Networking at APAC

so you want to network?

TWO WAYS TO CONNECT WITH OTHERS

  1. Networking bubbles (which will be explained on this page)

  2. Zoom socials — Bubbles not working for you? Don’t worry! Come to the after-APAC zoom social and connect with attendees in breakout rooms there! This is the PRIMARY place to mingle at APAC

Connecting with fellow attendees

  • In the networking area you will see a list of all of the attendees with their networking switch on

  • Simply hover over their icon to view their business card, swap business cards, start a 1-1 chat or start a video call

  • if you swap cards, their details will go to the 'business cards I've collected' section in your dashboard

  • If you request to start a video call, pop in an icebreaker message and give them a call. Their profile will ring and they will either accept or decline

  • If a fellow attendee requests a call with you, your profile will ring and you can accept or decline the call. Once accepted, you are automatically be put in a 1-1 video call with that person

Bubbles explained

  • Once you are connected with another attendee in a 1-1 call, a bubble is formed

  • The person who initiated the call can make their 1-1 bubble private so no one else can join

  • Or, keep the 1-1 bubble open so anyone can request to join your call or you can invite others in

  • All open bubbles will be listed in the bubbles area

Troubleshooting

  • To check the platform is working correctly for you, in any networking area you can click the 'connection issues' button

  • This will test your device in 3 stages: camera and microphone test, messaging connection test and a networking connection test

💡TIP - if your camera and microphone will not connect, this is likely a browser issue. You can allow your camera and microphone by clicking the small padlock (Chrome) or video icon (Firefox) in the top left hand corner next to your URL
