The MedTech Connect Zone is open from 9am to 5:15pm on Tuesday, September 26, and from 8am to 12:30pm on Wednesday, September 27. When you book a meeting, you can base it off of the mutual availablity of the participants as well as the availablity of partnering suites. **Here are some tips to help ensure a successful partnering experience:** - Make sure your profile is 100% complete. You can populate your profile by pulling information from a past event or syncing to your LinkedIn page. - Personalize every meeting request – write descriptive subject lines and don’t be vague in the body of your request. Let attendees you’re requesting meetings with know what you have to offer. - Designate the times attendees can book meetings with you and mark yourself unavailable to avoid receiving requests during times you know you’ll be unable to accept - Search for attendees you’ll want to meet with using the system’s intuitive filtering tools. Search by job title, function, sector and more. - Keep your leads all in one place by adding potential partners to your favorites. - Stay organized on site by adding the sessions you want to attend to your personal agenda, a feature that keeps all of your confirmed meetings and sessions in one place. - Respond to all meeting requests, including declining users that you do not wish to meet with. - Turn connections into true partnerships by following up long after the conference has ended using the Message tool.
