The Infrastructure Investor Global Summit virtual platform will replicate all the best parts of the in-person conference experience.
You can:
– Watch live panel sessions happening in Berlin and ask questions of the speakers
– Watch and download recordings of the panels at a time more convenient for you, with the platform open until the end of January 2021
– Network with delegates who are both attending in-person in Berlin and those tuning in from around the globe just as you are from 4 weeks prior to the event until the end of January 2021
– Participate in virtual roundtables and themed networking rooms to discuss the topics that matter to you with like-minded peers

The platform will launch 4 weeks out from the event. As a registered attendee, you will be sent a unique code to access the platform. That code is unique to you and cannot be shared with anyone else, just like other password-protected sites.

We will run a full introductory webinar with the functionality of the platform and the Infrastructure Investor team is available to help you out at any point. The advantage of launching it 4 weeks out is that we can help you iron out any issues you might be having with plenty of time before the event!

No. There will be live content (which is where you can take part in live Q&As), but all content will be made on demand until the end of January 2021, so you can watch any session at a time convenient to you.

The discussion rooms will also be live until the end of January 2021 to add your viewpoint to a conversation and catch up on the live comments from the conference if you cannot make a session. You can also direct message speakers of interest to ask them questions or schedule a meeting if you enjoyed their presentation or panel discussion after the fact.

We hear you – which is why we have structured the platform to ensure you are part of the conversation. You will be able to:

– Ask questions of panel speakers during the session
– Spend time face-to-face via video conference with speakers to ask questions after the session
– Join roundtables to discuss the topics that matter to you with like-minded peers
– Focused networking breaks where you can discuss the strategies and opportunities you are interested in
– Pop in to sponsor booths to connect via video and discuss their offerings or a presentation that they just gave

You can build your own personal agenda within the platform and opt-in to receive notifications when sessions are about to begin. Of course, you can always watch the session on demand until the end of January 2021.

Absolutely not! The virtual platform will feature direct messaging functionality, but it also has in-built video conferencing that allows you to invite up to 5 other people into a single meeting. Just select your potential business partner/s from the attendee list and invite them to chat.

No, any invitations for meetings will go directly to the recipients registered email address with your meeting proposal just as they normally would through Outlook, iCal, Google Calendar, and other email platforms. Once the recipient has responded, you will also receive a notification to your inbox.

It is hard to beat in-person interactions and networking; however, the virtual platform also has its advantages.

– You will be able to see all attendees who are attending each session, or have viewed the recording, to help identify potential business partners and to give a common conversation starting point when sending meeting requests
– At a live event, you may be just hoping to bump into another attendee, speaker or exhibitor, with the virtual platform you have the full list of attendees in front of you where you can click on a name and request a meeting or send them a message
– Networking and messaging functionality will be available for longer than just 12-15 October, meaning you can set times with your key targets in advance of or after the event to ensure you get full value from attending the event virtually

This is a key reason as to why the platform will be available from four weeks before the event until the end of January 2021. Our virtual-only attendees will have the chance to organise meetings with in-person attendees at a time that suits both parties, be that before, during or after 12-15 October.

The platform shows available meeting times as per your computers timezone. For example, if you are based in London, a meeting you set for 9am from your account will show to a recipient in Berlin as 10am, reducing the human error impact of incorrectly guessing timezone.
It is worth noting that event timings will be running on Berlin Time (CEST) which is UTC +2. The platform will note the timezone abbreviation next to most timings to avoid confusion.
