BOS Basel 2023 Partnering

BOS Basel 2023 has now finished and Partnering is closed

Partnering Top Tips

1. Set your availability to show when you are available for Partnering (networking) and to mark the times you are unavailable at Presentations.
2. Use our 10-minute slots (08.00 to 09.00 on day 1 and 13.00 to 14.00 on day 2) to fit in those introductory meetings or stand visits. (The other meeting slots are 20 minutes long.)
3. Use the Lunch / Coffee Breaks / Drinks Reception times as another option for meeting people: "Let's catch up at the coffee break" via BOS Messenger is a nice alternative to "Declined"!
4. If you're part of an Organisation, use our Partnering Organiser to co-ordinate who is going to contact whom. Please avoid sending multiple meeting requests from different persons in your organisation to a single recipient.
