Some events run a managed meetings program. You pick the people or companies you want to meet, and the organizer schedules the meetings for you.
Where to find it
Home: a card with the program's name and its current stage. Select it to open the program.
Mobile app: Menu > the program's tile. The organizer chooses its name and icon.
Web app: the program's name in the left menu. In windows narrower than 768 px, open Menu > the program's tile.
You only see a program if the organizer added you to it. If you expected a program and don't see it, contact the organizer.
How the program page works
The program page shows the program's name and description, the current announcement and a timeline, for example Timeline 2/3:. Select the timeline title to see all stages. Each stage shows its status:
Ongoing · Closes <date>
Up next · Opens <date>
Completed · Closed <date>
Opens <date>, Closes <date>
Not scheduled yet
During the picks stage, a card shows your progress, for example Make 25 to 50 picks and 3 / 50. It reads Action required until you reach the minimum, then Completed.
Make your picks
Open the program and select the picks button, Request meetings (or the text your organizer chose). The button works only while the picks stage is open.
On Your picks, browse the list. Use Search by name, title, ... and the filters to narrow it down.
Select the circle on a card to pick it. Select it again to remove the pick.
To see more first, select the card to open the profile, then select Pick. The button changes to Picked.
When you have enough picks, select Continue.
What you see on Your picks:
Interested in you: people who already picked you. If they added a note, the card shows "<name> commented: <note>". The section appears once someone picks you, unless the organizer has turned it off.
All participants: everyone else on the other side of the program.
The organizer decides whether you pick people, companies, or people listed under their company.
The footer shows your limits, for example Make up to 50 picks and Min. 25 required · 47 picks left. Continue works once you reach the minimum.
Your picks save when you select them. You don't need to finish the next steps for them to count.
Prioritize your picks
This step appears only in some programs.
On Prioritize picks, drag a pick by its handle into the top group, Must meet (or the name your organizer chose). Picks below the Interested heading stay regular picks.
Drag picks up or down to set their order. The footer shows how many priority picks you can choose, for example "Drag to prioritize up to 5".
Select Continue.
Add a message
On Add a message, select a pick.
Enter a short note to your meeting request (up to 1,000 characters) and select Save. An icon on the row shows that the pick has a message.
Select Done to go back to the program page.
What happens next
A pick is not a meeting request. Nobody gets a notification when you pick them.
After the picks stage, the organizer schedules meetings from the picks. Picks where you and the other person picked each other come first. Your priority picks and your order also count.
Your meetings appear in My Schedule and Networking with the label Arranged by organizer (or your organizer's label). You don't get a notification when they are added. Check My Schedule after the picks stage closes.
The organizer can create the meetings as drafts first. Drafts don't show in the app until the organizer confirms them.
You get a push notification 5 minutes before each meeting. See Meetings arranged by your organizer.
Good to know
You can only pick people or companies on the other side of the program.
The organizer sets the minimum and maximum number of picks for you. Your limits can differ from other participants' limits.
If the organizer shows interest on cards, the people you picked see you under Interested in you, with your note.
You can change your picks until the picks stage closes. Some programs have a second picks stage.
Select the help icon at the top of the picks screens to see the stage's announcement and description.
The organizer can see your picks and can add picks for you.
Troubleshooting
