B2B Meetings 

How does it work?

 
On both June 6th and June 7th, we have planned physical B2B sessions where we facilitate 1:1 meetings with pre-selected counterparts; a quick and easy way to meet potential partners in 20-minute meetings. Please follow the next steps to arrange your own meetings and make your matchmaking a success:

  1. Go to your profile page, and click "Yes, I will participate in the B2B meetings"
  2. Make sure to "update" your profile with the required information
  3. Select your "areas of interest" to be offered custom meeting recommendations
  4. Browse the list of participants by clicking again on "B2B Meetings" in the top menu, then on "Participants list"

How will the "B2B meetings" sessions unfold?
Several "B2B Meetings" sessions are planned on June 6th and 7th, and will take place physically on the event premises. 
Each session will consist of a series of 20-minute slots: you can meet another participant during each of these slots
How can I ask for meetings?
Once registered to the "B2B meetings", you will be able to contact other participants and ask them for meetings.
To do so,  you can click on the "B2B meetings" tab of the top menu, then browse the list of other participants.
If you want to meet another participant, click on the "Contact" button, and choose "Add a meeting to the request"
In the meeting request, choose the timeslot that best suits you.
Once the other person has accepted the meeting, you will be assigned a table for your meeting.
Where can I access my meetings agenda?
You can access your B2B meetings planning by clicking on the "My agenda" button.
Be sure to check it regularly for updates!
