsors
  • Keep visitors discovering more, in real time

One tap

to connect.

Technology that gets out of the way.

The fastest distance between two people shouldn’t run through an app store. By collapsing the whole exchange into a single tap, Sentivent removes the friction that keeps event tech from being used at all.

The result is effortless networking, visible engagement, and events where the conversations take centre stage.
