International (LMI), the organizer of Games Convention Asia (GCA), today
announced that it released a matchmaking tool on its website enabling
attendees of GCA and exhibitors to pre-schedule appointments and meet one
another. | | | The tool automatically registers attendees when they sign-up in
advance to attend the conference and business center, and offers an
easy-to-use, simple and reliable solution for scheduling time during the
show to network. The tool, which has been successfully used and praised by
visitors of other conventions organized, is making its games conference
debut at GCA. Matchmaking will be available in mid-August for pre-registered
attendees to begin scheduling their meetings via the GCA site at
http://www.gc-asia.sg using the same login and
password as for the visitor or attendee registration.
Games Convention Asia 2008, will be held September 18-20, 2008 at the Suntec
International Convention & Exhibition Centre, Singapore. This year's theme
for the convention is "Inspire Yourself." The inaugural edition last year
drew more than 70,000 public visitors and this year's event is expected to
draw even more attendees from the Asia-Pacific region, Europe and North
America.
"Networking is one of the most important parts of any great conference, and
with our goal of growing international relationships within the interactive
entertainment industry for the Asia Pacific Region, the creation of this
matchmaking system was a priority for us," said Jorg Zeissig, Managing
Director, LMI Asia. "We want to facilitate the best possible experience and
truly grow people's networks in addition to the knowledge exchange at the
conference. The matchmaking tool has the power to be a real business
development catalyst."
How the Matchmaking Tool Works
Pre-registered attendees are able to request individual meetings with
exhibitors or anyone else pre-registered to attend the convention. Meeting
requests are then confirmed by both sides in order to be scheduled and
ensure the meeting has value for both parties. Shortly before the event,
each participant will receive a personalized meeting schedule outlining his
or her full calendar for the show. Meetings booked through the matchmaking
tool will also be provided with space at the show so participants and
exhibitors don't have to search for a quiet, comfortable place to speak.
