The first step before meeting your potential business partners onsite is to set your networking availability:

• Go to the ‘Agenda’ page,
• click on ‘Networking Availability’ under Filters. There you will be able to click on the open checkboxes, one by one, to disable your meeting slots

Communication through meeting rooms

• You need to suggest, accept or decline a meeting; As soon as one meeting request is accepted, Brella will create a virtual meeting room for you. This meeting room will allow you and +3 colleagues or partners to gather and chat with the other party. You can test the Brella meeting before the meeting occurs
• You can invite up to three people to a virtual meeting. (Max. Four people can join a virtual room)
• Once you accept a meeting or get accepted, you can test it immediately
• You can attend the meetings through the web app or mobile app

How to suggest a meeting?

• Go to the ‘People’ tab from the left navigation. That’s where you’ll see your best matches
• Click on ‘Suggest Meeting’ on the contact. This person’s profile will open with their availability to network during the event. On the right side, you can see your time and your match’s local time to ensure the time is suitable for both of you
• You’ll be shown a text box before sending out the request when you select a time. Think of this like a homebuyer’s letter. It’s your chance to personalize your message and increase your odds of your request being accepted
• After sending the meeting request, your match can accept, reject or cancel the meeting. You can find your chat and Brella’s meeting room on the upper side of Brella (message icon)
• This time slot will be occupied until the match reacts (accepts or declines) to your request
• You can use Meetings filter in order to find your meetings on the Schedule
