Business matchmaking

The IFSEC SA Securex 2010 Business Matchmaking Programme is a new, proactive pre-show platform enabling conference delegates, exhibitors, pre-registered visitors and sponsors to view profiles of participants and select who they want to meet at the event. As soon as you are confirmed to attend the event, the IFSEC SA Securex 2010 Business Matchmaking Team will profile your company and provide access to the online matchmaking programme.

The Business Matchmaking Team works four to six weeks in advance of the event, pre-profiling all confirmed participants creating individual matching reports, encouraging meeting selections and pushing meeting requests into confirmed interactions that take place at the event.

This programme enables you to be proactive before arriving at the event maximising the networking experience. By searching through event profiles, you can select exactly who you want to meet, send a meeting request and confirm all the meetings that will take place at convenient times for the meeting invitee. Online diaries allow you to track your meeting requests in a real-time environment providing up-to-date information through your private online matchmaking account.

All meetings take place in the IFSEC SA Securex 2010 Business Matchmaking lounge, at meeting tables or on relevant exhibitors' stands.
