We built PassIQ because the alternatives weren't good enough.

PassIQ was founded by Anik — an event operator and technologist who spent years watching conferences fail to deliver on their core promise: connecting the right people.

The existing tools — PheedLoop, Whova, Bizzabo — were built in an era before large language models. They're workflow tools, not intelligence tools. They'll track your sessions and print your badges, but they won't tell you that attendee A needs to meet attendee B before the coffee break ends.

PassIQ is built on a different premise: the most valuable thing an event platform can do is surface the right connections at the right time. Everything else — registration, sessions, mobile app, sponsors — is infrastructure for that mission.

We're in public beta as of April 2026. We're working with a small number of event operators who share our conviction that the event industry deserves genuinely AI-native software.
