Bring people together with better questions

Host a ThinkMatch event anywhere, including private events, and give guests a clearer path into conversation before they arrive.

Host Program

Host better real-world events

Why use Evite or Partiful when ThinkMatch offers so much more? ThinkMatch helps make your event more meaningful and memorable with guest matching, enticing guest persona profiles, pre-event chat or video chat, and specific conversation prompts that highlight common interests, values, and synergies.

ThinkMatch can help turn an event into a building block for community and connection. It is especially useful for students, organizers, community builders, and people planning gatherings where introductions matter.

How it works

1. Create your event

Set up a free ThinkMatch event anywhere, including a private event, campus gathering, club meeting, restaurant, bar, school, place of worship, or community space. It takes about two minutes.

2. Share your event link

Each event gets a shareable invite link. Post it, text it, or hand it out. New users who come through that link are attributed to your event automatically, including private-event guests.

3. Let ThinkMatch do the matching

Guests answer event questions, join the event, get matched into the event experience, and then participate in ThinkMatch chat or video tied to that event. You focus on hosting and bringing people together.

4. Build a stronger room

Guests arrive with shared context, possible conversation starters, and a better sense of who they may want to meet.

New tools for hosts and communities

Create questions with artificial intelligence

Paste an article, agenda, briefing, or other source into the event creator. ThinkMatch generates editable questions designed to uncover shared interests, opinions, and priorities before people meet.

Show local events on a website

Participating community publications can combine selected local-event sources, reader submissions, and ThinkMatch events in an embeddable listing that fits into their existing website.

Turn articles into local Roundtables

Authorized publication staff can create an Article Roundtable from an article, review its questions and meeting details, and place a ThinkMatch lightbulb button beneath the article so readers can respond, match, and meet locally.

Who this is for

Local organizers and publishers

Community leaders can create more welcoming gatherings, while authorized publication staff can maintain local-event listings and turn articles into local Roundtables.

Community organizers

Churches, temples, social groups, and Meetup event hosts can make regular gatherings more welcoming and easier for guests to enter.

Regular hosts and connectors

If you already bring people together at a bar, restaurant, game night, networking event, or neighborhood meetup, ThinkMatch gives you a clearer way to help guests connect.
