Networking & Community in the App

Community

Attendees can search for other attendees and network in the Community feature within the app. Each user that has set up a profile will appear here. You can search for a specific attendee by typing their name into the search bar. You can view an attendee’s profile by clicking on their name, and from there, you can direct message them by tapping the Chat button at the bottom of your screen.

You can see all your 1:1 chats by clicking on the “chat bubble” icon in the top right-hand corner of the navigation bar.

Privacy settings

If you do not wish to be contacted, you can remove yourself from the Community feature by clicking on the “door” icon in the top right-hand corner of the navigation bar.

You can also adjust your profile settings by clicking on the “burger menu” icon in the top left-hand corner and tapping Settings.

We recommend you keep your push notifications toggled on so that you don’t miss any important announcements during the event! Surprise food and beverage moments, sponsor giveaways and session reminders to name a few, will keep you on your toes. Push notifications will be archived in the Event Updates section, which can be accessed by clicking on the “bell” icon in the upper righthand nav.

If someone is not abiding by INBOUND’s Code of Conduct, please report them by emailing help@inbound.com.

Making connections onsite

Attendees will be provided with a SmartBadge™ powered by Klik Experiential for a seamless and unified event experience with just one tap. With badge-to-badge contact exchanges, focus on building connections and community with fellow attendees and peers while your badge collects all of the essential information — creating a digital business card of sorts. Your badge will be paired with your registration profile so you’re set for INBOUND success from the start. 

Simply hold your badges close together, click the button on the badge at the same time, and receive confirmation of the information exchange when both badges light up. This action will trigger a contact exchange card to appear in the Klik feature of the app. The Klik feature is where your badge-to-badge contact exchanges will appear as well as your session attendance cards. 

Run into a fellow attendee outside of the BCEC? You can still bump badges for contact exchanges. Their contact info may not populate in the app right away. However, upon returning to the BCEC, their contact info will come through after your badge has connected to one of the onsite beacons. 

You can also start a 1:1 Chat with a person you exchanged contact information with by clicking on the chat bubble icon in the lower right-hand corner of the contact card. You can revisit this page later and download a full list of your contact exchanges at any time.

All attendees will have the opportunity to opt-out of syncing their contact info to their badge at initial check-in/badge pickup. Please be aware, opting out may limit some of the badge-to-badge contact exchange functionality.

Exporting Klik Badge Connections

All contact information from badge-to-badge contact exchanges will be stored in the INBOUND app so you can keep the conversation going post-event. To export contacts, go to the Klik feature in your mobile app. In the last carousel slide at the top of the page, there’s a button called Export Contacts. Simply click that button, and you’ll be able to send a full list of contact details through any select application on your device. 

Rating sessions

The Klik feature also allows you to rate sessions that you attended. For sessions that don’t require saving a seat, the tracking data isn’t 100% perfect (think large-stage format sessions). If you don’t see an attendance card in your Klik feature for a session you went to, you can always submit a rating in the Agenda page by clicking on the session card and tapping the Rate “star” button towards the bottom of the screen.

Note: If you choose to opt out of Klik tracking at registration, the Klik feature will not populate any data.
