About BondU
What Is BondU
BondU is an event technology platform for the people who run conferences, trade shows and corporate meetups. Organizers use it to steer attendees toward the right people and sessions, while exhibitors capture and score leads in the same workspace.
Most event apps stop at a schedule and a map. BondU pitches itself as an event engagement platform instead, and adds a recommendation layer that reads stated interests, sign-up choices and in-event activity, then suggests attendees, exhibitors and meetings as the day unfolds. The point is to remove the awkward guesswork of walking into a hall with 2,000 strangers.
The company also sells an NFC digital business card. One tap shares your details with a phone, and the person on the other side doesn't need an app to save them. Teams that still print paper cards usually start there and move into the event side later.
Two limits matter before you book a call. Pricing isn't published, so every deal runs through a demo and a custom quote. And the platform is aimed at organized events with exhibitors or multi-track agendas. A 30-person meetup won't get much from the matchmaking engine.
Getting Started
- Book a demo with the BondU team and describe your event format, expected headcount and exhibitor count.
- Set up the event profile: dates, venue, agenda sessions, ticket types and the profile fields attendees fill in.
- Invite exhibitors and sponsors, then load their booth details so the recommendation engine has something to match against.
- Open the networking feed at launch day and review the engagement and lead reports once the event closes.

Key features
AI Matchmaking
The engine scores attendees, exhibitors and sessions against each other using stated interests, registration answers and activity during the event. Recommendations refresh as people browse and accept meetings, so the shortlist doesn't stay frozen on day one. Organizers can review the matches and push a few curated introductions when the algorithm needs a nudge.
Networking Tools
Attendees get chat, meeting requests and virtual interaction inside the event space. A meeting request carries a suggested time and place, which cuts the usual four-message back and forth. Organizers see response rates, so a silent networking floor shows up before the closing keynote.
Agenda and Sessions
Sessions live in a personalized schedule built from each attendee's picks and behavior. People can bookmark talks, ask questions during a session and get reminders when a favorite clashes with another. Organizers get a per-session view of saves, attendance and questions.
Exhibitor and Sponsor Tools
Exhibitors manage their booth profile, staff list and lead forms from one dashboard. Every scan or manual entry becomes a lead with a timestamp and interest tag, and booth traffic shows up as a simple visibility score. Sponsors can see how many impressions their placement collected.
Attendee Insights and Ratings
Organizers get a live read on engagement: who is active, which sessions hold attention and where people drop off. Post-event ratings feed back into the next edition, so session selection stops relying on gut feel.
Post-Event Reporting
After the doors close, BondU compiles attendance, meeting counts, lead totals and booth performance into a report you can hand to a sponsor. The numbers are the part sponsors ask about when they decide whether to renew.
NFC Digital Business Cards
BondU's smart card shares your contact details with a tap on an NFC-enabled phone. The recipient saves your profile without installing anything, and your details stay editable after the card is printed. It's the low-friction way to keep a conversation going after the badge comes off.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Matchmaking, agenda, chat and exhibitor tools sit in one platform, which removes the usual integration work between three separate vendors.
- Recommendations update from live behaviour, not just the job title someone typed at registration.
- Exhibitor lead capture comes with booth analytics, so sponsors get evidence instead of a stack of business cards.
- The NFC digital business card works without an app on the recipient's phone, which matters at mixed-tech events.
- Post-event reports are built for sponsor conversations, with attendance, meetings and lead totals in one place.
Cons
- No published pricing. You have to book a demo before you can compare costs against other event platforms.
- No public API or developer docs, so teams that want to push leads into their own CRM need to ask about exports first.
- The value drops on small events. Under a few hundred attendees, manual introductions often work as well as matchmaking.
- Mobile app availability isn't documented on the site, so confirm device support for your attendees before you promise an app.
