Frequently asked.

Q:What types of events do you have?

A:We focus on in-person, director / VP / C-suite level events. We have events around the world (with concentrations in the obvious big cities in North America). See top topics for events on our platform — but you can add your own topics too!

Q:How are matches determined?

A:We match events on three dimensions:

• Location: We match you to events within 150 miles of your location (higher match score for closer events). You can update your location anytime in your dashboard (e.g. if you're traveling to a city for work) to have your matches re-run.
• Audience: The match between the event's target audience and information we pull from your LinkedIn (function, seniority, work experience) plus info you provide (e.g. employment status).
• Interests: The match between the event description and your stated interests. Update these anytime in your dashboard.

Q:How do I improve my matches?

A:Give us feedback — in email or on your dashboard — on each event we send you. It helps us improve the matching algorithm for everyone and improve your matches.

Q:Can I have more than one location for matches?

A:We (consciously) have started with allowing users to have just one location for event matches at a time. This is because we are focused on helping executives find quality events vs. becoming a tool for selling ;) If you are traveling you can easily update your location to see matches in a new city. We will explore multi-location functionality for top contributors in the future — so email great events you see to event@whispered.com.

Q:Do I qualify for Whispered Events?

A:Whispered Events skews executive-level, but we default to admitting everyone who applies (assuming you are positive, professional and constructive) — as long as your profile matches your LinkedIn. Instead of sending every event to every user, we use your profile and interests to surface the ones that actually fit. Final say belongs to each organizer — they decide who attends; we just point you to the right rooms and make the best matches we can. Rate your matches on your dashboard to help us improve the events we match to you.

Q:What data do you collect, and how is it used?

A:At signup, we collect your LinkedIn profile, email, employment status, interests, and location. We never share your email but may share your other information with partners running events you match for.

Q:Is Whispered Events really free?

A:Yes, Whispered Events is 100% free. Andy (founder of Whispered) is passionate about connecting people and the power of events.
