Speed dating for organizers
You host the evening. AOA handles seating, rounds and matches
Guests get their table and partner in Telegram, vote after each round, and mutual matches receive each other's contacts the same evening. You bring the venue, the host and a tap on “Start group”.

How it usually goes
Two hours of conversations take several evenings of spreadsheets
Manual seating
The who-sits-where plan is drawn up in advance, and when someone doesn't show, it gets redone five minutes before the start.
Paper cards
Guests tick boxes after every round, and late at night the organizer goes through them looking for mutual matches.
Contacts the next day
Results go out by hand when half the conversations are already forgotten, while guests DM to ask whether they matched.
With AOA the system seats only checked-in guests, and mutual matches reach guests on their own as soon as the group finishes.
How the evening works
What AOA does at every stage of the evening
Event and tickets
Pick the Speed Dating format in the event builder, set age groups and round length. Tickets for women and men can have their own price and seat limit: guest gender and age are checked against the profile, and the format is always 18+.
Entry
Guests check in like at any AOA event. Splitting them into groups takes one tap and includes only those who showed up.
Rounds
Everyone meets everyone across the table exactly once. Before each round the bot sends guests their table and partner number, and the timer advances rounds on its own with time to switch seats.
Votes and contacts
Guests vote in Telegram or on the event page. After the last round there are a few minutes to finish voting, then AOA finds mutual matches and sends contacts via Telegram and email.
Host panel
A host panel that forgives mistakes
The host watches the room, not the screen. When something goes off plan, fixing it takes one tap.
- Pause and an extra 30 seconds when conversations are in full swing
- Go back to the previous round if “Next” was tapped too early: guests get a message
- Restore a group that was ended by accident, right where it stopped
- A guest left: mark them, and the remaining rounds are rebuilt with no repeat pairs
- Control from Telegram: round buttons and a live panel showing how many guests voted and how many mutual matches there are so far
What happens without you
What the host doesn't have to think about
In the room you only see a timer and pairs. Underneath, the system keeps track of everything that a paper evening leaves to the organizer's memory.
Server-side clock
Rounds change on time even if the host's laptop closes or the phone dies. The game keeps going on its own.
Breaks take turns
When there are more women than men or the other way round, breaks are spread evenly: nobody sits out several rounds in a row.
The last round's vote isn't lost
After the final round guests have a few minutes to finish voting, and the bot reminds them about unrated rounds.
One-sided stays private
A participant learns about interest only when it's mutual. You see all votes in your panel.
Live and after the evening
What you see during the evening and after it
Votes and matches live
A full-screen vote table, round history with the share of mutual matches, and an estimated finish time.
Prize draw
A random winner among active participants: those who left don't take part, and a previous winner can't win again. The winner gets a message automatically.
Guests stay in your base
Everyone who came stays among your organization's guests, so you can announce the next evening to them. Other organizers can't see your base.
Honest limits
What's still on you
A room with numbered tables, a host and someone at the door. Guests need an AOA account with date of birth and gender in the profile: without them the system can't place a person in a group.
You can run your first evening alongside your usual paper cards, so the backup stays at hand.
The format is available on any plan. Free events have no fee; for paid tickets the AOA fee is 5%, or 1% with a subscription. The bank fee is the same either way.
No. Table, partner and voting come through the AOA Telegram bot, and without Telegram everything is on the event page in the browser.
The schedule handles it: there are as many rounds as it takes for everyone to meet everyone, and breaks rotate.
Yes. Groups are isolated: each has its own rounds, timer and results, and a guest lands in a group by the age in their profile.
Only checked-in guests are paired. If a guest leaves, mark them as left, and the remaining rounds are rebuilt with no repeat pairs. You can also bring them back into the game.
You do, in the event panel. Participants see only mutual matches: the other person never finds out about a one-sided yes.
Yes. The event panel opens in a phone browser, and the Telegram bot has round controls and a live panel: how many guests voted, the yes rate and mutual matches so far.
As soon as the group finishes, everyone gets a list of mutual matches with contacts in Telegram, by email and in the app: Telegram or the profile page. Those without matches get a short message without contacts.
