Watch a tour of the summit the platform to help you get started:

Complete your profile:

First, update your profile with a photo, a short biography and information about your company and skills.

The more information you include, the better the matchmaking tool can work, to increase profile views and suggested matches with the right people you want to meet.

Manage Your Schedule:

You can manage your schedule in ‘My Planner’ which can be found in the menu at the top of the page on desktop or on the homepage in the app.

Within ‘My Planner’, control your availability and view your meetings by selecting ‘My meetings’ from the left hand menu on desktop or the meetings (2nd) icon in the app. Here you will also find ‘My schedule’ (calendar (1st) icon in the app) where you will see the sessions you have added.

Send and Receive Meeting Requests:

You can see your pending or confirmed meetings in ‘My Planner’ and then by clicking the ‘My meetings’ tab on the left hand side on desktop or the meetings (2nd) icon in the app. You can cancel a confirmed or pending meeting by clicking ‘Cancel Request’ (if it was pending) or ‘Cancel Meeting’ (if it was confirmed). You can also manage your availability by clicking ‘Make unavailable’ for specific meeting slots.

Scheduling Meetings at an Exhibition Booth:

Each of our partners have their own virtual exhibition booth, where they can share information, links and documents. You can also book meetings with the company in the same way as you would an attendee and send them a message. If the partner has an onsite booth, this will be highlighted on its’ profile and you will be able to schedule a meeting at their onsite booth. Each company’s representatives are linked, and clicking on their names will direct you to their individual profiles. You can also view the agenda sessions in which partners are speaking.

Connection Request:

A connection request is sent when you send a message to another delegate. On their profile, you will see a ‘Connect with [name]’ box on desktop where you will be able to send them a message or click the connect button on their profile in the app.

The recipient will receive a notification that you would like to connect with them and they will be able to either accept or decline this. If you see an icon of two heads next to a contact, it means that the person has already accepted your request. If you see a clock icon, it means your connection request is still pending.

It is not possible to reschedule a meeting, whether it is pending or confirmed. If you want to reschedule it, you have to cancel it and book another meeting at a different time. You can cancel meetings in ‘My Planner’ under the ‘My meetings’ tab.

If your meeting at a 1-1 table has been pending for over a week, it will automatically be cancelled and you will receive a notification saying that the request was declined by the other attendee.
