How will participation work

How it works

After booking your participation

• Prepare your stand materials (videos, brochures, case studies) which need to be specific to associations

16 June onwards

• Upload your materials to the virtual conference delivery platform (VCD) and classify your services
• Staff register and set their profile on the VCD
• Set up template emails you will send from your system out to delegates who have connected with your or requested information during the event.

23 June onwards, Association delegates:

• Delegates will be invited to choose their sessions (many of which are limited in capacity) on the VCD
• On logging into the VCD delegates will complete their profiles and service interests

28 June onwards, Exhibitors:

• Research (e.g. at their website) delegates and their associations, that are on the VCD system
