## Author notes / illustrative keys where applicable

1. Identify how the format supported introductions while allowing people to report that starting conversations was easy.
2. Separate formats that enabled relevant connections from those that were simply entertaining.
3. Ask for a practical event change instead of assuming attendees prefer more structured interaction.
4. Check whether connections matched the attendee's interests; exchanging many contacts is not the same as relevance.
5. Find an introduction aid that lowers a practical barrier without requiring disclosure of personal anxieties.

Interpretation caution: Attendance alone does not establish that useful connections were made.


## Illustrative finding and follow-up

Observation: Example attendees appreciate the venue but struggle to identify shared interests.

Action to test: Provide optional interest prompts or small-group introductions instead of assuming more attendance solves the issue.

Follow-up: After testing the action, revisit this original observation: Example attendees appreciate the venue but struggle to identify shared interests. Repeat the relevant experience prompts with people who encountered the change. Compare specific explanations and sample differences; do not claim causation from the before-and-after responses.
