The value of a NetworkNite evening doesn't end with the last conversation. The Connect-Card turns in-person conversations into clear, mutual follow-up, without awkward guesswork, extra apps or inbox spam. Here's how it works.

Four steps, one evening.
You receive your Connect-Card linkAt or before the evening
You'll get a unique Connect-Card link by email or text, and your host gives a quick explanation of how it works. It opens in any smartphone browser: no download, no login, no setup.
Mark who you'd like to reconnect withDuring the evening
As you move through your one-on-one conversations, mark the people you'd like to reconnect with, and skip anyone you don't. Think of it as your private shortlist.
Finalize before midnightUntil midnight, local time
Your Connect-Card stays open until midnight, local time, on the night of your evening. Until then you can:
- add people to your list
- change your mind
- remove or update any selection
View your mutual connectionsAfter midnight
After midnight, all selections are processed. Return to your Connect-Card link to see your mutual connections: the people you selected who also selected you, with their first name and email address so you can follow up.
No guessing, no wondering. Just clean, mutual green lights.
Follow-up that's welcome.
Networking works best when follow-up feels welcome, intentional and clearly mutual. That's why the Connect-Card only shares connections where both people want to continue the conversation. It:
- protects your time
- respects other professionals
- keeps outreach aligned with clear interest
You're always in control.
- your selections are confidential
- only mutual connections are revealed
- your information is never sold or shared with outside parties
- no public profiles, no unsolicited messages
A simple first message.
“Great meeting you at NetworkNite. I enjoyed our conversation about [topic]. Would you be open to a quick call or coffee?”
Keep it professional, specific and respectful of their time. How to follow up
It's who you reconnect with.
The Connect-Card removes the awkwardness of wondering who to follow up with, helps you reach out with confidence, and keeps every connection mutual and consent-based. Networking isn't just who you meet in the room. It's who you reconnect with after, and what you build from there.
