Hosting the ISG TechXchange: Healthcare & Life Sciences as a virtual event makes it easy for participate from anywhere. 

We understand that networking is a crucial aspect of any event you attend. Just because you aren't face-to-face with other attendees doesn't mean that you can't connect and engage. Our platform includes enhanced AI-powered capabilities for networking, allowing you to easily connect directly with like-minded attendees. 

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Registered attendees will gain access to the virtual event a few days prior to the event. Here's how it works:

1. Sign in to the Platform and Build Your Profile

• Sign in with LinkedIn, Facebook, or Google credentials to link your social media accounts to the platform. 
• You will be asked to select from curated interest categories that we set based on our deep knowledge of the Healthcare and Life Sciences industries. Together with the platform algorithm, these interests determine the best matches for you, so please take your time and choose carefully.  
• Update your profile by creating a profile introduction. It's a vital part of your profile, as it helps you stand out. Other attendees can also search for keywords in your intro, so be sure to include your unique offering. This could include what you hope to achieve from the event. There's a clear correlation between a detailed intro and higher meeting quality and satisfaction. 

2. Browse Top Matches

• Browse through your top matches and start qualifying your matches.
• You can search for attendees by using specific keywords or by using the interest filter.
• New users can be found under the People > Newest tab. 

3. Book 1:1 Meetings

• You may send meeting requests to any attendee inside the platform and also customize your message.
• Take a bit of time to tell your potential match why you would like to meet and what you will bring to the meeting. 
• During the profile-setup process, you will select your availability for 1:1 meetings throughout the day.
• If you have starred sessions in on the Schedule page, these will automatically block those times out, so you can continue to enjoy the live experience.
• If you receive a meeting request and the time does not work with your schedule, you can simply reschedule the meeting.
• You will be able to direct message your connection through Live Chat when the meeting request has been accepted or rescheduled.
• You can also sync our event app to your calendar.

4. Visit Our Sponsors 

• Explore our Virtual Booths and meet with event sponsors
• You will be able to view company representatives inside the virtual booth, chat with them directly, and send direct meeting requests for live demos and additional information. 

5. Follow Up

• After the event, follow up with your connections. If there is anyone you were not able to connect with during the event, you can still use the platform to network with them. 
• All your meetings and chats are saved to our account, so you can follow up with your matches event after the event has concluded. 

Growing your network has never been more efficient. We'll let you know via email the moment you are able to start connecting through our virtual experience platform.
