As part of your demo package, you have access to the ConnectMe networking app. On this mobile app, your company will have a profile where attendees can connect with your team for meetings and access more information on your company. This profile is referred to as a "virtual booth". Primary contacts for your account have been given access to the platform to build out your virtual booth. This guide provides instructions on how to edit your virtual booth.

Please reach out to Justine Comeau (Justine.Comeau@informa.com) with any questions related to ConnectMe.

Due by August 29.

Because demo companies have a stand in the exhibit hall, everyone must submit a form declaring they have reviewed and understand Informa's Exhibitor Health & Safety Manual and Code of Conduct.

Please download, fill in, and email the declaration below to Madeline by August 29.

Nominations open until August 27.

Note: Any forms submitted after August 27 will not be accepted.

All lead scanning runs through the event app ConnectMe. Demo companies are responsible for collecting leads at their physical demo stands. Information on how to scan leads will be shared prior to the event. Finovate will capture leads from attendees who watched your demo live, visited your virtual booth, and, at a later date, watched your demo on demand.

Lead data will be available during the event on our Lead Insights platform. Leads will be visible in the platform 24 hours after they are scanned.* Madeline will provide log in details prior to the event so that your team can get familiar with the system.

*On-Demand views will appear after the event and will be updated for two weeks.

Finovate has a room block at the venue hotel, the New York Marriott Marquis Times Square. Make sure to book your room at this discounted rate before it closes on August 15!

FinovateFall is in New York on September 8-10.

Demoing companies have a demo stand in the Expo Hall on the day of their demo (September 8 or 9). The Expo Hall opens at 8:00 AM each day.

You will receive a copy of your edited demo video within two weeks after the event. Please be patient as it takes time to edit all the videos.

This video can be used in your marketing, sales, etc. efforts. See the Marketing Brochure (above) for examples of how to use your video.

July 28 - August 15.

Only for speakers who have not demoed at a Finovate event.

In this first round of demo coaching, we’ll help you maximize the value of your time on stage by creating a demo that will engage the audience and clearly communicate why your product is innovative/interesting. We’ve seen quite a few demos over the years and have a lot of experience that we’re happy to share with you.

Here are some coaching tips and a coaching video to watch as a refresher.

August 18 - 29.

Demo coaching #2 is required for all companies.

In the second round of demo coaching, we’ll help you prep for your demo presentation on stage. Be prepared to do a timed dry run of your demo for detailed feedback.

All rehearsal slots are filled. Reach out to madeline@finovate.com for availability.

During this optional rehearsal, your speakers will have the opportunity to run through their demo on the main stage with full A/V and support from our demo strategists, Greg Palmer and Heather Stowell.

To edit your Virtual Booth, click on the Expo tab at the top and find your virtual hub. After clicking on Showcase, you can edit your booth by clicking on the Edit Stand button at the top right (see first image below). Note: Only booth representatives have the ability to edit stands.

Also, if your company's booth representatives are live on the platform, they will be highlighted in green in the Talk to the Team section, and attendees can click on their profile to send a direct message, schedule a meeting, or begin a conference call via audio/video within the platform. Your company will gain leads from any attendee who visits or interacts with your virtual booth.

All attendees start with maximum availability. To adjust this, click on the My Event tab at the top. In the left panel choose Availability, and you'll see all the times you're available to meet in green. To make yourself unavailable during one of those times, click on the time and it will turn gray. This means you're unavailable. Only times in green will be the available time slots shown to attendees when scheduling meetings with you (see second image below).

After clicking on the Attendees tab, browse attendees by filtering by attendee type or key word searching by company or name. You can also filter by networking tags, including the ones you selected when first logging in.

Helix matches are also a great way to connect with attendees who have similar interests or align with your networking objectives. After clicking on the Attendees tab, scroll through your Helix matches at the top. The platform automatically recommends potential matches based on relevant tags and AI.

To schedule a meeting, follow these steps: Click on the Attendees tab at the top and select an attendee by clicking on Book Meeting on their profile (see third image below). Select a day/time for the meeting, include a message, and click Send Request. Accepted meetings will appear on your schedule under the My Event tab in My Meetings, and you'll receive an alert in your notifications. Click Join Meeting when the time comes.

A few days after the event ends, ConnectMe will close and attendees will receive an invitation to the Streamly platform. As content is edited, it will be made available to watch on demand here, including demos.
