MatchMaker Service
for Personal Onsite & Online Introductions

Autotech Council's MatchMaker Meeting Service facilitates personal introductions focused on technology discovery and partnership development via pre-arranged, private, onsite or online, 15-minute meetings.

MatchMaker participants set their preferences, objectives, and (if relevant)  technology and product information in our Portal well in advance of the meeting. Then, in the run up to the meeting and on the meeting day, participants log in to request, accept, reschedule or decline meetings with other attendees  Meetings are automatically scheduled based on attendees availability and automatically allocated an onsite table or an online Zoom link as appropriate.  Meetings generally run 10 to 15 minutes and can include multiple representatives from each company at the table or in the virtual meeting room.

Onsite on Thursday and online the following day, delegates will benefit from a series of meaningful introductions over concise, private meetings in a condensed timeframe. On average, delegates who use our MatchMaker service get more introductions and more continuing conversations than they expected.

HOW IT WORKS

Taking networking beyond the serendipitous, Autotech Council's MatchMaker Service encourages delegates to plan their networking strategy and focus on those companies who are best placed to move their business goals forward. The system automatically selects mutually convenient times to meet and, when confirmed, automatically allocates a table or video link for the meeting. With built-in messaging available before and after the event, the face-to-face meetings commence without pre-amble and follow-up is easy.

  • Fill your schedule in advance with back-to-back meetings in your prefered location - onsite or online
  • Filter companies to find the right technology match
  • Filter people to find the right partnership match
  • Include extra people from your company to move the conversation forward more quickly
  • Take advantage of extra information to be better prepared for each meeting
  • Continue conversations post-event via the portal
