Rethink summits are created by experts in the agri-food, water, and waste tech industries to address the issues most crucial to investors and developers in these sectors. Through our global network of industry advisors, we produce highly-focused, topical summits which gather all the right people together in one room to share ideas, find solutions and identify new business opportunities. We are committed to providing the world-leading platforms for knowledge-sharing, debate and networking for business leaders, featuring the leading experts and gamechangers from across the global ecosystem. Our goal is to promote diversity and inclusion, with particular effort to phase out all-male speaker panels to ensure balanced representation and promotion of women in technology and business.

Read more

Manage Your Schedule:

You can manage your schedule in ‘My Planner’ which can be found in the menu at the top of the page on desktop or on the homepage in the app.

Control your availability and view your meetings by selecting ‘My meetings’ from the left hand menu on desktop or the meetings (2nd) icon in the app. Here you will also find ‘My schedule’ where you will see the sessions you have added.

Connection Request:

A connection request is sent when you send a message to another delegate. On their profile, you will see a ‘Connect with [name]’ box on desktop where you will be able to send them a message or click the connect button on their profile in the app.

The recipient will receive a notification that you would like to connect with them and they will be able to either accept or decline this. If you see an icon of two heads next to a contact, it means that the person has already accepted your request. If you see a clock icon, it means your connection request is still pending.

When they accept your connection request, you will exchange contact details, just like a virtual business card. You can export the contacts you make at the end of the summit by clicking the People icon and then selecting export.

Send and Receive Meeting Requests:

You can see your pending or confirmed meetings in ‘My Planner’ and then by clicking the ‘My meetings’ tab on the left hand side on desktop or the meetings (2nd) icon in the app. You can cancel a confirmed or pending meeting by clicking ‘Cancel Request’ (if it was pending) or ‘Cancel Meeting’ (if it was confirmed). You can also manage your availability by clicking ‘Make unavailable’ for specific meeting slots.

Remember the platform automatically adjusts to your local timezones (for agenda, meetings, available times etc).
