Setting up Meetings

Business Connect is a key icebreaker of the summit - it enables quick-fire introductions and targeted networking!

  • Complete your profile: Fill in a bit about yourself, what you do at your company. We can match you based on what you select.
  • Sending out requests? Always send a brief message with your meeting request. Write what you can offer and personalise it! Remember - our industry practitioners get heavily inundated with requests.
  • Not hearing back? Contact your account manager with the names of people who you wish to meet with. We will do our best to help you build your network.

 

2 Hour One to One

This is it - your time to shine! Our marketers will be meeting with a number of people, here are a couple of tips for the afternoon!

  • Be memorable; you can bring something to hand out or leave with the person you have met with to remember your company by such as a one pages and/or branded swag
  • Come prepared; you only have 10 minutes with each person you have booked to meet. Do your research on those meetings you have set up - don't go in with a hard sell - have a conversation and back it up with case studies
  • Have your schedule ready; the team will give you a map of registration - we are here to help if you have gaps to fill.
  • Scan every badge for every person you meet with so you have their details in your contact list at the end of the event to follow up with.
