Professional connections
Walk into the room already knowing who you're there to meet.
The Gantry is the support you're never given when networking. Read the room before you attend, know what makes each person interesting and give them a nudge to break the ice before you attend.
Mobile-first. Built around real UK networking events. Free to join a Room.
How it works
Four moves, and the awkward bit disappears.
Most networking is a lottery: you turn up, you hope, you leave with a pocket of cards and no follow-up. The Gantry turns that into something you can actually prepare for.
Find the Room
Swipe events near you, filtered by how far you'll travel and how far ahead you plan. Interested, saved, or not this time.
Read the room
Once you're going, see who else is. Each card leads with what they're working on right now.
Nudge with intent
Shortlist the people you are interested in meeting, then send a nudge that breaks the ice.
Keep the thread
An accepted nudge opens a small thread scoped to that Room. Enough to learn a little more, and open a dialogue you can carry on in the room.
What's inside
Built for the room, and for the person running it.
Read the room before you walk into it
Room swipes, attendee swipes, nudges that name an intent, threads that stay scoped to the event, and projects for the work that comes after the handshake.
See the product For event ownersProve what the room produced
Upload your delegate list, hand every attendee the full room for your event, and see attendance, nudges and introductions as outcomes rather than door numbers. Free, with no listing fee and no subscription.

Free shows you 30% of the Rooms and 30% of each room you join. Premium opens them completely. Event owners pay nothing at all.

What networking software actually costs, how to measure whether an event worked, what delegate data an organiser should be allowed to see, and why most apps go quiet the day after.
Read the guidesWhat it deliberately isn't
Built to be quiet.
Plenty of products want your attention every day. This one wants about ten minutes, twice around an event you were going to attend anyway.
No feed, no likes, no counts
Nothing to scroll, nothing to perform for, and no public tallies of who knows whom. Your connections are yours and they are not a scoreboard.
Privacy that's enforced, not promised
Skips are visible only to their author. Pending invitees see a stripped view.
Nobody gets ghosted
Pitches get reminders at 7, 3 and 1 days, and close honestly at the deadline with a plain message. An unanswered ask is a bug here, not a feature.
Founding members
The first rooms are being built now.
We're opening The Gantry with a small group of members and event owners across the Midlands and the South East. Leave your email and we'll be in touch about the next Room near you.
Event owners: tell us the event and the date, and we'll set the Room up with you.
