Make the connections that count with partneringONE
What is partnering and what is partneringONE?
Partnering is the process where companies meet and build the connections which lead to successful business collaborations. partneringONE is the platform used to search for potential partners and schedule meetings, either in-person or virtually.
Partnering is different from networking.
Networking is finding something to discuss because you happen to meet.
Partnering is planning to meet because you have something to discuss.
With access to partneringONE you can search for potential partners, showcase your company, your assets, and your services, and schedule meetings during events. Instead of relying on chance, take a more targeted and strategic approach and improve your event outcomes.
Partnering is a key element of biopharmaceutical licensing and investment events, but can be offered at any event where 1-to-1 meetings is a priority for delegates.
Which events use partneringONE?
partneringONE is used at over 30 annual events. Your partneringONE login details gives you access to partnering at all events you are registered to attend, and you can import your profile from past events making it easy to get started.
What to expect at a partnering event?
To successfully secure meetings at a partnering event, the weeks ahead of the event are as important as the event itself.
We recommend publishing your personal, company and asset profiles as soon as you get access to partneringONE, this means when partnering opens you are ready to start receiving requests and sending invites of your own.
During the event, 1-to-1 meetings are held at tables or booths in and around the venue. partneringONE schedules these meetings for you at a mutually convenient time for both parties, and we let you know where your meeting is to be held. Meetings usually last 30 minutes but can last longer at some events.
