Welcome everybody we're so thrilled. We feel like this is such a milestone for getting closer to ONA21. We are less than a month out from our start date. We wanted to take this opportunity to walk you through building your Grip profile as a company as well as as a sponsor representative.

You may notice that it's May, and the attendees won't be joining until June 14th. This is purposeful. We wanted to make sure that all of you have as much time as possible to feel comfortable with your profiles, as well as with the platform, so that when the attendees join on June 14th, you feel like you have a really good foundation on which to start networking. So I'm going to be going through as though I'm starting from scratch for the most part with my very "coolly" named company. If you guys have any questions don't hesitate to stop me, and this is meant to be really casual, and hopefully, really helpful for you. So I'll be sharing my screen.

And here we are. So, front page if you haven't looked at it yet. You'll have an email asking you to activate, and this is the first screen that it'll take you to. So, if you haven't had a chance yet to go in here, I'll give you a very quick walkthrough of what to expect. So this is your homepage right now. I'm making it really clear again that it's under construction because we're building this right alongside you all. We actually just got access to Grip for this last week. And so, again, we wanted you guys to have as much time as possible and that meant that you'll be seeing some of the parts of the sausage getting made.

But when the event is live, "Recommended for You" is going to be where the AI that's part of Grip is going to be making recommendations in terms of who they think you might want to meet with this will be based on interests, job roles, etc. And then there are other ways that keep things organized so when folks are interested in you, you'll get an asynchronous message, you'll also see them in a list here. "Connections" are just that — folks that you have made a connection with either by mutually expressing interest in each other, or scheduling a meeting. "Your [My] Interested" list is similar in that you haven't gotten quite to [making] connections, but you're interested. Skip lists that people that you've decided you did not want to connect with. Your schedule of meetings and events, and if you're participating in the Career Day, events that are taking place. The Exhibitors and Recruiters are split up here just to make it easier for folks who might be looking for jobs as part of Career Day. But you will find everybody here, and you can go back to the ONA21 lobby. There will also be listings here for attendees as well as the sponsor representatives.

So, let's go right into what you'd be doing in terms of building your, your company page. If this was the first time that you were logging in, there would be a bunch of prompts here for you as the sponsor representative/attendee to be filling out some information, approving whether you want your data to be tracked, whether you want your email to be shared. I'll take a moment on the email to be shared part — that's new in Grip this year if you participated last year. As you likely know, with GDPR and California regulations there are a lot of privacy issues in terms of proactively sharing email and other identifying contact information. What Grip has done, rather than saying you only can share contact information through chat, for example, is offer folks the opportunity that if they want to proactively share their email and or phone number, they can do that publicly — meaning publicly within Grip; they can do it only with folks with whom they've made a connection; or not at all, so it would still be limited to only sharing in a chat. for example. As sponsor representatives, you may want to consider whether you want to have an email address that you are sharing publicly to offer folks as many ways as possible to connect with you. Otherwise, it's for the most part very self-explanatory, and we do have the guide that walks you through those first couple of steps.

What I want to focus on is creating Teams. So Teams is right here, this is going to be the button that you're pushing for anything related to the backend Teams organization for your company. It shows up first on the meetings page. Obviously this isn't as relevant to us at this point, but here is where you're going to see all of your team members' availability and meeting scheduled through the week of the conference.
