Occasionally, you may want to contact other participants through messages instead of arranging a meeting to know they are interested in having an enjoyable talk or in the service or product you are trying to showcase. In such cases, chatting with another participant can be a valuable way to determine whether a meeting should be held.
1. How to Send a Chat Message:
Mobile App
Open the menu and go to Attendees.
Find the attendee whose profile you’d like to chat with.
Click Connect, then click the Chat button at the bottom.
Type your introduction
Once you've written the intro, click 'Start the conversation' to send the message.
💡 If you’d like to continue the conversation with a face-to-face meeting, click “Suggest meeting” from the chat window and choose a suitable time. You can then join a virtual room together and discuss more easily.

If someone approaches you with a chat message, you'll get a notification for the first message, and it will appear in your networking tab, which can be accessed from the bottom of the mobile app (Navigation Bar)
💬 All new chat requests can be found under Networking.
