I’m an attendee and I can’t get on the Hopin Platform

Firstly, you should have received an email from Hopin with a magic link. All the emails sent from Hopin are sent from no-reply@hopin.com . It is possible that this email ended in your Spam/Junk folder. If you still cannot find it,  please check which email you signed up to the event with as this is the email which we will have sent the magic link to. If you cannot find it after checking these steps please email Fiona who will look into if for you.
Once you click the magic link you will be directed to Hopin and asked to create an account. Please keep this safe.

I’m an attendee and I don’t understand how to navigate around the Hopin Platform

To find out how to navigate around the Hopin platform please watch the Attendee Experience video from Hopin, which shows you all the different functions in Hopin.

How can I network with other attendees on the Hopin platform?

There are two ways you can network:
From the People list – you can find an individual in the people list which is located on the right hand side toolbar, you can send them a message and then invite them to a video call immediately or schedule a call for later on in the day.
Speed Networking – by clicking ‘Ready’ in the Speed Networking you will be matched up with another attendee. If you want to meet someone else you can both end the call or you can extend it if it is a conversation you wish to continue.

• • • In Networking, when someone clicks the Ready button, the system searches for someone else who has also clicked the Ready button. If someone else is available, the two are matched instantly and the video chat begins and lasts for a preset amount of time.
    • In a Networking meeting, the blue Connect button shows up at the top right corner of the screen. The purpose of this button is to give users the ability to quickly and easily exchange contact information, similar to exchanging business cards at a physical event.
    • If both people click Connect, a connection registers. When a connection registers, both people will see the others’ contact info on Connections tab of their Profile.
    • Attendees will not know if the other person clicked Connect until the end of the event. The purpose is to allow users to un-awkwardly avoid giving out their contact information if they do not wish to.
    • In order to begin networking, an attendee must have a camera and microphone connected to their device and allowed in their browser.

Does it matter what web browser I use to access Hopin?

It is advised to use Chrome, Firefox, or the most recent versions of Edge.
