B2B Meetings - How does it work?
A matchmaking event is a quick and easy way to meet potential cooperation partners in face-2-face online talks.
20 minutes run fast but it is enough to build first connections before the bell rings and the next talk starts. The event will take place virtually.
1. Registration until 26th January 2022
You can register your participation by clicking the Register button.
Remember to insert your contact details and a cooperation profile on what you are looking for.
2. Set up your business profile
Create a strong business profile which will raise your visibility to others on this platform. Make it clear and concise. Your profile should describe who you are, what you can offer potential partners and who you want to meet.
A good profile will significantly generate more meetings. Don't forget your profile will be live and visible even after the event.
Remind to complete the Marketplace session (Product or request or service inputs: it will help you to find the right partner for the meeting).
3. Browse profiles of attendees and send & receive meeting requests
Go to the List of Participants to find out who is offering interesting and promosing business opportunities.
Browse published participants profiles and send meeting requests to those you want to meet during the event.
4. Request meetings: from 10th to 28th January 2022
You will receive an e-mail to remind you to start booking your meetings. Be active not reactive.
Adding a meaningful remark why you are interested in a meeting will increase the chance that your request will be accepted.
