Prototyping MNE 2020 Matchmaking event

Matchmaking is an ideal opportunity to initiate promising contacts in pre-arranged meetings. 

People meet and greet at high speed. 30 minutes are usually enough to build connections, then the bell rings and the next meeting starts.

  • Select the matchmaking sessions you wish to attend to. You will be able to book meetings in the matchmaking timeslots of your preference.

  • Publish your organisational focus and your collaboration wishes via the marketplace. The marketplace enables participants to list their offer and request items and to search for suitable partners by using these items. Your profile will not be validated if you have not listed your collaboration wishes via the marketplace. The better your profile the more interesting it gets for other participants.
