Conference season

A side-event application is a request, not a ticket.

A conference trip means a week of side events, each with its own Luma form. This play answers three questions in one place: which events are worth my time, did the host approve me, and where do I need to be on Tuesday at 6pm.

For: Founders, investors and creators travelling to a conference

01 · Intelligence

Pick the events that fit who you are

For you opens on one sentence, such as I'm a Founder into DeFi, AI. Set your role and topics, and Best for you lists the three side events that fit you best, with the reasons in words.

  • Trips lists main events month by month, biggest first, with a Major tag at 100 side events or more
  • Hosts ranks organisers by track record, from Needs attendance to Established organisers
  • Match shows one card at a time: swipe right to add it to your picks, left to skip
02 · Access

Apply to the whole week in one press

Pick the main event, choose your days under When are you there?, and select Apply to all upcoming. The first time, Your details asks what hosts ask most, then Dopamyn reads every form before anything is sent.

  • How many forms are ready, how many it filled in for you to check, and how many it cannot do
  • The first 20 go out at once; the rest are parked and sent for you
  • A line shows sent, parked and when the next batch goes, with Stop the rest
03 · Proof

Only the host says you're in

Most side events are approved by a person, so Awaiting host approval is the usual result and can take days. My plan shows where every application stands and what still needs you.

  • Counts for going, pending and need you, with Answer or Retry on the rows that need you
  • Two events at the same time are tagged overlaps
  • Switch between List and Calendar, then Export .ics into your own calendar

Fine print, up front

  • Browsing Events is free. Your first 20 applications are free; after that, Events Pro costs $5 USD for 30 days with no limit on applications, and does not renew by itself. A Dopamyn subscription includes it.
  • Dopamyn sends at most 20 applications in any 4 hours, on every plan, so Luma does not block them.
  • Dopamyn applies to Luma events only. Paid events, events that register somewhere other than Luma, and events needing a wallet signature are left for you to register yourself.
  • Hosts send confirmations to the email in Your details, so use an address you read.
