Matchmaking

Matchmaking is an ideal opportunity to initiate promising contacts in pre-arranged meetings.

Many of the potential interesting new connections during an event happen by coincidence both between exhibitor and visitor and also between two visitors. But how can you know which interesting potential partners are walking around on the exhibition floor and the conference? And how can you find out if they might just be looking for someone like you?

The B2B Matchmaking sessions offer all visitors, delegations and exhibitors the possibility to announce themselves and book other participants. In 30 minutes pre-scheduled meetings you ‘speeddate’ with the other participants to quickly find out what you have in common.

During the fair (November 15 -18) the onsite B2B Matchmaking meetings are planned on Thursday 17 November. If participants can’t have their desired meeting during the fair, the option is offered to book other participants for an online meeting just after the fair (November 21).

Participating in the matchmaking is free of costs, but an entrance ticket for the Formnext fair is needed to enter the fairground and join the onsite matchmaking.
