To be covered


Intro

What are meetings?

Meetings at Brella are all 1:1 meetings scheduled before and during the event through Brella. The only requirement to have meetings at the event is to set up your networking availability.

Then, you can attend meetings in two ways depending on the event type you are attending.

Onsite and Virtual meetings are enabled depending on the event type you are hosting.

  • Virtual events can have virtual meetings only.
  • In-person events can have onsite meetings and virtual meetings.
  • Hybrid events have virtual and onsite meetings.

See below how these meetings differ. πŸ‘‡ 

  •  πŸ’»  Virtual meetings
    • You need to suggest, accept or decline a meeting; Brella will arrange the meetings on your behalf.
    • You can invite up to three people to a virtual meeting. (Max. Four people can join a virtual room).
    • Once you accept a meeting or get accepted, you can test it immediately. (How to test room)
    • You can attend the meetings through the web app or mobile app.
    • You can attend virtual meetings if you're attending is a virtual or hybrid event.

        • You need to suggest, accept or decline a meeting; Brella will arrange the meetings on your behalf.
        • Onsite meetings are hosted at the venue.
        • Once you accept or your meeting gets accepted, Brella will arrange the meeting for you and assign you a table number in the chat of your meeting, OR you will be given the freedom to choose a random place to meet with the other party inside the venue.
        • You can also attend the meeting at the Networking Area of the event venue. Ask the organizers if there is one at the event or check the venue map on Brella here. (Show map)
        • You can also attend the meeting through the virtual room if needed.
        • You can attend meetings onsite if the event you are attending is hybrid or in-person.

      4. Select a time that suits you both, introduce yourself, and suggest the meeting.
      5. After sending the meeting request, you will have the chance to send another message; it's your last chance to convince this person to e-meet you! After your second message, the chat will close for you until the match reacts to your request.
      6. Lastly, you can wait for the match to accept, reschedule, or cancel the meeting. You can find your chat and Brella's meeting room from the upper right corner of the app.
      7. This time slot will be occupied until the match reacts (accepts or declines) to your request.
