Stuart is an app for events and conferences that introduces guests who will truly click, in real life, and helps them grow a network of genuine, rewarding connections. Drop Stuart into your event and the room comes alive.
You want people to turn up, meet someone who matters and have a positive, memorable experience that leaves them wanting to come back. Not a day of awkward conversations and transactional contact swapping that goes nowhere.
You get the right people in one place at real cost. But the magic is left to chance. Right now, event apps prioritise matches based on function. Yet great meetings come from great human connection. And the people who would really click pass each other by.
Stuart matches people based on who they are, not just what they do. We remove the awkwardness, hand each person a warm reason to say hello, and help them keep the relationship going after the event. Matching is 1.7x better than chance and improves over time. The result is an event worth coming back for: one that feels more human, more generous, and leaves people energised rather than drained.
Guests create a quick profile and choose your event. The more they share, the better the match.
Stuart finds someone in the room they will genuinely click with, and explains why.
Both say yes. Then Stuart shares a warm opener and a little prep for each side.
In real time. In real life. A real conversation, with someone you both wanted to meet.
Record it, follow up, and connect onward, so a one-off spark becomes a lasting network.
Stuart can also be a quiet wingman. Just set it to pocket mode and it will notice who you naturally spend time with, prompting you later for notes.
Just add to the mix and spark deeper connections between the people who will click. No extra work, but another string to the bow.
Our Stuart died in 2015, aged 94. Until just six months before, Stuart was still travelling the world, connecting with a vast network of friends and colleagues and thoughtfully introducing people to one another.
Stuart's generosity of spirit changed the lives of some and inspired many others to do the same.
Stuart the app is an attempt to bottle that instinct and share it with the world.
We all need to be more Stuart.
We are running Stuart at a handful of invited events while in pilot phase. If you organise events or conferences and want a room that genuinely connects, we would love to try Stuart with you.
