What is the Business Matching System “MeetToMatch”?
BitSummit aims to continuously create opportunities for game creators and publishers from around the world to connect. To further strengthen B2B initiatives, BitSummit introduced a business matching system in partnership with MeetToMatch starting four years ago.
MeetToMatch provides thorough support throughout the process—from discovering content during the event, to business support for attendees and exhibitors. It also offers end-to-end assistance using a nudging system, including guidance on completing profiles, scheduling meetings, and planning matched sessions—creating an optimal environment for B2B networking.
With the introduction of MeetToMatch, participants in online, offline, and hybrid events are able to realize B2B opportunities with game creators worldwide.
