How might virtual networking be better than in real life? |
- Easily find who you want to network with – search by name, job title, company or keyword
- Easily find where people are in the venue with the click of a mouse
- Make new connections easily – no need to know what the person looks like to find them
- Connect and communicate your way – send an email, a message, a chat, or start a video call
- Meet in a group – you can have a group video chat with up to 5 of your fellow attendees – easily find and connect to all of them
- Request private meetings with one person or up to 25 participants
- Add your conference schedule/meetings to your Outlook calendar from the platform – ensuring no clashes with regular work commitments
- When watching a presentation you can see who is in the audience and communicate with them
- Wherever you are in the venue, you can interact with others quickly and easily, maximizing your time
- And more – we’ll share with you soon!
