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.
How do I send a meeting invitation?
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.
My meeting invite shows as “Pending”. What does that mean?
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.
I’ve run out of meeting invites, how do I get more?
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.
