Meet@Develop

Pre plan your meetings

Networking is a huge part of Develop:Brighton and something we know is super important to all our attendees. So in addition to the many social networking events during the day and after hours, we offer an online networking tool - Meet@Develop powered by MeetToMatch - which all registered visitors can use before the event and onsite to contact each other and set up meetings in a meeting zone within the Develop Expo.

The Meet@Develop meeting zone is located within the main Expo hall.

The Expo is only open on Weds 10 and Thurs 11 July, but this year tables within the Meet@Develop zone are available to be booked on all three days of the event Tues 8, Weds 9 and Thurs 10 July.

Meeting Zone opening times:
Tues: 9am - 5pm
Weds: 9am - 5pm
Thurs: 9.30am - 4.30pm

If you'd like to use Meet@Develop then all you have to do is register for a Conference or Expo pass and then you will automatically be sent your login details nearer the time.

Meetings by choice, not chance.
