• None?  Have you activated the B2B meeting checkboxes?

• Only a few?  - The better your profile the more meetings requests you will receive.
  Often companies want to bypass the registration quickly and do not insert meaningful and qualitative organisation descriptions and collaboration wishes (I am offering ..., I am looking for ...). A low quality profile doesn't animate other companies to get in contact with you...

• Cooperation profiles give you the opportunity to publish and promote your collaboration wishes before and after the event.

• Event participants but also any other web user can find and read your organisation details and your published cooperation wishes.

• A statistical analysis of 500 matchmaking events showed that high quality profiles are visited about 50 to 150 times.

• The better your profile the more meetings requests you will receive at the end.

At a matchmaking event people meet and greet at high speed. Meetings take usually 20 or 30 minutes, which is usually enough to forge business/research/technological connections. Then the bell rings and the next meeting starts.

Each participant registers with a cooperation profile which will be displayed at the event website. Each participant can online select meetings with other participants they would like to personally talk to. A few days before the event, each participant will receive a meeting schedule, showing WHO he will meet WHEN and WHERE.

What are the benefits of participating in the matchmaking event?

All participants can present their expertise/projects/technologies online already BEFORE the event. The cooperation profiles will be extensively promoted. Participants can get in contact with each other already before the event and know exactly who they will meet at the event. A matchmaking event therefore presents a very efficient and focused way of finding new collaboration partners.

Click on the green button “Register" on the start page to start the registration process.

• Form 1: Event sessions, Payment options (if available), Remarks for the event organizers

• Form 2: Contact data (Person and Company) - Give some information about the organisation you are working for, its focus and areas of activity.

• Form 3: Collaboration profile (if you attend the matchmaking sessions)
  VERY IMPORTANT to receive many and high qualified meeting requests
  Properly fill in the cooperation profile and give details on e.g. technology/product/project, innovative aspects, current stage of development and the target partner sought.
  The cooperation profile is your virtual business card - the higher the quality, the more participants will select you for bilateral meetings!!!

The Participant is the person who will participate in the matchmaking event and who is responsible for the inserted profiles. Participants should indicate their contact details (especially e-mail and cell number) to be directly informed about registration, agendas, changes in the event set-up.

Booking is opened about 4 weeks before the event after most of the participants have registered.
You will be informed by email about the start of the booking.

1. Select the link "Participants" from the main menu.

2. Use the green button "Book meetings" which you can find on each participant profile.

Yes of course.

2. Use the button "Reject" to refuse a meeting request.

In case this event is operated in Opt-Out booking mode (meeting requests are by default accepted but can be rejected) - What is the reason behind?
Experiences have shown that less than 10% of the meeting requests are usually rejected. Therefore, the booking mode "Opt-Out" keeps the burden low for the majority (90%) of participants, by not asking them to confirm a request they are going to accept anyway. Results: less email traffic; less pending meeting requests waiting for approval.

Please inform the event organiser immediately.
If you have booked meetings/you have been booked for meetings, please get directly in contact with your meeting partners and tell them that you cannot keep the appointment.
