Overview
The Connections and Meetings Dashboard is the participant's personal command centre inside the Meeting Program. It gives delegates, speakers, and buyers a single screen that answers three questions: who do I know here, who is trying to reach me, and what is happening in my diary today?
Where to find it
Sign in to the event front end as a participant and open the Meeting Program. The Dashboard is the first block on the page, sitting above the Matches List.

States the participant might see
-
New user, empty Dashboard: a coaching panel invites the user to complete their profile and review the Matches List.
-
Active user during show days: the Today counter is highlighted, and reminders fire 10 minutes before each meeting.

Post-event: the Dashboard switches to a summary mode showing total meetings held and a CTA to export the contact list.
Notifications linked to the Dashboard
Activity surfaced on the Dashboard mirrors the email and push notifications that the participant has opted into. Numbers stay in sync whether the participant responds via email, mobile app, or front end.
