Partnering is a process that begins well in advance of the event. With the support of EBD Group's partneringONE® service, finding and agreeing to hold one-to-one meetings with your target companies/organizations should be easy. Once you've registered for Partnering for Cures, you will receive information on how to set up your account in the partnering system.
The following steps outline the process:
Profile: Start by completing your partnering profile. This is a brief summary of your background and your organization or company.
Set your Agenda: Indicate when you are available to attend one-to-one meetings.
Search and Request: Search through other attendees' profiles and send messages to request meetings.
Respond: Log in regularly to respond to incoming requests, and to monitor responses to your requests.
Scheduling: In the final week before the event, EBD Group will schedule all agreed meetings, based on the availability of participants, to ensure everyone has the maximum possible number of meetings over the course of the event.
Personal Schedule: Your preliminary schedule will be available a week before the event. Your schedule will then be updated daily, including updates during the event. You can print your schedule with locations once you arrive on site.
EBD Group will guide you through the partnering process with a series of email updates and reminders. Full partnering, including requesting meetings and setting your availability, will become available approximately four weeks before the event.
Contact: If you have any questions concerning profiling or partnering, please contact the partnering administrator James Simmerman: jsimmerman@ebdgroup.com
