2) Make yourself visible through an outstanding business profile

COMPANY PROFILE

MARKET PLACE

  • Specify the type of partner you are looking for
  • A meaningful profile will generate significantly more meeting requests

The booking of meetings opens on Monday, 16 November or after a certain number of participants have registered.

BOOKING MEETINGS

  • Browse the list of attendees or check the marketplace profiles
  • Use the optional filters to easily find the ones aligned with your goals
  • Send meeting requests to those companies/persons you want to meet
  • Adding a short reason why you are interested in a meeting will increase the acceptance
  • Usually meeting requests must be confirmed by the recipients to be scheduled
  • Typically, date and time of a meeting is scheduled by the person accepting the meeting request considering the mutual availability.
  • Check every incoming meeting request and accept or refuse if not appropriate. It is a matter of politeness to let the requester know if you are interested in a meeting or not.
