A: Like a physical event, you can choose where you want to go and what you’d like to attend. On the left-hand side there are 5 different areas: Reception, stage, sessions, networking and event booths.
RECEPTION
Upon entering Hopin and joining the event, you will land in the Reception area. You can think of the reception area as the homepage, it’s the information hub. Here you will find a complete overview of the event programme and you can follow what is currently happening and what’s to come.
STAGE
The stage is where all the main talks will be taking place – if you check the schedule on the reception page it will tell you what time the stage is ‘live’.
SESSIONS
Sessions are where any breakout sessions are located, if any. When you click into a session there is the option to ‘share audio and video’ which will turn your camera and audio on and you can participate in the session, alternatively you can watch what is happening on screen. Each session will have its own chat, so you can interact with other participants and ask questions to the speaker.
NETWORKING
In networking, you can participate in 1:2:1 meetings – almost like speed dating. You will have up to 3 minutes to network with an attendee before being connected with another attendee at random. Just click ‘Ready’ to start networking. At the end of the 3 minutes a box will appear where you can ‘connect’ with them and if the feeling is mutual, share contact details. You can find the contacts you’ve made on your Hopin profile, under the ‘Connections’ tab. You can also select ‘Unmatch’ to lose the connection.
EVENT BOOTHS
In event booths you can interact and meet our exhibitors in the same way you would at a face-to-face event. You can click inside a booth to find out more information about the exhibitor and share your interest to receive emails from them. You can also speak to the exhibitor face to face by clicking ‘share audio and video’, or you may see a pre-recorded video from that you can watch at any time.
Don’t forget to navigate to the ‘booth chat’ where you can ask a question to the booth organiser.
A: During the event, you will see a Q&A icon at the right side of your screen where you can type and submit a question in real time.
If you submit a question during the event, your name may be read out by the host, so please do ensure you choose a name you would be happy to be recognised by. If you do choose to submit a question during the discussion, please note that this event will be recorded.

A: For the best Hopin experience we recommend: • Using Google Chrome or Firefox (Please avoid Brave, Safari, and Microsoft IE or Edge). • Make sure your browser is up to date, you can download Google Chrome here: https://www.google.com/chrome/ • Check your internet speed and network. Hopin recommend a minimum of 5mbps download and 2mbps upload. Ideally, we like to see 30mbps download and 10mbps upload or higher for the best quality – test your speed here. • We recommend attending the event using a laptop or PC, as we cannot guarantee it will work flawlessly on mobile.
A: No. Hopin runs in your browser (just ensure you are using Google Chrome or Firefox).
A: When an area (e.g. Stage) is “live” according to the event schedule, the red “LIVE” tag will be shown, indicating to attendees where the action is at the time. The “What’s happening now” button in the Reception area allows you to one-click navigate to where the action is. Keep track of any announcements and pinned messages from the organisers in the event chat.
A: When an attendee clicks the Ready button they are immediately matched with a random fellow attendee via face-to-face video, similar to chat roulette. Meetings end automatically after three minutes. Attendees can leave at any time. Conversation partners may decide to share contact information by clicking the Connect button. If both parties click Connect, the pair can find each other’s contact information (email address and social media) via the Connect section of their Hopin account.
A: Networking conversation partners may decide to share contact information by clicking the Connect button. If both parties click Connect, the pair can find each other’s contact information (email address and social media) via the Connect section of their Hopin account.
A: The event chat is for event-wide discussions. It’s accessible on every page of the platform. We recommend keeping all discussion to the ‘event chat’, unless you are in ‘sessions’ where we would recommend using the ‘session chat’.
