Matchmaking at IceFish 2024

Attending a matchmaking event offers a convenient and efficient method to connect with potential partners for collaboration. 20 minutes run fast, but they are crucial for building initial connections as they provide a targeted way to meet potential collaboration partners.

1. Register for the event

   Register via the Register button.

2. Create your profile to showcase who you are and for what are you looking for

   Create a clear and concise profile to raise your visibility on the b2match platform.

   Your profile should describe who you are, what you can offer to potential partners, and who you want to meet.

   A good profile will generate significantly more meeting requests. Your profile will be visible before, during and after the event.

3. Browse profiles of attendees

   Go to the participants list to find out who you could meet at the event and who is offering interesting and promising business opportunities.

4. Send & receive meeting requests and messages

   Browse participant profiles and send meeting requests to those you want to meet during the event. Adding a meaningful remark why you are interested in a meeting will increase the chance that your request will be accepted. Usually, accepted meeting requests will be scheduled automatically. Thus you have immediate access to time and location of a meeting.

   Booking rules:
   - Everybody can send meeting requests to everyone
   - Incoming meeting requests have to be accepted to be scheduled

5. My schedule and meetings overview

   Access your meetings in My Schedule or Meetings, where you have your complete schedule for the event, as well as the list of your meetings. Don't be late!

6. Matchmaking Event

   • Shortly before the event you will receive your meeting schedule by email.

   • A paper version may also be handed out at the registration desk.

   • TIP: Download the "b2match" mobile app (iOS/Android) to:
     * get access to your meeting schedule on your mobile phone
     * be informed about last-minute changes (bookings, cancellations)
     * manage additional meetings on-site (send/receive/confirm requests)

Happy matchmaking!
