What is SparkX?
SparkX is an AI-based networking platform at ESID 2021. It will recommend you the most relevant people you should meet at the Symposium and enables you to chat with them or set a 1-on-1 meeting.
How does SparkX Work?
As a registered participant to ESID 2021, you will receive an invite to build a profile in the days building-up to the Symposium. SparkX then analyses your profile and matches it other participants’ profiles, based on your networking goals, interests and professional background.
Once ESID 2021 begins and the Symposium Platform opens, go to the Networking Lounge and click on the SparkX button. From inside SparkX, you will be able to view and edit your profile, plus review your recommendations on who to meet during the Symposium.
If you want to connect with one of your recommendations, like their profile. If they like you as well, then you are a match!
With a match, you can start chatting via the SparkX platform or set a 1-on-1 meeting.
The platform will also generate a calendar reminder and provide a video meeting room for each of your meetings.
How do I get started?
A few days before the Symposium, you will receive an invite to the email address you used to register for ESID 2021. The email will ask you to complete your SparkX profile. In under 2 minutes, you will be able to build your profile and be ready to receive networking recommendations.
Once the ESID 2021 Online Symposium starts, where do I find SparkX?
The SparkX platform is located in the Networking Lounge.
