Meeting limits (Opt-in speed networking)
The limits below are taken into account during meetings generation.
Exhibitor
Category settings pop-up
Setting name is "Sponsored meetings limit". By default this setting is enabled and with value of 10.
When value is set to 0, no sponsored meetings are allowed.
When toggle is turned off, there is no limit and unlimited meetings are allowed
It is NOT possible to change the sponsored meetings limit at the individual exhibitor profile level. The setting is neither visible nor functional in the exhibitor profile. The limit can only be configured at the category level via the Category settings pop-up. If a different limit for a specific exhibitor is needed, the only option is to move that exhibitor to a different category with the desired limit.
Participant
In the participant category settings pop-up, in the "Onsite meetings" section the setting name is "Is a buyer (Opt-in Speed Networking)". By default the toggle is turned OFF.
When enabled the participant is perceived as a buyer in the Opt-in Speed Networking sessions. The "Buyer meetings limit" toggle and the "Number of limit" input field appear. By default the limit is turned ON with value "10".
If number of limit is set to "0", then no meetings are allowed for Buyer participants of this category.
Critical to note: Meeting limit and chat limit in participant category settings default to 0. A value of 0 means "no meetings/chats allowed" — this causes a silent failure where users simply cannot create meetings or send messages, with no error message.
What happens:
Participants see the meeting/chat UI but no actions work
No error message is shown to the userH
The fix: When creating a new participant category, immediately set meeting limit and chat limit to appropriate values (e.g., 10 for meetings). Check participant category limits as part of every event setup and recheck these just prior to launch
