B2B Meetings - How does it work?
A matchmaking event is a quick and easy way to meet potential cooperation partners in face-2-face talks. 20 minutes run fast but it is enough to build first connections before the bell rings and the next talk starts.
Step 1: Register
- Register via the green "Register now" button.
- Registration for the matchmaking event is open until the end of the event.
- Select the matchmaking sessions you wish to attend to. You will only be able to book meetings in the matchmaking timeslots of your preference.
- Insert your contact details and a clear and concise organisation description (in english).
- Adding your picture and logo really makes your profile way more appealing to other participants.
- Publish your organisational focus and your collaboration wishes via the marketplace. The marketplace enables participants to list their offer and request items and to search for suitable partners by using these items. Your profile will not be validated if you have not listed your collaboration wishes via the marketplace. The better your profile the more interesting it gets for other participants. Even if your profile is approved and activated, participants will not be visible to others untill the booking phase starts on 17 October!
