As previously mentioned, the event was delivered in an online format. This format allowed participants from various parts of Finland to join and follow the event’s content. As Deal Room, we aided in the management of the event by providing several of our virtual features to our guests on the platform. For instance, we encouraged participants to register and activate their profiles before the event to enable the 1:1 meetings booking feature. As a result, our data showed that a total of 188 meetings were accomplished, predominantly between job seekers and employers.
We acknowledge that the nature of the event format (online) poses a challenge in building meaningful relationships. Yet, in events like Talent Boost Summit that seek to match people and foster good networking, a user-friendly platform with an in-house relevance algorithm is paramount to achieving success. Therefore, as Deal Room, we enabled services and features such as booking meetings, private chats, personalized agendas to aid in the purposeful connection between participants.
Deal Room created a total of 63 unique virtual booths and a number of unique sessions for job seekers to have a better understanding of their employers. Each booth had detailed information about the organization, allowing job seekers to build private sessions with potential employers.
