seating plans!

Configure your rounds, your tables and your attendees. BenchEvent computes the optimal placement in seconds — maximizing relevant encounters, respecting expressed wishes and balancing tables. You stay in control, the algorithm does the work.

  • Optimized automatic placement powered by a constraint optimization solver (AI).
  • Attendee portal: each guest expresses meeting wishes (want to meet, avoid) with a 1-to-3 star priority.
  • Teams and team types: group your attendees by category (startups, investors, buyers, suppliers…) and apply mixing rules.
  • Multiple rounds: chain several sessions, the algorithm guarantees diversity of encounters between rounds.
  • Variable-capacity tables: from one-on-one to tables of 10, configure your slots to fit your format.
  • Multi-tenant SaaS: manage multiple events, multiple teams, multiple organizers under a single account.

For whom?

B2B trade show organizers, event agencies, chambers of commerce, startup accelerators, schools, professional associations: anyone who wants to turn an event into a high-quality connection machine.

Your attendees deserve better than random seating!

Frequently asked questions

How does the automatic placement work?

BenchEvent relies on a constraint optimization engine. You define your rules (who can meet whom, table capacities, attendee wishes) and the algorithm computes the best placement in seconds.

Can my attendees express preferences?

Yes. Each attendee accesses a dedicated portal to indicate who they want to meet or avoid, with a 1-to-3 star priority. The algorithm takes this into account.

How many attendees can I manage?

From 10 to several thousand. The solver has been tested on 500+ attendee events with multiple rounds, computing placement in under a minute.

Can I edit the placement after computation?

Of course. BenchEvent shows you the proposed solution which you can adjust manually, or rerun the solver with different constraints.
