Accessing OR & ODI Match is simple. First you must be registered for the current show. Once Match is open and you’re registered, you’ll receive a confirmation email from our show registration provider with your registration id. When signing up for Match, you’ll need to provide the email address you registered with and the registration ID from that confirmation email. Once you provide this information, you’ll be asked to create a password for the next time you log in. Then you’ll be able to access Match whenever you want before, during, and up to 30 days after the show. 

OR & ODI Match will be available Spring of 2025. 

To message other users in the app, you must both “show interest” in each other’s profiles. When viewing a profile, select “Show Interest”. The other user will be notified you’ve shown interest in their profile. If the other user also selects “Show Interest” on your profile, you then form a connection. Once the connection is formed you can start instant messaging. 

When you’re viewing a user or company profile, select “Request a Meeting”. From there you’ll be asked to select the meeting date and time during the show. You can also select either an exhibiting booth location or a place on the show floor to meet. 

If your meeting invite is listed as “pending”, it means the other user has not accepted or declined the meeting yet. It could be that they are not active in the platform yet, or they have not seen the meeting invitation. 

All users have a select number of meeting invites they can send. If you send out a meeting invite, that invite is used up until the meeting is “Accepted” or “Declined”. Once a user responds to your invite, you get that invitation back to use for someone else. If you have meetings that are showing “Pending” for a long time, you can retract those meeting invites to send out to others. 

You can download the mobile app from the App Store for iOS or Google Play for Android by searching “OR & ODI”. (Available Spring of 2025)

OR & ODI Match is open for 30 days after the show.
