Functions
What components does the platform offer?
The focus is on four primary components:
- Matchmaking that is supported by AI
- Streaming (live interviews, specialist presentations, panel discussions, start-up pitches)
- Direct contact with attendees, e.g. via video chat
- Speed networking
How exactly does AI-supported matchmaking work?
The matchmaking function draws on the interests specified by visitors when they register.
A calculation is run in the background to determine how well exhibitors’ and visitors’ interests match up. Contact recommendations are then generated based on this information.
Additional information such as movement data, search patterns and existing contacts can then be used to create additional contact recommendations automatically.
How can someone register for speed networking?
There will be five different speed networking sessions in which you can make new contacts quickly and easily in five-minute talks. Simply add the speed networking sessions from the event calendar to your personal calendar. You have until one hour before the start of each session to specify which other attendees on the attendees list you would like to get to know in a meet & greet.
Is it possible to set up business appointments (using a calendar)?
All appointments that you set up, as well as all events that you would like to take part in, are clearly displayed in a single location in your personal agenda. It is also possible to export this information to your external calendar.
How can a business appointment be requested?
Visit the profile of the attendee that you would like to meet. Here, you can click to show that you are interested in this contact. If they are also interested, a chat window will open. However, you can also request an appointment directly from the profile.
How can I get in contact with attendees via chat?
Go to the profiles of attendees that are relevant for you and click on the ‘interested’ button. If the attendee is also interested, they will be added to your contacts and you will be able to get in contact with them via chat. Alternatively, it is possible to request a virtual meeting (video call) at any time.
How can you enter a virtual meeting room?
As soon as a business appointment has been confirmed, it will appear in your personal calendar with a button linking to the virtual meeting room. You can click on this button five minutes before the appointment and it will take you directly to the meeting room.
Can matchmaking also be used to set up meetings before and after the event?
Yes, the extended duration of the Hypermotion Digital Experience beyond the event itself is one of the advantages of this format. The matchmaking and chat functions are available to you for a number of weeks before and after the event, allowing you to get in contact with attendees at any time. This includes users who are not logged in – they will be informed by email whenever they receive a contact request. On 10 December 2020 the platform will close – you will receive a reminder shortly before this occurs.
How many people can take part in a virtual meeting?
As many as 50 people can take part in a virtual meeting.
Can I also find contacts on the platform separately from the matchmaking process?
In addition to digital matchmaking, you can also find new contacts using the attendee list and exhibitor list. Furthermore, you can filter these lists using various criteria.
Do exhibitors have to proactively approach visitors?
We query attendees about their interests during the registration process, and these responses are automatically matched with those given by exhibitors. This information is fed into the AI-supported matchmaking process so that exhibitors can receive recommendations regarding which attendees are relevant.
In addition, exhibitors can also proactively search for attendees in the attendees list.

Profile
As an exhibitor, what do I need to do to take full advantage of my participation in the digital event?
The first port of call for every potential customer is your own company profile page – this serves as your business card. As a result, you should try to fill your company profile with meaningful information that arouses attendees’ interest and spurs them to contact you.
The content from the media package is automatically entered into the digital platform. In addition, you also have the opportunity add additional product pages to your company profile with image, video or PDF files to make it even more informative and attractive. Even so, always keep in mind that virtual events thrive on active communication by everyone involved! That means that the active participation of your sales staff is at least as important as creating a strong profile page. It is only by proactively targeting and addressing potential customers and partners that you will be able to achieve your desired sales success – and, as a first step, you will be supported by the integrated matchmaking tool.
What are the product profiles?
You have the opportunity to create individual product pages as part of the media package. These are separate pages that can be supplemented with a video, image and text to ensure that people are optimally informed about your product range.
How can I update the profiles of team members on the platform?
Option 1: First you must register on the platform
- Now log in to the platform
- A window will open automatically to ask about your preferences
- Please answer all the questions, as this information will also be saved in your profile and serve as a database for the matchmaking tool.
- Click on the highlighted field to enter your responses
- You can add to your answers by clicking on ‘+’
Option 2: You have already registered on the platform and want to go back and change your profile data
- Now log in to the platform
- Open your profile
- Change your profile image by clicking on the ‘pen’ icon
- Modify your entries by clicking on the response field(s) you would like to change
How can the company profile be updated?
The company profiles are filled with content taken from the media package. If you would like to make changes, please get in touch with your contact person and tell them the precise changes you would like to make.
What are the first steps for admins after logging in?
Admin Users are pre installed by Messe Frankfurt. As Admin user you will receive an email with your Login credentials. After successful login please look to the upper right hand corner and you will find „Team“. Within teams you can setup other users.
- Invite other users to also be a representative of your company.
- Users can be set up as „Team Member“ or as „Admin“
- Define availability of your Team Members during the event
- Set meetings with visitors, admins can also do this in the name of team members
Is there a deadline for registration and for completing the profiles?
There is no official deadline, which means that last-minute deciders will also be able to take part. Exhibitors and visitors are given access to the platform at the same time. It is a good idea to fill in your profile straight away so that you can get started with networking as soon as possible.
Can profiles also be modified during the trade fair?
Yes, the data can be changed via the media package survey and will be updated once each day. The profiles of the team members can also be adjusted at any time.
What is the ‘Teams’ function?
The ‘Teams’ function is available to all exhibitors and makes it possible for a company’s employees to work together. Team members can view their colleagues’ calendars, make appointments in their name and modify their availability information. Furthermore, all inbound leads are listed in the ‘Teams’ profile.
What is the difference between an ‘Admin’ and a team member?
Admin
The ‘Admin’ (administrator) is the person who creates the ‘Teams’ account and sends invitations to the other team members.
Unlike the team members, the Admin has the following rights:
- Edit the roles of team members
- Edit the profiles of other team members
- Invite additional team members
Team member
Team members have access to all the functions on the ‘Teams’ platform: they can arrange meetings (including in the name of other team members), view the entire team calendar etc.
Do all team members have to be online all the time?
It is not necessary to be reachable throughout the event. You have the ability to post the times at which your employees will be available in your profiles. We recommend that you ensure at least some availability of your staff even after the event has concluded so that you can take full advantage of the dialogue and interaction fostered by matchmaking.
Can team members be saved under specific topics or products?
Team member profiles can be filled individually as desired. The position of each team member is displayed in the company overview. It is not possible to include a product assignment in the team member profiles.
In what form can live streams and pre-recorded videos be integrated?
You can add pre-recorded videos to your profile during the media package survey. This might be a company video or a product video for each product page.
Furthermore, there is also the option of presenting a product in a ten-minute live stream within the framework of our event calendar. If you are interested, please get in touch with your contact person at Messe Frankfurt.
Leads
What are inbound leads?
Inbound leads are all the attendees that have visited the company profile, an employee profile or a product profile. Furthermore, all attendees with whom there has been interaction (video call / text chat) are also classified as inbound leads. The inbound leads are displayed in the ‘Teams’ profile and are accessible to all team members.
What data can be exported from the platform?
Inbound leads can be exported from the platform. No personal data is transferred when this occurs. If you have made a promising business contact, you must use the chat function proactively to request contact details such as email addresses and phone numbers.
