How it works
You run the conference. It runs the machinery.
Five steps from setup to follow-up. At each one, here is what you decide and what ConferenceDock handles.
- Step 01
Configure the conference
You
Set your days, time slots, rooms or tables, attendee roles, and the lock-in date. Decide who can request whom.
ConferenceDock
Builds the slot grid the solver will fill and applies your rules to every request.
- Step 02
Invite your list
You
Approve attendees and send personal invitations. Nothing is public, and nobody joins without one.
ConferenceDock
Walks each attendee through a profile: firm, criteria, and investment thesis. Company details fill in from their website. Capital Providers set mandate gates.
- Step 03
Open matching
You
Advance the conference to the matching phase when the room is ready.
ConferenceDock
Ranks counterparties for every Independent Sponsor and Capital Provider on thesis, deal size, check size, EBITDA range, sector, geography, and stage, and explains each match. Requests are sent and answered as functional cards in the message thread.
- Step 04
Schedule and lock
You
Pin the meetings that must happen at a set time. Lock the schedule on your date.
ConferenceDock
Feeds accepted meetings, attendee priorities, and blocked-out time into a constraint solver. Re-runs 30 seconds after changes settle, until lock-in.
- Step 05
Meet and report
You
Run the day from live status. Handle the few things that need a person.
ConferenceDock
Puts each schedule on the attendee's phone, available offline, with a prep brief before every meeting. Captures ratings, notes, and next steps afterward. Exports connections and produces your post-event reports.
Phase control
Seven phases. Forward only. You decide when each one starts.
- 01
Open
Invitations go out. Profiles are completed.
- 02
Matching
Matches are ranked and explained. Requests flow.
- 03
Scheduling
The solver assigns times and tables continuously.
- 04
Locked
The schedule freezes on your lock-in date.
- 05
Live
The conference days. Live status and alerts.
- 06
Concluded
Capture closes out. Reports are ready.
- 07
Archived
The event is read-only for the record.
Who uses it
Four roles, one conference.
Independent Sponsors
Deal professionals who source a company and need the right capital partner for that specific deal. They get ranked Capital Providers with reasons, and a schedule built around their priorities.
Capital Providers
LPs, private equity funds, family offices, and debt providers. They set mandate gates, so only requests inside their criteria reach them.
Organizers
The conference team. Setup, invitations, phase control, live status, safety alerts, and reports.
Delegates
Assistants who act for a principal: answering requests, ranking priorities, and managing the schedule.
