SparkX – Meet interesting new people
With the help of our AI system SparkX, we are taking the networking at ESPNIC 2021 to the next level. Quickly find the most relevant participants to connect with and make yourself more easily discoverable, by filling-in a few simple questions. More details will be shared closer to the meeting.
What is SparkX?
SparkX is an AI-based networking platform at ESPNIC 2021. It will recommend you the most relevant people you should meet at the Online Xperience and enables you to chat with them or set a 1-on-1 meeting.
How does SparkX Work?
As a registered participant to ESPNIC 2021, you will receive an invite to build a profile in the days building-up to the Meeting. SparkX then analyses your profile and matches it other participants’ profiles, based on your networking goals, interests and professional background.
Once ESPNIC 2021 begins and the Meeting Platform opens, go to the ESPNIC Hub 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 Meeting.
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 Meeting, you will receive an invite to the email address you used to register for the Meeting. 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 ESPNIC 2021 Online starts, where do I find SparkX?
The SparkX platform is located in the ESPNIC Hub.
Top Tip
Don’t wait until the Meeting begins to create your profile. We encourage you to build your profile before the Meeting, so you have recommendations waiting for you on the first day.
