How Mingleround works for organizers
One event, start to finish: from creating it to saving it as a template. The people and the event in it are made up.
The same in words
1. Create the event
A name, a link and a date. A few minutes, and you do not need to install anything.
2. Build the rounds
Create your rounds, then add moving times and breaks in the order you want. The timeline shows the whole event with clock times.
3. Set up games
Games give people something to talk about, so nobody is stuck wondering what to say. Switch one on and it shows in the rounds, and the best conversation starters appear in the chat after a match.
4. Rehearse with a test round
Add test participants, pair them, let them answer and see the matches. Nobody real is bothered.
5. See it as a participant
Open the event as one of the test people to see exactly what a participant sees.
6. Add your participants
Most participants register with your link. You can also add people by hand, or import a CSV.
7. Pair them
Mingleround pairs the whole room for you. Not happy with a pair? Swap people by hand, then lock the pairs.
8. Press Start
Publish the event, prepare the rounds and start it. The Room Display opens for the room, and the event runs by itself: rounds, moving times and breaks. Pause, add a minute or skip ahead whenever you need to; a bar follows you on every page. When the rounds are over, you release the matches.
9. Save it as a template
Happy with how it ran? Save the set-up as a template for your next event.
