Guide for exhibitors

During the conference:

Be active and check your incoming leads!

Generate contacts as a sponsor or exhibitor (video)

After the conference:

  • The platform will remain online for 4 weeks after the event

  • Export your leads before the platform is closed.

The platform includes the following functions:

  • Livestream of the conference program (main stage) with live questions and polls

  • Virtual exhibition and search for products

  • AI-based matchmaking

  • Chats with other participants

  • Schedule B2B meetings (video calls or on-site meetings)

  • Video calls via the platform

  • Online Speednetworking Sessions

Networking & matchmaking

  • All participants will have access to the virtual platform. They will be displayed as physical/hybrid or virtual

  • Accordingly, all participants from your company, e.g. the employees at your stand, automatically receive access to the platform. They can assign them to your company team.

  • We also recommend adding virtual members to your team, who can then participate in the conference remotely (free of charge).

  • Virtual team members do not necessarily have to be available around the clock on all conference days. The availability of appointments can be set up individually via the platform.

  • All members of your team generate leads for your company.

  • The AI-supported software supports your team in face-to-face networking on site and also connects you with virtual participants.

Generation of leads

  • Contacts who are interested in your company are displayed on your company's team page. These "live inbound leads" include visitors to your virtual trade fair stand, people interested in your products or your team and, if you have a keynote slot, visitors to your "sponsored session".

  • In addition, we recommend proactively screening the participant list using the filters and arranging meetings (online and on-site)

  • Once you have connected with a lead, you can export the contact details after the conference. Depending on which setting the person has selected, you will receive their name, company name, telephone number and email address.
