1-to-1 meetings (CONNECTS) are an important part of the conference and a great way to start and build professional relationships.
This year, meeting requests will be done through the Whova mobile app.
TIPS:
Watch the screen cast, at left, to learn how to make your 1-to-1 meetings.
If you have not already, complete this short Organizational Spotlight Survey to tell others about your program.
Use the Organizational Spotlight Report to find and makes notes about the best match of individuals or programs to schedule meetings with.
You must have and use the Whova mobile app to pre-schedule meetings.
Meetings are in 15 minute blocks. At 12 minutes, an announcement will be made that time is ended and individuals have 3 minutes to get to their next. Meetings should be scheduled during these official International Bazaar times:
-Tuesday, January 31 10a-12:00p DOS-to-DOS and 4:30p-5:30p All Delegates
-Wednesday, February 1 3:00p-5:30p All Delegates
-Thursday, February 2 10:00a-12:00p All Delegates
For ease of scheduling, have the app open on both your PC and mobile device. Use the PC to peruse attendees in a wider view and the mobile app to click into profiles and make meeting requests.
In your request, tell the recipient what organization you are with and what you would like to discuss at your meeting.
Please show professional courtesy to our presenters and sponsors by making and accepting requests that fall only in the above meeting times and do not conflict with educational sessions and official events as noted in the conference agenda.
When you get a request, please do not ignore or put off responding. It’s easy to accept, decline or suggest a new time.
If you need to cancel a request, you have to wait until the recipient responds and then click back into the profile and choose “cancel”.
