تطبيق فعالية كونكت+ IAAPA إكسبو الشرق الأوسط

Connect+ is IAAPA’s official digital platform designed to enhance your event experience, whether in person, hybrid, or virtual.
It gives exhibitors and attendees an easy way to connect, engage, and stay informed throughout IAAPA Expos, Summits, and virtual events.
Through Connect+, you can highlight your company, network with participants, access event agendas, view on-site information, and participate in live sessions — all in one place.

Connect+ is free for both IAAPA members and non-members.

The exhibitor booth Primary Contact will receive access to the company’s Connect+ booth profile. This access allows you to build and manage your company’s digital presence for attendees using the Connect+ mobile app during IAAPA Expo.

You can log in using one of these options:

• Direct Email: Look for an email from Connect+ sent to your registered address.

• Web Browser: Access directly at connectplus.iaapa.org/c/iaapa.

• Mobile App: Download the Connect+ app from the Apple App Store or Google Play.

Be sure to log in with the email address you used during Exhibitor Registration.
For the best experience, IAAPA recommends setting up your booth using a desktop computer.

Before setting up your exhibitor booth profile, you’ll first create your personal attendee profile — your digital business card in Connect+.
Everyone’s profile includes public information, and once you connect with someone, additional private details become visible.

Public (visible to all participants):

• Name

• Role 

• Company Name

• Biography

• Social Networks (if added)

• Company Website

Private (visible only to your connections):

• Email

• Telephone (if added)

• Address (if added)

* Connecting with Attendees

Connect+ makes it easy to build your network throughout the event:

• Find attendees, speakers, or exhibitors and send a connection request directly from their profile.

• Personalize your message to introduce yourself and explain your interest.

• Manage and view your new contacts under the "My Contacts" tab or in the "My Networking" section within "My Event".

The more connections you make, the more opportunities you create for meaningful business conversations.

Connect+ is your opportunity to increase brand visibility, drive booth traffic, and turn event connections into real business results — before, during, and after IAAPA Expo.

• Showcase your company, products, and services to a global audience

• Schedule meetings with attendees to create meaningful in-person and virtual interactions
