How it works

How it works

This networking event presents an ideal platform to identify technology and business partners, through pre-arranged meetings. You simply need to register, present yourself, your company or organisation and your technology online and select interesting partners before the event. The earlier you submit your collaboration profile, the more visibility it will receive.

Important steps:

1. Registration

Register separately for the Technology Forum 2020 Congress and the Matchmaking Event. More information provided in “Registration” tab.

2. Create a profile

Create your profile to present to other participants your activity, expertise and more. Describe what you offer or request.

3. Book meetings

Request meetings from participants. A request is accepted automatically, unless it is declined. The meeting selection will start on September 2.

4. Personal agenda

Few days before the event, organisers will schedule all meetings. 1 day before the event, on December 1, you will receive your personal agenda with exact times of meetings.

How does the remote 1:1 networking work?
1:1 meetings are managed remotely via video calls (similar to Skype). The video conferencing is provided by the b2match platform – no need to install any software.                                                                                                                                               
All confirmed meetings display a Start Meeting button and date & time of the meeting. Once the time for the conversation has come, click the Start Meeting button                                                                          
What happens if your meeting partner doesn't show-up?
Go to the Message button and request to join the meeting.If this should fail, please re-schedule the meeting to another suitable date/time.

• Keep an eye on 1:1 meeting timelines (Start/End)
