The People Tab

One of the main reasons people attend conferences is to connect with others and expand their professional and social networks. Through the People tab, attendees can send private messages to other attendees and have one-on-one video meetings with people they meet in the virtual event! The People tab is available on the event hub through a browser and the attendee app.

To hide the people tab from the browser and the attendee app, you can disable the feature.

The People tab has subcategories to easily find attendees:

When looking at the attendee tile in the Attending tab, you'll see different buttons depending on the status of your request or the privacy permissions they have granted. Some will also have a label and a checkmark on top. If you click on the attendee's profile picture, you'll see the rest of the information about the attendee. You can also search and filter attendees.

To find attendees without having to scroll all the way down, you can use the Search option and type in the attendee's name, company, job title, or interests.

The Filter option can give more options to narrow down your search as you can filter depending on other information they provided during registration. These filters can be customized by event organizers based on the order form questions.

The Connect feature allows attendees to establish connections with other attendees; it's much like a friend request. Staying connected is a way to remember who attendees interacted with during the event and a great way to expand their professional and social networks.

Once connected, the video call icon will appear (if the attendee has enabled it in their settings) as only connected attendees can initiate video calls without setting a meeting. Attendees may also download their connection's contact information on their Profile's Meetings & Connections.

The Attendee App has similar buttons, and attendees can also scan each other's QR code to open the other attendees' profiles and click the connect button from there.

Event organizers can customize which information can be included in the downloaded file through Engage > Networking > Connections

The Video Button starts a video call with an attendee through the virtual event hub. The video call option is not enabled as a default, and only attendees connected can call each other.

Attendees need to turn on this feature in the Profile Privacy Setting to show the call button in their profile so that attendees who they're not connected with can call them.

When the Chat Button is clicked, it opens a private chat thread with that attendee. All attendees will have the chat button in their profile unless they've turned off this in their Profile Privacy Settings.

To see all the direct messages to other attendees, hover on the chat area, click the left arrow that appears, and go to the Direct Messages tab.

The Meet Button opens a menu where attendees can request to meet and enter all the appointment information.

To view all meetings, click the Calendar icon on top of the browser. From the My Agenda menu, the video call can be initiated, confirmed, canceled, or rescheduled. In the Attendee App, meetings can be accessed through the My Meetings button in the lobby.

Interest Tags can appear in an attendee's profile by filling out the Interests field in the registration. They can choose from a dropdown or enter their own interest. When they enter the event, they can also go into their profile's interests section to update it.

If other attendees select the same interests as you, you will see their profile tile in the Suggested For You tab. This feature streamlines the process of finding like-minded individuals, making it effortless to connect with those who share your passions.

The Attendee Profile Label is an optional feature that adds a label on the upper left corner of an attendee's profile tile. With this label, you can quickly identify what type of attendee they are without having to open their profile.

A profile label order form field can be added and registrants can fill it out while buying a ticket, and the information will automatically appear in their profile or attendees can open their profile settings when they enter the event and update it from there.

During the registration process, attendees can fill out this information, or update it in their profile's basic details when they enter the event.

Check the "Make me visible for other attendees" box when registering for the event.

In the Profile Privacy menu, enable the toggle to "Share my profile information on the People tab during events I attend."

Enabling or disabling the other options In this privacy settings menu will show or hide buttons on the attendee profile tile (Meet, Chat, & Video Call). The Connect button cannot be disabled. Attendees can hide their profiles from the People tab to prevent other attendees from sending connection requests.
