How do I network at Collision?
How can I network with others at Collision
In the words of Forbes, Collision is “North America’s fast-growing tech conference”. Why? Because it allows attendees to network their way.
Our web and mobile apps are your key to meeting and connecting with people worldwide. During talks, you can scan the audience for people you want to meet and view their attendee profiles. From there, it’s simple to message anyone privately and plan meetings using your personal calendar, and contact companies or speakers for a video chat.
Your event profile is also crucial to networking with the right people. It’s what powers Mingle, which allows you to video chat in three-minute sessions with attendees paired with you based on your shared interests or industry background.
How can I start a chat?
Starting a chat with another attendee is simple. When you have found someone you’d like to connect with, click the chat icon next to the attendee’s profile picture.
You can also start a new chat through the bottom row of icons in our mobile app or via the icon in the top right-hand corner of the web app. Click the icon and then click the plus symbol to search for attendees.
You’ll be granted access to our web app when Collision kicks off on April 20. Watch out for an email from us with a link to log in to the web app.
How can I set up a meeting?
You can create a meeting with any Collision attendee or company using our event apps.
First, click on the individual you would like to meet. On their profile page you will have the option to request a meeting. Enter the date and time you would like to connect, fill out a name and description for the meeting, and you are ready to go! The person will receive a meeting request immediately.
You will be notified on the app once the attendee responds to your invitation.
What is Mingle?
Mingle is an opportunity for you to connect with the right people, based on the locations, interests and industry backgrounds shared on your event profile. Our software will match you with people we think you should meet, network with, teach, or learn from.
From there, you engage with attendees in three-minute time-boxed video calls. These quick interactions should get you talking about things you have in common (such as a recent talk you both attended). After the end of your call, you can view your conversation partner’s profile information and connect with them further, online or off.
Collision is all about meaningful connections; that’s why we don’t leave meeting the right people to chance.
What is explore
Explore is the part of the event apps where you’ll find recommendations to help you connect with others at Collision. You can discover our attendees, startups and partners, and find relevant people and companies we think you should meet.
On Explore, you can visit attendee or company profiles to connect, chat or request a meeting.
What is Breakout?
Breakout is a collection of video chat rooms within our event platform suggested to attendees based on their interests. They allow discussions to flow in smaller groups.
Join a breakout room to meet with world-leading companies, take part in masterclasses or speaker Q&As, or create your own room for group conversations. They are a great way to meet other attendees and companies, and join conversations about topics relevant to you.
