Can attendees share their screen?
Yes, of course. Attendees can share their screen with one another during conversations by clicking the “share screen” button on the bottom of their screen.Few readersWhat happens if someone shows up early?
When attendees arrive early, they'll be able to review their profile, update their matching preferences, and then starting meeting people early. No need for them to wait for an arbitrary start-time. Or, if they want to wait until the event officially begins, they can do that too. We aim to make great use of every minute of attendees' time. So, no matter whether someone checks-in early or late, we want them to immediately start meeting people and building relationships. That is the goal afteFew readersCan I direct attendees back to my site after the meetaway?
Yes! We know that organizers are constantly looking for ways to drive awareness for additional programming they might be running and/or basic awareness of their company and offerings. And for folks integrating Meetaway into a larger event, it's important to ensure attendees get back to the main event. Meetaway offers organizers the ability to add a custom call-to-action that attendees will see after they complete their meetaway experience. We include this prominently at the bottom of the lasFew readersCan I give my attendees suggested topics or suggestions for things to talk about?
Yes! In fact, we provide three primary ways for you to address this: Event Title and Description - Attendees should understand the purpose of the event based on it’s name and event description. This context helps attendees naturally know what to discuss. Kickoff Video - We encourage organizers to create a kickoff video welcoming their attendees - this is meant to replace having to get up on stage and interrupting everyone’s conversations so you can provide context, set the emotioFew readersHow does Meetaway minimize webcam and mic challenges?
We want Meetaway to be easy to use so we have created a webcam test that attendees go through as they enter the event. If anyone has trouble immediately passing, we provide a set of quick fixes that are personalized to the attendee's problem as well as their browser and operating system. We also include short (10-15 second) video clips to show them which specific buttons to click to resolve the issue, and since it's personalized to their browser and opFew readersHow long should I set conversations for?
We recommend 10-12 minutes for business networking events and 7-9 minutes for speed introductions. The shortest we suggest an organizer ever set a conversation for is 5 minutes.Few readersCan my attendees share their contact information with each other during the event?
Yes! After attendees finishes meeting with someone, we will ask them to rate the conversation and will ask them if they'd like to share their information. After the event, attendees will receive email information from people that also wanted to share their emails with them. If one of your attendees is unable to find that email, please advise them to check their spam filter as they occasionally get caught there. But if the email does not arrive for whatever reason, let us know who they are oFew readersHow can attendees follow-up with the people they met at a Meetaway?
We make this simple! During the event attendees can 1-click share their contact information. Immediately after the event, we email each person a list of the people who shared their contact information along with their email addresses, making it easy to follow-up directly from their inbox. More Details Meetaway was created with the understanding that a great conversation or the right connection can fundamentally change your life or alter your career trajectory. Our goal is to make conversFew readersCan people attend a Meetaway on mobile?
Yes! All of our events automatically enable people to attend on mobile. That said, we do find that folks who are on desktop generally have a better experience themselves and also provide a better experience to the people they meet. So, you probably want to encourage your audience to attend on a laptop or desktop when possible.Few readersWhat happens if one of my attendees leaves during the event?
We find the vast majority of attendees stay for the entire duration of the event. Additionally, we match attendees in real-time so it’s not a problem if someone shows up late or leaves early - we automatically account for that in our matching.Few readersWhat happens if an attendee runs out of matches?
We understand attendees are busy and work to ensure that every minute they spend on our platform is put to good use. Attendees can run out of matches if your event is particularly small. For example, if attendees are scheduled for 6 conversations but only 5 attendees show up then attendees will run out of matches. If any attendees run out of matches, we will let them know that we have no further matches for them and ask them if they'd like to wrap-up the event early. We take care of many edFew readers
