Before sessions
Spot speakers, founders, and peers you want to meet while the room is still navigable.
Conference networking that starts at badge pickup
You just clipped on your lanyard and the hall is already loud. Wyrl shows who else is at the conference so you can message between sessions, not after everyone flies home.

Between talks
Message during the break instead of losing them in the coffee line crowd.
On the last day
Find people you meant to meet all week while you are both still on site, not in the airport queue.
The event guest list
Stay connected with people from the same event, even if you are not checked in at the same time.
Events are optional. They add a guest list and attendee filtering when you choose to check in. When you do join an event, Wyrl organizes people around that shared experience so you can connect before, during, and after it happens.
How nearby discovery works
Without an event check-in
Wyrl works for general nearby discovery with no event required. Wyrl does not assume you are at any particular event. If you have not checked into an event, you see other nearby Wyrl users who have not checked into an event either.
When you check into an event
Checking in through an RSVP or Join the Crowd is optional, but it enhances the experience. Once checked in, you see and are visible to people in that same event, join the guest list, and can filter to other attendees.
Events are there to improve your experience, not to make the app work.
Broader discovery in Settings
In Settings, you can expand who you see nearby beyond your current context. This allows you to:
- Discover a wider set of people in real time
- Network more freely across spaces
- Adjust how checked-in and non-checked-in users appear to you
Two ways to join an event
To get on the guest list, see other attendees, and filter to people at that event, join through one of these two ways.
RSVP
RSVP to join the guest list. You can:
- See who is attending ahead of time
- Message attendees before the event starts
- Continue conversations during and after the event
Join the Crowd
When the event goes live, tap Join the Crowd to join the guest list. You can:
- See other attendees at that event
- Filter to people in that event context
- Continue conversations after the event ends
Why the guest list exists
Most event connections disappear the moment people leave the same room. The guest list keeps them tied to the shared context so you can:
- Connect before you meet
- Talk while you are there
- Follow up after you leave
Same people. Same event. Flexible timing.
Exhibitors on the floor
Booth teams see who is nearby, start a conversation in the app before someone walks past, and hand off a digital card so demos turn into follow-ups instead of forgotten faces.
Also works at meetups and hackathons. Same idea: see who is in the room and message while everyone is still there. See attendee scenarios.

Conference FAQ
Why use a conference networking app?
You only have a few days at a conference. Wyrl helps you discover people nearby between sessions and stay connected through the guest list before and after.
What is the conference guest list?
The guest list keeps you connected with people from the same conference, even if you are not checked in at the same time. On conferences with RSVP, you can also message before the event starts.
How does nearby discovery work at a conference?
Without a check-in, you see other nearby Wyrl users who have not checked into an event. When you RSVP or Join the Crowd for a conference, you see and are visible to people in that same event. You can expand who you see in Settings or go invisible at any time.
Does Wyrl work for exhibitors?
Yes. Booth teams can see who is on the floor nearby and start conversations in the app before someone walks past.
When should I download Wyrl for a conference?
Before you travel, especially if the conference offers RSVP. Have the app ready when you arrive.
