How to pre-schedule a meeting for virtual events and respond to a meeting request

To search and pre-schedule meetings on the MTN platform for LISTEX & SASTEX Virtual, first make sure you’re logged onto the platform. From mountaintradenetwork.com, input your email address, password and click on MTN platform here – or down here. You’ll be taken to the platform where all meetings for events are pre-scheduled.

Once on the platform, to see who is attending the event and possible to pre-schedule meetings with, head to the Members section on the top navigation and then tick MTN event Virtual on 7 & 8 May. Then filter on the type of company you would like to meet with – whether tour operator, travel agent, resort, hotel, accommodation etc.

Here I have selected Tour operator and travel agent, then Click into their profile on Request a Meeting, and ‘Request a meeting’ on their profile at an available time which will show for both of you. You can add a message too and introduce yourself.

To check and view all your meeting requests, when you are logged on, go to My Meetings from the top navigation. Here you can see incoming requests which you either accept or reject (with the option to add a note), and any cancelled request.

You can also suggest to reschedule the meeting if the time doesn’t work, reject or accept the meeting and it will slot into your calendar.

It’s really important to keep on top of your meeting requests – as the platform will wait for you to accept or reject meetings in order for it to open up for someone else.

In the My Meetings section you can also receive a pdf of your calendar emailed to you – click on the printer icon here, select the event meetings you want emailed to you

To make sure you receive all your meeting notifications by email too, Go to Personal Settings, the top-right drop-down arrow, and click on Email Notifications. Make sure they are all set to yes – this ensures you receive requests, acceptances and any cancellations which would then free up your calendar for more meeting options.

If you are unavailable at certain times to meet with other attendees at LISTEX & SASTEX you can block out your calendar to avoid getting meeting requests. Go to Personal Settings, the top-right hand drop down arrow, My availability and then select the blocks you can not make and click save.
