Networking Meets Tech
Connector Technologies released a new mobile application designed to reshape networking. The app, called Connector, uses location-based AI technology to streamline introductions in order to help those who use it find connections based on shared interests and goals. The app's key feature, the Value Score, uses an algorithm to evaluate the potential of connection requests based on factors such as location and profile similarities. Users can manage personal profiles, receive alerts about nearby connections, and control the information they share. The ultimate goal of Connector is to find and build connections at events so that those relationships can continue to grow beyond those events.

That's a Wrap
Facet Business Communications Inc. seeks to address the waste inherent in trade show shipping by introducing Facet Baguette, a line of reusable fabric packaging. The idea was born from the mind of a trade show professional who was dismayed by the piles of plastic waste she witnessed at the events she attended. This new line of reusable bags is designed to protect and safely ship furniture, lighting, audiovisual, and other trade show components to and from events without creating heaps of plastic garbage that end up in landfills when the event ends. Each piece is designed and sewn in the company's Michigan facility. Contact: Facet Business Communications Inc.; Novi, MI; 248-912-0800; facetcompany.com
