Exploring the Networking Tab

When going to the Networking tab, you will find three sub-tabs that will show you:

• Your Matches: people who have common interests as you (pink tags).
• All attendees: people who joined the event.
• Bookmarks: people whom you bookmarked to connect or follow up with during and after the event.

Suggesting a Meeting

1. Click on Chat/Suggest meeting.
   When suggesting a meeting, go to the attendee profile and click on Chat/Suggest meeting. Then, select a suitable time, and add a short introduction about why you want to meet this person.

2.    Await for an answer or react to the pending request.
Once you send the meeting, the receiver should accept, reschedule or decline your meeting depending on their availability. The steps shown in the video below show you how you can also take action on the meeting requests received in your messages inbox.

3.   Meeting accepted! 🎉
Once the meeting is accepted, an open chat will open in your Messages inbox located in the message bubble 💬 in the upper right corner. If the meeting request isn't responded to, the message box will close after the second message.
