Networking profiles enable you to link attendee types to your networking session. In other words, to allow these attendee types to take part in the B2B meetings.
They also allow you to define which attendee types are allowed to meet with each other, or which attendee types can send a meeting request and which ones cannot.
Here's how it works:
- Go to the "Networking" module and select your session.
- Click on the "Networking Profiles" tab, then on the "Start creating your participant types by clicking here" link.
- Fill in the general information of the profile you are creating:
- Name of the profile (eg Seller)
- Can block time slots (can indicate slots of non-availability)
- Can cancel meetings
- Automatically blocks time slots that are already filled with activities from the program.
-
- Related attendee type (the types of participants going under this Networking profile, eg Participants and VIPs for a Buyer profile and Exhibitors for a Seller profile)
- Related attendee type (the types of participants going under this Networking profile, eg Participants and VIPs for a Buyer profile and Exhibitors for a Seller profile)
- Save.
- After saving, you will see a new option that allows you to define to which other networking profile is the one you are editing allowed to send meeting requests to.
- You'll also be able to customize the subject lines for meeting request, refusal, and acceptance emails, under "Meeting Notifications."
- In the "Time Restrictions" tab, you'll be able to block certain time slots for that profile, for instance, for breaks.
