B2B Meetings - How does it work?
During this session you will meet with other individuals interested on Resilience via 1on1 chats via video call over the course of 20 minutes. You will not need to coordinate an external video call platform (e.g.:Zoom, Skype), as the meetings will be held by accessing this website the day of the event at the pre-arranged time of your meetings (make sure your timezone is set correctly).
You select the participants with whom you are interested to meet and accept/decline meetings proposed.
For a 20 minute session, each participant gets 8 minutes to introduce your organisation and expertise, share project examples, identify possible areas of affinity or complementary roles, exchange follow up information or if applicable, and set up a follow up exchange.
We hope these meetings help you build fruitful connections before the bell rings and your next resilience partner date appears.

2) Publish a business profile to showcase your needs
