With less that one month to go until the second edition of our virtual networking event, Waypoint<\/a>, we thought we’d pop together this post to cover all the questions you may have and to ensure that everything runs as smoothly as possible for you on the day.<\/p>\n

How do I log in to the platform?<\/h3>\n

You can log into the platform here: <\/span>https:\/\/waypoint21.hubilo.com\/community\/<\/span><\/a> you should be able to log in with your email and password. If you have not yet received an email, please check your emails from \u2018Waypoint\u2019 and do check your spam folder too! If you’re still having issues, shoot us an email (info@traverse-events.com).<\/span><\/p>\n

Can I attend all the sessions and what do they cover?<\/h3>\n

All the sessions will be available to view on the \u2018Schedule\u2019 section of the platform. If you see one you would like to attend, you simply click join. Sessions will be held on the platform, via Zoom. Check out this post on How to Watch as an Attendee<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The sessions will be covering a range of topics on influencer marketing, freelancing and content creation. We have a few brand sessions, where representatives from the destination, PR agency or brand will be sharing tips and insights on how to best work with them, and their plans for the coming year. We also have sessions deep-diving into travel journalism and using emotive storytelling in content production.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How does the networking work?<\/h3>\n

Firstly, we would highly recommend logging in to the platform before the day of the event, to check that you are familiar with the set up and to check that you can indeed log in. This will also allow you to schedule meetings well in advance of the event.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Secondly, do ensure that you have completed your profile, with an image, links to your channels, your channel’s niche, regions of focus and where you are based. This will help exhibitors and industry attendees to filter and identify you when they are searching on the platform. Also, keep an eye on emails from us, as we will be introducing more of the exhibitors and sharing some more information that may be of interest in the coming weeks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
