The Attendees section in Cadence allows you to build your professional network during events by connecting with other participants. When enabled by event administrators, you can view profiles, send connection requests, and communicate with other attendees through various channels. The connection process respects privacy settings configured in the Attendees Settings menu.
When to use
When you want to expand your professional network at an event
When you need to communicate with specific attendees
When you want to schedule one-on-one meetings with other participants
When you want to share contact information with colleagues
Before you start
Your ability to connect with others depends on the event's privacy settings. If "Enable Public Profiles" is disabled or if messaging is restricted to connections only, some features may be limited.
How to do it
Log in to your Cadence account.
Navigate to your event dashboard.
Click on "People" in the left sidebar menu.
Select "Attendees" from the submenu.
Browse the attendee directory to find people you want to connect with.
Use the search bar at the top of the attendee directory to quickly find specific attendees by name, company, or title.
Click on an attendee's name or profile card to view their detailed profile.
Review the attendee's profile information to learn more about them.
Click the "Connect" button on their profile to send a connection request.
If the "Connect" button is not visible, the event may have restricted connection capabilities or the attendee may have chosen to remain hidden.
Add a personalized message explaining why you'd like to connect (optional but recommended).
Submit your connection request by clicking "Send Request."
Wait for the attendee to accept your connection request.
Connection requests expire after the event ends, so it's best to connect during the active event period.
Access additional communication options once connected:
Direct messaging (if enabled)
Video chat (if enabled)
Email and phone contact (if visibility is enabled)
Manage your connections by visiting the "My Connections" section in your profile.
Troubleshooting
If you cannot see other attendees or send connection requests:
Verify that "Enable Public Profiles" is turned on for the event
Check if you need to be in the same group as the attendee to connect
Ensure you haven't previously declined a connection request from this person
