Although you create your b2match profile when registering for an event, you can edit your profile at any time later. To make sure you have the best possible experience during the event, we recommend taking time to edit your profile carefully. Click your profile drop-down in the upper right corner of the event navigation and select Dashboard. In the dashboard’s left sidebar, click the pencil icon in the User info widget to edit your profile.
An organization profile can be created during registration in the Organization Details step. In this step you have two options: Join an existing organization or Create a new organization. Under the 'join existing organization' option based on your email address, choose 'Create new organization.' When you select this option, additional fields for the organization appear. Enter a name for your organization, choose its organization type and fill in the remaining required fields. Once you have completed all required fields, click Continue to proceed with the registration.
There are two ways to join an existing organization: by selecting an existing organization in the registration form or by accepting an invitation from the organization administrator. To join an existing organization in the registration form: based on your email address the system suggests existing organizations you could join. Under the name of each organization you will see the name of the organization administrator, which can help you choose the correct organization. Select the organization you belong to and click Continue to proceed with the registration process. To join an existing organization by accepting an invitation: once you have been invited by the organization administrator, click the 'Register for the event' button in the invitation email. You must accept or decline the invitation. If you accept, you can proceed with the registration and skip the Organization Details step, since you will automatically be registered within the invited organization.
The first step to adding representatives is to have created an organization profile during the registration process. Only the organization administrator can send invitations to join an existing organization. Inviting an existing participant: On your dashboard, click the name of your organization to go to the organization profile. On the organization profile, click the Representatives tab. Then click the Send invitation button. This opens the invitation modal for representatives. Enter the email address the participant used to register for the event and click Send invitation. The participant will receive an email notification that they have been invited to join your organization as a representative. The name of the organization will also appear on their dashboard. They can accept or decline the invitation in the Add Organization widget. Inviting a new participant: From your dashboard, go to your organization's page. Then click the Representatives tab and Send invitation. Enter the email address of the person you want to invite to the event and add as a representative of your organization. The new representative will then receive the invitation and link to register for the event by email.
Yes, you can register without an organization if the event rules allow it. In this case, the Organization Details step in the registration form will be skipped.
If you see the message 'Your profile is awaiting activation, until then you are not visible to other participants' after logging in, it means the organizers haven't done it yet. If you believe your profile should already be activated, please check the Contact page and let the event organizers know.
First you need to set your availability for meetings. Your meeting availability shows the time slots when you might be available for a meeting. It's important to make yourself available, otherwise you cannot send or receive meeting requests. There are two places where you can set your meeting availability. Set availability on the Meetings page: navigate to the Meetings page by clicking the handshake icon in the navigation bar. In the upper right corner under your avatar, click Availability. First, it's important to make yourself available by toggling the switch at the top of the page. Next, check the boxes next to the dates when you're available for meetings.

The participants list contains information about all event participants. If you find an interesting profile and want to schedule a meeting with that participant, simply click the plus symbol next to their name. Find meeting partners via the marketplace: On the marketplace you can find interesting marketplace entries that you might want to learn more about. The good news is that you can schedule a meeting directly from the marketplace with the person who posted the marketplace entry. Find the marketplace in the event navigation. Click the plus symbol next to the participant's name to open the meeting request modal.
Navigate to the participants list with all event participants by clicking Participants in the event navigation. You can also access the participants list through your dashboard. On your dashboard, click the Book meetings button to be taken to the participants list. To schedule a meeting with a participant, click the plus symbol. After clicking the plus symbol, the meeting modal opens. By default, meetings are configured as one-on-one. If the organizer has enabled group meetings, you can add up to 6 more members to the meeting. In the meeting request modal, you can add additional members and then select the date and time of the meeting. Available meeting time slots are highlighted in the calendar in a different color. When you select the meeting time, you see which participants are available or unavailable at that time. If some participants are unavailable at a given time, you cannot select that slot. You can also add a message that is sent with your meeting request to the participant. After completing all fields, click Send request. An information modal with all meeting details will then be displayed. Other participants will be notified of your meeting request as soon as you send it, and they can decide whether to accept it or not. Once they respond to your request, you will receive a notification of their response.
We recommend entering the meeting room before the meeting starts to test your microphone and camera. You will see a notification that the meeting has not yet started and when it will start.
You can reschedule meetings on the Meetings page. To get to the Meetings page, click the handshake icon in the event navigation. Find the meeting you want to reschedule and click the three dots, then Meeting edit. To reschedule a meeting, simply change the date or time of the meeting.

The participant will be informed of the changes you made and must accept or reject them. Before the participants respond to your changes, the meeting will be in a waiting state.

You can access the notifications drop-down by clicking the bell icon in the event navigation. 3. If the event feedback feature is enabled for the event, go to the dashboard from the avatar drop-down menu in the event navigation and click Take the survey in the Give feedback widget.
