MATCHMAKER MEETING SERVICE

Speed Dating For Telcos, Vendors, Investors and Startups

Telecom Council's MatchMaker Meeting Service is a high paced, high value, speed dating opportunity for companies looking to engage with our telco community. During the Innovation Showcase, our MatchMaker facilitates hundreds of private discussions between companies with mutual interest.

Companies create their own profiles and reach out for meetings in the 2 weeks prior to the event with guidance and assistance from the Telecom Council team throughout the process, managing feedback and follow up to meeting requests, to smooth the way for companies to best fill their schedule.

On the 22nd, these pre-arranged, 15-minute meetings follow the startup presentations at dedicated tables and may continue in live video calls on the 25th. After the event, our team continues to work with the telcos and MatchMaker participants to help with rescheduling missed meetings and making future introductions on behalf of our members.
