Shortlist connects you with the handful of people you don’t know, but should, at professional conferences and trade shows. It works as the founder says, 
“at an accelerating serendipity. Great connections happen at any kind of event. We think Shortlist can increase your odds of making great a few more great connections that may not otherwise happen. That’s accelerating serendipity.”
Say you are at an event, so do you get connected through Shortlist?
You can start connecting as soon as you register for an event. Once you sign in and connect with LinkedIn and your other social profiles, Shorlist will ask you a couple of intent-based questions to match you up with other folks you should probably get to know at the event.
Can Shortlist allow me to register at any event?
You can register through Shortlist for free, invite-only events. They also sync up with registration platforms like Eventbrite and Cvent. Shortlist is really meant to take the hand-off from registration and immediately begin the event experience.
