Scheduling Meetings During the Event
In case your schedule is not full at the close of Marcom eSchedule PRO,
you will still have the possibility to maximise the number of your meetings
through Marcom Onsite, a web-based application that will enable you to
schedule last-minute meetings, message other event participants, view
on-site workshop information and make adjustments to your schedule.

If you prefer not to opt into the last-minute scheduling function of Marcom
Onsite, you may also arrange additional meetings in the morning of each
workshop day (April 5 and 6) between 8:30 and 8:55.

Marcom Onsite complements eSchedule PRO and will open on April 3,
once eSchedule PRO closes. If you are using Marcom Onsite for the
first time, we recommend to have a look at our video tutorials (►Introducing
Marcom Onsite, ►Basics of Marcom Onsite).
