Matchmaking

To keep tickets free to the first 1000 publishers, brands and agencies, the event is sponsored by a group of savvy technology providers in the advertising industry. 

As a part of attending this event at no cost, we ask that each attendee & speaker agree to 2-4 brief networking appointments with technology companies you are interested in, and who might be interested in meeting you. Each matched meeting you take earns you a $25 Amazon gift card. You can select whether you’d like to take 2, 3, or 4 meetings. Most attendees only receive 1-2 matches per event, but you can do more if you wish! 

How does it work?

Each appointment lasts 15-30 minutes, and will be pre-scheduled. Appointments take place any time in the 4 business days after the virtual event, April 1-6.  

Appointments will take place on video conference. Meetings will be facilitated by AdMonsters, but specific meeting times will be chosen by YOU to suit you calendar. Once you select your time, the appointment is firm! 

How are attendees matched? 

Every attendee will be asked to fill out a pre-event survey. You can identify either the technologies that most interest, specific companies that interest you, or both. Sponsors also have the chance to identify the attendees/attending companies that interest them.

AdMonsters makes the matches, sends out a Doodle scheduling tool for you to select your meeting times, and then keeps track of how many meetings have taken place. 

What’s in it for me?

For every appointment you take (up to 4), you earn a reward of a $25 Amazon gift card, up to $100. All while learning about companies that can help make your life easier. Pretty sweet deal, eh? 

Note: you must be selected by a sponsoring company in order to be matched. Gift cards are distributed electronically after meetings have occurred.
