Matchmaking sessions at IFAT - How do they work?
The matchmaking sessions at IFAT from 13 - 17 May help you to set appointments with potential cooperation partners.
1) Registration
Register via the Register button and indicate your availability for meetings by choosing so-called matchmaking sessions.
2) Publish a business profile to showcase your needs
Create a clear and concise business profile to raise your visibility on the b2match platform.
Your profile should describe who you are, what you can offer to potential partners, and whom you want to meet. A good profile will generate significantly more meeting requests.
3) Browse profiles of attendees
Go to the participants list to find out who is offering interesting and promising business opportunities.
4) Send & receive meeting requests
Browse published participants profiles and send meeting requests to those you want to meet during the event. Do note that you will only be able to request meetings with those participants who have indicated availability during the same sessions you have.
5) At the event
Access your meetings in My Agenda or Meetings, where you have your complete schedule for the event and the list of your meetings.
How to request a meeting?
- Identify promising participants on the Participants list or the Marketplace page on the event's website. Once you found a suitable meeting partner, click "Request meeting" to send them a meeting request.
- Use the Messages functionality to chat about common interests and availability.
- Click "View organisation profile →" to find out more about the participant and participant's organisation
- Check My agenda and Meetings for your schedule and your list of confirmed meetings. The location of each meeting will be displayed here.
Happy matchmaking!
