What are meetings?
Meetings at Brella are all 1:1 meetings scheduled before and during the event through Brella. The only requirement to have meetings at the event is to set up your networking availability.
Then, you can attend meetings in two ways depending on the event type you are attending.
Onsite and Virtual meetings are enabled depending on the event type you are hosting.
Virtual events can have virtual meetings only.
In-person events can have onsite meetings and virtual meetings.
Hybrid events have virtual and onsite meetings.
See below how these meetings differ. π
π» Virtual meetings

How to suggest a meeting?
π±On the mobile app:
Go to the Brella mobile app and into your event.
Check that you are in the People tab.
Find the person you would like to meet with and click Suggest meeting.
Select a time that suits you both, introduce yourself, and suggest the meeting.
After sending the meeting request, you will have the chance to send another message; it's your last chance to convince this person to e-meet you! After your second message, the chat will close for you until the match reacts to your request.
Lastly, you can wait for the match to accept, reschedule, or cancel the meeting. You can find your chat and Brella's meeting room from the upper right corner of the app.
This time slot will be occupied until the match reacts (accepts or declines) to your request.
