B. Access and prepare for networking
1) Login: Use a desktop browser to login: Grip App
Login credentials were sent to you via email (check spam folder). Alternatively, you can “Request a reminder” to get the BadgeID sent to your email.
2) Setup profile: Connect your Linkedin profile to build your Grip profile. The more information you add, the better matches you will get.
3) Find people to connect with. Couple options:
a. “See Recommendations” button. You will see a list of people that the system recommends based on your profile
b. “All attendees” link. You will see a list of attendees, which you can filter and sort to find those you are interested in meeting.
4) Schedule meeting: find a person and select “Schedule a meeting” button.
Select a 15 min time slot between 3pm and 5pm.
The location will be a virtual private video room, which will automatically be created 5 minutes before your meeting. You can also chat via text message with your meeting guest. We recommend leaving a number in there, in case the video doesn’t work.
5) Accept (or reject) meeting: Other people might request a meeting with you. When they do, you will get an email like below:
You can also check all of your meetings in the “My Schedule” link on the left of the networking app. Scroll down, and you will see your meetings from 3pm onwards.
Either way, you can choose to accept, message, reschedule or decline. Please take action on these, as you know how it feels to be left hanging.

2) Join the meeting room: 5 minutes before the meeting start time, the “Open Virtual Meeting Room” button will be clickable. You can click it to join the video meeting.
3) Have a successful meeting: Once you join, there is a Chance that audio will not work, especially if you have multiple audio options on your computer. To get around this, you should click on the “Try opening the meeting in a new tab” link.
This will open a new window, which gives you options to change your audio. Click on the settings “Gear” button, and change your audio options.
You may need to check your browser settings as well. This is a common problem among browser based video conferencing app. Below is a guide to fix it on Google Chrome Browser.
