N2 - Conference and social events provides an opportunity for people to interact and develop formal contacts with various groups of individuals. In this paper, we propose an efficient interaction mechanism in a pervasive computing environment that provide recommendation to users of suitable locations within a conference or expo hall to meet and interact with individuals of similar interests. The proposed solution is based on evaluation of context information to deduce each user's interests as well as bioinspired self-organisation mechanism to direct users towards appropriate locations. Simulation results have also been provided to validate our proposed solution.
