HIGH-IMPACT NETWORKING WITH BRELLA

Meet the people who matter to you

We’ve structured GAIM Ops West to make it easy for you to connect with the influential attendees, speakers, sponsors and exhibitors. And you can use Brella, a new matchmaking tool to help. Here’s a step-by-step guide to making the most of your GAIM Ops West networking experience.

Brella

Sign in through LinkedIn, Facebook or Google, or create your own Brella account in seconds. Brella works on every device - web-based, IoS & Android.

Connect with the people that matter to you

Brella’s matchmaking algorithm suggests relevant attendees based on your business needs and offerings. Create quantifiable business opportunities with returns on investment you can measure.

Organize quality 1 to 1 meetings, with ease

Enjoy networking weeks before GAIM Ops West takes place. Book face-to-face meetings in only a couple of clicks. You can use the dedicated Brella meeting area at the event if you wish!

It's not only great for networking

Have the agenda, list of sponsors and floor map of GAIM Ops West at the touch of a button.

EXPLORE

The Brella event app and networking platform will open on October 7 and registered attendees can gain access. Take a look at your fellow attendees and think about who you’d like to meet.

Note you must be a registered attendee to take advantage of these opportunities. If you’re not already registered, click here.

Engage

Set up your profile in Brella, and let the matchmaking algorithm recommend people to connect with. The more complete your profile is, the more helpful the tool will be.


Connect

Reach out to other attendees through Brella, and start a conversation. Brella helps you schedule meetings before, during and after the conference. It's also easy to politely decline meeting requests that aren’t interesting to you.


Meet

When you arrive at the event, there's plenty of opportunities to network. The networking set up makes it easy to start a conversation organically. There's also a dedicated space for meetings set up through Brella if you want to make use of it.

PURSUE

After the event, follow up with your connections. If there's anyone you weren’t able to meet on site, you can still use Brella to connect with them. You'll also receive contact information for every presenting company, making it easy to connect with the innovators who caught your eye.

PLAN YOUR SCHEDULE

There will be hours of networking time built into the GAIM Ops West agenda. Please take advantage of the Brella app to schedule your meetings prior to the event. If you have any questions, please reach out to us at register@knect365.com.
