At Tjena, we help you boost your Return on Interactions™—because great conversations lead to great opportunities.
Whether you're organising an event, exhibiting at one, or walking the floor with big goals, one thing is clear: real ROI doesn’t come from just showing up. It comes from connecting with intention.
So let’s cut to it—does any of this sound familiar?
It’s time to flip the script and start making connections that count.

Wing People for booth exhibitors
Make your booth the place to be.
Tired of standing behind a table full of branded pens, hoping someone stops by for more than the free tote bag? We get it. The same old giveaways don’t build pipeline—people do. Let’s make your booth a magnet for meaningful conversations, not just swag collectors.
Who is it for
Exhibitors who want better traffic, better conversations, and better results.
Why it’s needed:
Booths are expensive real estate. But without the right people stopping by—and the right conversations happening—you risk leaving with empty leads and missed opportunities. We help you turn foot traffic into real traction.
How it works:
1. We get your goals pre-event.
2. We show up as your on-site Wing Person.
3. We drive traffic, start conversations, and make sure you’re talking to the people who matter.
Success story:
At the American Manufacturing Summit, we partnered with TXI—a US-based innovation and product studio—to turn their booth into a connection hub.
TXI had 7 guaranteed meetings included with their exhibitor package. With a Tjena Wing Person by their side, they walked away with more than 20 additional high-value interactions—nearly quadrupling their original engagement.
The quality of those introductions?
Decision-makers, partners, and collaborators that aligned with their growth goals.
Wing People for attendees
For the people who don’t have a booth but still mean business.
You don’t need a booth to make big moves. Walking the floor solo can feel like speed dating with no matches. Our Wing People turn solo missions into power plays—helping you cut through the noise and get in front of the right people with confidence.
Who it's for:
Solo attendees, founders, or sales teams who want meaningful connections, not just business card stacks.
Why it’s needed:
Walking the floor alone can feel overwhelming. Without a plan or warm intros, even the best intentions get lost in the crowd. Our Wing People help you navigate with purpose.
How it works:
1. Tell us who you want to meet.
2. We walk the floor with you.
3. We make strategic introductions and keep the momentum going.
Success story:
At Slush, an early-stage founder partnered with Tjena to connect with potential investors and collaborators. By the end of the day, she had booked four follow-up meetings and called the experience a “game changer.”
Wing People via event organisers
Boost your bottom line. Elevate the experience.
You already sell carpet, electricity, and badge scanning—why not offer something people actually remember?
With Wing People on-site, your event becomes more than just a gathering—it becomes a connection engine.
Whether you're upselling Wing People as a value-add for exhibitors, or embedding us to support VIPs and sponsors directly, this offer gives you two wins: increased revenue and elevated impact.
Who it's for:
Forward-thinking event organisers who want to increase exhibitor satisfaction, delight high-value attendees, and generate new revenue opportunities.
Why it’s needed:
Let’s be real—most networking is left to chance. And that’s a missed opportunity. Your attendees and exhibitors want more than access—they want outcomes. Wing People turn awkward small talk into strategic relationships, which means more value for them and more loyalty for you.
How it works:
📦 As a reseller: You offer Wing People as an upsell in your exhibitor package. We deliver it. You share in the revenue.
🤝 As a direct hire: We design a bespoke strategy, embed into your event, and ensure your most valuable guests walk away raving.
📊 Either way: We track results so you can measure Return on Interactions™.
Success story:
At a global media leadership summit, our Wing People supported high-level speakers and sponsors during networking breaks. One sponsor told the organiser, “This is the best networking support we’ve ever had—please do this again.”
And while our reseller model is already in motion with select partners, we’re collecting data and stories as we scale. Early feedback? Big energy and bigger results.
🪩 Connection Corner™
Where connections don’t just happen—they spark.
The Connection Corner™ is a pop-up social space designed to make networking feel natural, inclusive, and actually fun. Think of it as the event’s unofficial “VIP of vibes”—a soft landing zone where meaningful conversations begin and surface-level chit-chat ends.It’s more than a booth. It’s more than a lounge. It’s a curated experience designed to bring people together with intention (and a little flair).
Who it's for:
Event organisers who want to create buzz worthy networking spaces that feel less forced and more fabulous.
Why it’s needed:
Not everyone thrives in traditional networking setups. Some need an invitation, others need a nudge, and a lot of us need a comfy place to actually connect. The Connection Corner™ takes the pressure off and makes space for real conversations to unfold.
How it works:
1. We set up an eye-catching, branded Tjena Corner in a high-traffic area of your event.
2. Our Wing People host the space, sparking intros and facilitating connections.
3. Optional add-ons: conversation prompts, curated meetups, surprise-and-delight moments, and a low-key matchmaking board.
4. Attendees walk away feeling seen, supported, and socially recharged.
Success story:
At a creative tech conference, our Connection Corner™ became the go-to hangout for solo attendees, sponsors, and even speakers. One guest said, “This is the only space where I didn’t feel like I had to perform. I just got to connect.” Another? “I met my next client and my new podcast co-host here.”
Event design consulting
Design networking moments that actually work.
Sticky networking doesn’t happen by accident. We help you design intentional moments that foster connection—from layout and flow to tools and touch points. Because connection should be built into your blueprint, not tacked on last-minute.
Who it's for:
Organisers who want to embed connection into the event experience.
Why it’s needed:
Networking shouldn’t be an afterthought. From layout to programming, we help you build environments that make meaningful connection inevitable.
How it works:
1. We audit your event design and flow.
2. We recommend connection-driven tweaks and tools.
3. We help you create sticky, community-driven moments that deliver real Return on Interactions™.
Success story:
At Women in Tech, we helped redesign the event app to integrate the Wing Person concept. This created a viral sense of connection and sparked hundreds of introductions.
