In your profile, you should include information about yourself, such as your background, experience, expertise, and any other relevant details that would help others determine if they want to meet with you. You can select from a range of industry-specific data points, which consists of over 100 options to choose from.
You can indicate your availability on the platform, or you can default to being fully available, your meetings will be scheduled acordingly. Being available for more time slots increases your chances of scheduling meetings.

Request Meetings
You can start requesting meetings on Tuesday, September 8.
The deadline to complete your meeting requests is Wednesday, September 16 by 5pm PT.
This is your time to start selecting everyone you are interested in meeting with by marking them as "Relevant" or "Super Relevant" and providing a reason. We suggest submitting a minimum of four meeting requests for every timeslot you are available for (e.g., if you are available for all 16 Meetup timeslots, then make 64+ requests).
You should indicate your interest level as either "Relevant" or "Super Relevant." Meeting Requests marked as "Super Relevant" will be prioritised.
It is recommended to make meeting requests equal to at least 4 times the number of time slots you are available for. For example, if you are available for all 16 meetup timeslots, then make 64+ requests. To send a request, select 'Relevant' or 'Super Relevant'.
In order to ensure we will be able to schedule you a complete meeting schedule, we recommend you make a minimum of 4 times the number of time slots you are available for. If you are available for all 16 time slots, that equals 64 selections. This is because only mutual matches during available time slots will become scheduled meetings, and therefore, our algorithm accounts for (1) meeting requests that you make, (2) participant also agreeing to meet with you, (3) prioritisation by both the other party and you (Relevant vs Super Relevant selections), and (4) potential calendar availability/conflicts.
Yes, you can select multiple people from the same organization for meetings. When we run our scheduling algorithm, you will only be scheduled with 1 individual from any organization.
Yes, you can use Filters to narrow down your search and quickly and efficiently make your selections. Additionally, you can use the quick search on the upper left side.
Select everyone from an organization you would want to meet and spend 15 minutes with!
Opt-In to Requests
You can start opting in to meeting requests from people you didn't previously select starting on Thursday, September 17.
The deadline to opt in to meeting requests and to confirm your availability is on Monday, September 21 at 5pm PT.
Opting in to meeting requests allows you to reciprocate interest and potentially schedule meetings with individuals who have requested to meet with you. The more requests you opt in to, the more meetings you are likely to get. We facilitate meetings based only on meetings that are double opt-in (both parties expressing interest) so please opt-in to every request from someone you’d spend 15 minutes with by marking them as "Relevant" or " Super Relevant".
Onsite
All meetings are held in a dedicated Meetup area on the Exhibit Hall Floor.
You can check the Shoptalk Fall mobile app for your schedule and for the assigned table number for each meeting. The table numbers will indicate where you should proceed for each scheduled meeting.
It is recommended to arrive at the Meetup area 5-10 minutes before your first scheduled meeting. There is no check-in required, but if you have any questions, there will be a Meetup info desk available.
If the person you're scheduled to meet doesn't show up, give them 5 minutes grace. If they still haven't joined the meeting, you can mark them as a No-Show on the Shoptalk Fall mobile app.
Yes, here are some do's and don'ts:
- Do join each meeting on time and ensure you stay within the allotted 15 minutes for each scheduled meeting.
- Do check the table number for each scheduled meeting, as each meeting will be assigned a different table. There is a 5-minute transition time between meetings.
- Do download the Shoptalk Fall mobile app ahead of your meetings.
- Do let the organizers know if a solution provider directly reaches out to you about Shoptalk Fall, as they have been instructed not to do so.
- Don't approach anyone in the Meetup area unless you have a scheduled Meetup meeting with them.
- Don't enter the Meetup area at any time when you don't have a scheduled Meetup meeting.
