An event app and management platform built around networking and scheduled meetings.
What it is for
Arranging one-to-one and group meetings at business events, from buyer and supplier meetings to investor and start-up matching, and giving sponsors meeting and lead tools.
Documented capabilities
- AI-powered matchmaking with editable interests, which Brella says learns from attendees’ past actions.
- One-to-one and group meetings, automated meeting notifications, private messaging, custom meeting locations and automated table assignment.
- Gated networking and attendance-type tags to control who can meet whom.
- Lead and contact scanning, including attendee-to-attendee scanning, and one-to-one meeting ratings (beta).
- Native iOS and Android apps, a responsive web app, organiser and sponsor admin panels and embeddable schedule, speaker, ticketing and sponsor widgets.
- Multi-track schedules, breakout rooms of up to 200 people, livestream integration and calendar sync.

Pricing model and availability
Prices are not recorded here; Brella sells through demonstrations and quotations.
What to check before buying
Ask what data feeds the matchmaking and whether it carries over between events, how attendees can opt out, and how gated networking and meeting locations would be configured for your event. Confirm which integrations are native and which need the managed integrations team.
