Using social media?

You can use your social media accounts to set up your profile, if you do so, your profile picture and information will be pulled automatically. If a pop up appears that does not allow you to register using your social accounts, this will be because your cookies have been disabled, please enable cookies in order to register using your social accounts. If this is not possible, you can register by clicking on “Create Brella account".

Tips for networking?

Take your time choosing your interests, as the AI-based matchmaking will recommend top matches to you based on your selections. You can see everyone registered to Brella, but your most relevant matches are listed first. So you can start booking meetings with delegates. 

The Brella chat option opens up only after both parties have accepted the meeting and if you decide to keep the chat open after cancelling the original request.

We all have our own objectives for the event and it is better to cancel meeting requests that you do not want to take part in than leave it without response as “pending”. Your straightforward actions allow requesters to suggest that time to other valuable connections.

Do I need to log in with my unique code each day?

No, you only need to log in on the first day. Your code can only be used once, so, please do not share it out.

Can I share my code?

No, this is unique to you only.

Will I get meeting reminders?

Yes, these will be sent to your Brella account and email, if you add the meeting to your outlook (or other diaries), meeting reminders will pop up as normal.

Did I receive my unique code?

Brella log in details (your unique code and link) to all registered delegates were sent on Wednesday 1st July 2020.

If you are having difficulty logging on, please contact Ashleigh Huntsman at ashleigh.huntsman@infopro-digital.com.
 

My code is invalid?

I can't see the video?

If you are within a corporate firewall/proxy server, the video player may not be using the correct proxy server settings. Symptoms may include messages that read, Could not locate server: xxxxxx or cannot open: xxxxxx. To fix these settings you may need to contact your I.T department.

My video is freezing?

This will be due to network congestion. Network congestion can cause the following issues:

  • The program continually stops and buffers.
  • The streamed content stops, requiring you to click play again to resume.
