Networking profiles enable you to distinguish between two or more types of attendees of a networking session seeking to meet with other attendees. They make it possible to differentiate between a buyer and a seller or a participant and a speaker, in order to connect only the profiles with an interest in meeting each other.
Here's how it works:
- Go to the "Networking" module and select the session concerned.
- Click on the "Networking Profiles" tab, then on the "Start creating your participant types by clicking here" link.
- Fill in the general information specific to 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 you've saved, you will see a new option that will allow you to set up which networking profile is the one you are editing allowed to meet.
