Present your company in a B2B environment

Webinar or web seminar is a live online conference or presentation. They are generally interactive, with participants getting information, asking questions, and discussing in real-time.

Many companies use webinars as a way to connect with new business partners, demonstrate expertise, and build brand authority. Generally, webinars work best for B2B companies who want to share their expertise.

Communication is the key

Communication is one of the most challenging aspects of dealing with international partners. The challenge is even bigger when partner companies use different languages. That is why ICE participants will be able to communicate with shipyards and booking systems by asking questions after online presentations.

Get ready for your first digital event!

ICE

Digital events are not complicated. All you need to do is read the information about the event and prepare yourself for the digital meetings. So, what do you need to know before ICE’20 starts?

We prepared the first steps for ICE’20 so you can have all the information in one place. From the phase of preparation and starting the digital expo to the phase of having online meetings presenting your company in the digital environment.

STEP 1:  The phase of preparation and prearranging meetings

On October 12th you will get access to the Handshake software.  Handshake is a matchmaking software for arranging digital meetings at ICE’20. As soon as you get to Handshake you will be able to fill in your personal and company profile, and then book meetings with business partners. Have in mind that the meetings will be maximum 30 minutes. We advise you to book as much as possible prior to the event.

STEP 2: Getting the unique link for visiting ICE

Three weeks before ICE you will receive an e-mail with a unique link to the event. After entering your e-mail which you will use for Handshake, you will get a password that you can use only on one device. In case of changing a device (mobile, tablet, laptop), you will get a new log-in password for the second device. 

Be smart when you decide which device you will use. We suggest that you use only a laptop or tablet at ICE’20. That way you can navigate the event easily and see brochures and videos at digital booths. A laptop or tablet will be enough for your digital adventure , and you can always open Handshake on a smartphone so you can always see your meeting schedule.

STEP 3: Starting the Digital ICE

As you already know, ICE Conference will start one day before the expo on November 25, 2020. 
When ICE starts, you will receive a notification by e-mail.

Click on your unique link and start the new digital adventure. Go through the halls and digital booths, get to know your partners, and get ready for meetings. Check sound, camera, background!

Few minutes before the meeting, you will have a pop – up button that will let you know about your next meeting. As soon as you click it, it will bring you infront of the booth you have a meeting with. 

You will have a timer to remind you how many minutes you have left. Don’t worry if you decide that you need more time. You can book another meeting with the same person during ICE.
