MatchMaker Service for Meetings and Introductions

Telecom Council's Matchmaker Meeting Service facilitates personal introductions via pre-arranged, private, 15-minute meetings both in person and virtually after select meetings.  The result is a series of meaningful introductions over concise, private meetings in a short time among delegates committed to technology discovery and partnership development.
This private service is available once in the Spring and once in the Fall, generally following a Telecom Council meeting and is available for free to Telecom Council members and for a fee to select non-members. Participants can take meetings onsite in Silicon Valley on one day and take more meeting online the next. Meetings generally run 10 to 15 minutes, depending on whether they take place online or in-person, and can include multiple representatives from each company around a table or in a virtual meeting room.

  • May 10, 12:30pm to 4:30pm Onsite in Silicon Valley
  • May 11, 7am to 7pm online via zoom

Delegates will benefit from a series of meaningful introductions over concise, private meetings in a condensed timeframe. Meeting times and locations are automatically allocated based on participant availability.

GET MORE MEETINGS

On average, delegates who use our MatchMaker service get more introductions and more continuing conversations than they expected.
The most successful company from our last MatchMaker event was a Series B startup who scheduled 21 meetings.  The average participant actively using the MatchMaker to request and curate meetings in November 2021 secured 8 personalized meetings.
A well phrased elevator speech, succinct product profiles, photos and images, all contribute to introduce your innovation prior to the event. An intuitive interface makes setting up profiles easy and effective.

  • Profiles are set up prior to the MatchMaking event and can be reviewed and updated as needed
  • Add personal details, including photo so that prospective partners can recognize you
  • Add company profile, including logo, descriptions, keywords for meaningful matches
  • Add product profiles, include images, descriptions, development stage, market segment for focused conversations
  • MatchMaking takes place online over 2 weeks before the meeting day, with the majority of meetings scheduled the week before. Companies can field multiple delegates, request a specific meeting time, and requests may be accepted, declined, rescheduled or waitlisted, dependent on your individual goals.
