Overview

twine is a platform designed to enhance virtual networking and facilitate advanced breakout room management for both web-based events and Zoom meetings. It enables hosts to create meaningful connections through various matchmaking modes, including Speed Networking, Visual, A/B, and Multi-Tag, which pair attendees for timed conversations. The platform integrates seamlessly across Web, Zoom, and Slack, allowing it to be activated via calendar invites, Microsoft Teams handoffs, Slack channels, or directly within a Zoom meeting's sidebar.

Key use cases for twine include fostering relationships during employee onboarding, building connections and streamlining communication in all-hands and team meetings, and engaging participants in training events to boost productivity. The platform's 'Studio' feature provides hosts with comprehensive controls and detailed reporting, offering insights such as Net Promoter Score (NPS) data, participant connection maps, and the ability to easily duplicate and recreate previous room configurations. Hosts can personalize experiences by uploading their own conversation topics or selecting from twine's extensive library of curated questions, which includes templates tailored for specific event types like sales kickoffs and onboarding sessions. This functionality significantly reduces the manual effort and time typically required for setting up complex breakout rooms, especially when specific participant pairings are needed.
