A belief about how people connect # The best part of any conference is the hallway conversation. So we built a platform that's nothing but hallway conversations. No keynotes. No panels. No one-to-many broadcast dressed up as community. Just small groups of people who actually have something to say to each other. The problem ## Most events waste most people's time. You spend $1,200 on a ticket, $400 on a flight, three nights in a hotel — to sit in the dark watching slides you could have read in ten minutes. You walk away with a tote bag and a LinkedIn connection request from someone you said two words to. The connections that actually matter? They happen by accident. In the coffee line. At the bar after the third talk you didn't really need to see. Those conversations are the whole point — and the current format buries them under production value. > "The best conversations happen between people who want exactly what the other has." Our approach ## We match people, not just seat them. Regroup works like a dating app for ideas. You tell us what you know, what you're building, and what you need. We find the people whose offer matches your ask — and vice versa. Then we put you in a room together. Not a room of 300 people watching a stage — a room of eight people with a whiteboard and ninety minutes to go deep. ### Tell us what you care about Pick topics, propose a session, or just show interest in conversations that already exist. ### Tell us what you offer — and what you need Your Intro / Offer / Ask unlocks precision matching. Not by title or employer — by what you actually bring and what you're genuinely looking for. ### We find your group When enough people share an interest, we run matching across shared topics, tags, and IOA overlap — and create a small-group event designed around you. Two formats ## One-time conversations. Recurring communities. ### Unconferences Single sessions built around a specific topic. You propose it, others show interest, we find the right people and run the match. No facilitators required — these conversations run themselves. ### User Groups Recurring communities for people who want to meet regularly. Same small group, consistent cadence, compounding trust. The difference between a conversation and a relationship. The matching engine ## IOA: the thing that makes it work. Most platforms match on surface-level attributes — job title, company, location. We match on what you actually know and what you genuinely need. I ### Intro Who you are in one sentence. Not your LinkedIn headline — what you'd say to someone interesting at dinner. O ### Offer What you can genuinely help others with. Hard-won experience, rare perspective, or useful connections. A ### Ask What you actually need right now. The thing you'd trade a good conversation for. Specific is better than vague. Our algorithm reads your offer against other people's asks, and vice versa. When there's overlap, we know you'll have something useful to say to each other before you even meet. What we believe ## A few things we hold true. **Small groups make real conversation possible.** Eight people can go deep. Eight hundred cannot. **Specificity creates quality.** The more honest your IOA, the better your matches. Vague gets vague back. **The best ideas come from unexpected collisions.** We don't just match identical people — we match complementary ones. **You shouldn't need to be a conference organizer to start a conversation.** Proposing a regroup takes two minutes. ## Ready to find your people?
