Q: What is Connect™?

A: Connect™ is a matchmaking and networking solution that helps to connect attendees with exhibitors before, during and after an event.

Connect™ has the ability to generate recommended matches for event participants based on precise matching criteria located within My Profile.

Attendees can generate a list of exhibitors who are their recommended best matches based on exhibitor match criteria and demographics in your chosen categories. Accurate matchmaking means users can get started with networking immediately instead of spending time on searching for matches.
