Clicking the People tab in the Attendee App allows you to forge new connections with other attendees who joined the same event as you. The app's People tab has similar functions to those accessed in a browser. In this article, you'll learn the app's limitations compared to the browser's people tab.
Please ensure you install the latest app version to see the latest updates.
Access the People Tab in the App
Click the People menu from inside the event in Attendee App. The People tab lets you easily find attendees using search filters for name, company, job title, interests and other filters added by organizers. You can also search by clicking the sub tabs.
Who's here - attendees who have logged in to the event. You can click the profile tiles to see more information.
Who's coming - attendees that have not logged in to the event. The profile tiles cannot be clicked here.
Suggested - attendees who have the same interests as you.
Requests - attendees that you have pending connection and meeting requests.
My Connections - attendees that you have connected with.
Edit Your Profile
In the Who's Here tab, your profile tile will be the first tile displayed, you can click Edit Profile to update your personal information.
View Other Attendee Profiles
When you click an attendee from Who's Here, you'll see the rest of the information about the attendee. In the profile, you'll see buttons to request a meeting, connect and chat.
Note: The Who's Here tab displays the attendees who have logged in to the virtual event hub or the app. Manually checked-in attendees will not show in this list.
Request a Meeting
In the attendee's profile tile, you can click the Request Meeting button to send a meeting request. Enter the proposed meeting date, select a time zone from the dropdown and the preferred time slot, and enter a short note as an option. Click the Send Request button when you're done and ready to send the meeting request.
Important Note: The app's meeting feature only allows you to set appointments. Video meetings are available only through a browser.
Send a Connection Request
This feature allows you to establish connections with other attendees; it's much like a friend request. Staying connected is a way to remember who you interacted with during the event and a great way to expand your professional and social networks.
When you connect with another attendee in one event, you will stay connected in the next event you participate in.
Just click on Connect in the attendee's profile tile. The button will change to "Pending" after sending the request. The other attendee's button will change to "Accept" and once the attendee accepts your request, the button will disappear, and they will be added to the My Connections tab.
Send a Chat Message
You don't need to be connected with an attendee to start chatting with them. Click their profile tile and click the chat icon to send them a message. If you're already connected with the attendee, the connect button disappears and a chat button will appear
