2. Create your business profile 

Your business profile will be visible to all participants. The more information you disclose on your profile the easier it will be for other participants to identify you as a potential business partner. We recommend to add a MARKETPLACE item. With a marketplace item you specify your business offer or request. You can edit your profile at any time leading up to the event.


3. Register for programme sessions

Registration for the different programme sessions is open now. Please select the sessions you wish to join in the agenda.


4. Book 1:1 meetings

Your can book your own meetings. In order to do this:

  • 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;
  • accept or refuse meeting requests you have received according to your schedule and their availability.

Be active, not reactive.
Adding a meaningful remark about why you are interested in a meeting will increase the chance that your request will be accepted.

Your schedule
Your up-to-date meeting schedule will be visible at any time in your online agenda.
