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.
Find the person you want to connect with by browsing or using the search function.
Use the "Refine" filter to narrow down attendees by groups, roles, or other criteria.
Click on the attendee's name or profile card to view their detailed profile.
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 send connection requests:
Verify that the event has "Enable Public Profiles" turned on
Check if the attendee has chosen to be hidden from the attendee list
Ensure you haven't previously sent a request to this person
Contact the event organizer if connection features appear to be disabled
