1. Open /exhibitions · the calendar lists upcoming events with dates, locations and capacity.
2. Click an event to see the detail page · agenda, featured suppliers, registration link.
3. Register · the form is short. If you're a signed-in user, most fields pre-fill from your profile.
4. You'll get a confirmation email with the event-day briefing pack 5 days before.

The matchmaking feature opens 7-10 days before each event. As a buyer:

1. Open the event's matchmaking page.
2. Filter by category, deal size and ICP · only suppliers actually attending the event are listed.
3. Book 5-10 meeting slots · 20 minutes each. The supplier confirms or counter-proposes within 48 hours.

As a supplier, the equivalent screen lets you see which buyers have requested meetings and accept the right ones. Treat your event day as a sequence of structured discovery calls.

Stand booking is for suppliers on the Visibility tier and above:

1. Open /exhibit · the stand booking form.
2. Pick the event · the form shows the floor plan with available stand positions.
3. Specify your stand requirements · power, lighting, display dimensions, A/V needs.
4. Submit · ops confirms availability and pricing within 2 business days.

Once your stand is confirmed, the stand number appears on your supplier profile so buyers can find you on the day.

Speaker slots are part of the Authority Engine tier · 30-minute slots on a vetted topic in front of the full buyer audience. To apply:

1. Confirm you're on the Authority tier · the speaker field on your supplier profile is enabled.
2. Email your account team at least 6 weeks before the event with topic, audience, and a one-paragraph abstract.
3. Topic vetting takes ~1 week. Approved topics get a slot in the agenda · denied topics get a why and an invitation to resubmit.

The "My Visit" surface at /my-visit is your event-day planner:

• Plan (/my-visit/plan) · your booked meetings, sessions, stand visits in time-order. Print or save to your phone.
• Notifications (/my-visit/notifications) · what's coming up next during the event day. Subscribe to email or SMS pings.
• Profile · what other attendees see when they look you up · keep it current before each event.

See every event you're registered for at /my-events. Cancel or transfer your ticket from here · transfer is free up to 7 days before the event.

Your full calendar (events + meetings + workshops) syncs to /my-calendar. Subscribe via iCal to keep it in your work calendar.

• Buyers · show up to your booked meetings on time. If you have to cancel, do it the day before · last-minute no-shows tank a supplier's day. The platform tracks this · serial no-shows lose matchmaking access.
• Suppliers · don't switch-pitch. If a buyer's brief is for X, don't pivot to Y mid-meeting. The supplier you meet at the event should match the supplier on your profile.
• Speakers · no product pitches in talk sessions. Educational content only. Pitching from stage gets flagged · second offence loses speaker rights.

• Registered but didn't get the briefing pack · check spam. Briefing packs land 5 days before · if you're inside that window and have nothing, contact ops.
• Matchmaking shows no suppliers · the matchmaking window opens 7-10 days before the event. Earlier than that, the page is intentionally empty.
• Stand request not confirmed · 2 business days is the SLA. If you're past that, email ops with the event name and your supplier slug.
• Can't transfer a ticket · transfers are free up to 7 days out · inside that window, transfers are case-by-case via ops.
