During the Voting phase, participants express interest by marking others as either Relevant (R) or Super Relevant (SR). Super Relevant signals a higher level of interest than standard Relevant. Participants do not see which level they have been marked at by others.
The matching algorithm uses these signals when generating meeting proposals, in this priority order:
-
Mutual Relevance — both participants have marked each other (at either R or SR level). Matched first.
-
Single-sided Relevance — only one participant has marked the other. Considered next.
-
No relevance signal — remaining slots are filled where no marking exists.
Within each priority tier, pairs are ordered by their overall matching score.
Sponsored meetings govern meeting quotas per exhibitor. Key rules:
-
Hosted Buyers can only schedule Sponsored meetings and are only visible to Sponsored Team Members.
-
General Buyers must consume their Sponsored meeting allowance before they can schedule Free meetings — the system enforces this automatically.
-
Sponsored Team Members count against their Exhibitor's Sponsored limit and are visible to all participant types.
-
Free Team Members do not count against the Sponsored limit; their meetings are classified as Free and are not visible to Hosted Buyers or General Buyers.
Exhibitors assign Sponsored or Free status to each team member in the admin panel. This must be done before the first meeting generation runs — status cannot be changed after generation.
