Location: Main Auditorium

One of the best things about attending a conference is the great people you meet.  Our Matchmaking event will randomly connect you with someone at the conference.  After a few minutes, you will then be connected with someone new.  If you are in a great conversation, you can choose to extend your time.  However, try to meet and exchange information with as many people as possible.  There is also a chat feature In the conference lounge area, so you can also connect with people at any time to say hello.
