Aren't you curious?
b. square is the B2B matchmaking platform that meets pre, in and post-event needs, from participants’ subscription and interaction to the arrangement of 1:1 meetings onsite, hybrid and online and activities and exportable materials for reports and statistics, used in Film Festivals and business events worldwide.
I am your digital assitant
b.square is based on an optimization algorithm implementation of an operative research heuristics that elaborates an unlimited number of appointments autonomously.
The aim of such algorithm is to create and to deliver the best agenda possible by:
- elaborating the accepted meetings among the total number of the appointment requests ;
- considering the degree of importance attributed to participants and meeting requests;
- criss-crossing the availability time of both interlocutors;
- generating the highest number of meetings possible in a specific date and time of the main event;
- managing the so-called Panels, namely any side events that can be included in the participants' agenda (e.g. Open Ceremony, Pitchings, Round tables, Jury meetings, private group of meetings);
- sending a final e-mail to users with their final agenda.
We care about your attendees
b.square is designed to increase participants' satisfaction and to help organizers easily meet their attendee's needs or preferences.
Every participant can assign an importance value based on a star-rating system to the accepted meetings: b.square will elaborate the agendas taking into consideration such parameters.
In addition, Admins can influence the optimization of agendas by assigning different "weights" to participants: the higher the weight, the more important the participant.

Varadila Nurdin
In-Docs
Docs By The Sea Program Director
Bsquare provided an effective solution for when Docs By The Sea International Documentary Forum had gone digital for the first time. It is easy to navigate around the platform with an amazing flexibility for the administrator to customize the features and monitor each meeting request/appointment smoothly. Without Bsquare, it would be a very gruelling process to set up 1to1 meetings between filmmakers from our region with industry representatives across continents and time zones.

International Film Festival & Awards Macao (IFFAM) INDUSTRY HUB
Head of Industry
One-to-one Project Meetings has been an integral part of the IFFAM Project Market since its inaugural edition in 2016. With each year scheduling meetings for approximately 250 participants, we are fortunate enough to work with Bsquare since 2018. The meeting platform has greatly simplified and speeded our scheduling process. Software interface for participants and the back-end for organizers are designed as friendly and intuitive as they possibly can be. We also feel very thankful to the staff for their prompt support whenever we need.
Tomas Prasek
Eventival
CEO
In 2017, Eventival considered the development of a one-to-one meeting platform that could be used by its film festival and event clients from all over the world. Knowing that this would have to be a huge development work, we also looked around for potential partners with whose existing platforms we could integrated - and that is how, thanks to our client Torino Film Lab, we discovered Bsquare. We have been working together ever since, constantly improving the integration between our platforms, and are very happy about this partnership.

SlowFood - Taste
B2B Organizer
Organizing foodMood b2b events has been really easy with b.square! The platform makes it simple for users to manage autonomously their agenda, so that they require little support by the organizer. It helped me to handle meetings for 500 participants, who took part at the international events Terra Madre Salone del Gusto, Cheese and Taste Festivals. Since it made it possible to optimize the agenda of such a great number of users, to schedule the highest possible number of events and to save me lots of time, I strongly recommend it!
