WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE PLATFORM PRF IS USING?
We will use a customised version of Airmeet.
HOW WILL I KNOW WHO I AM SPEAKING WITH?
Attendee profiles will be provided at virtual tables, virtual booths, and the speed networking platform. This will ensure that the attendees are always aware of who they are engaging with, giving them all the information they need to establish business relationships.
DO ATTENDEES NEED TO DOWNLOAD ANY SOFTWARE OR PROGRAMS?
Attendees do not require any software downloads or additional subscriptions. The Airmeet platform is browser-based, and provides end-to-end encryption and is GDPR-compliant to ensure data protection.
HOW WILL THE VIDEO COMMUNICATIONS BE POWERED?
Video communications on Airmeet are powered by Agora.io, enabling real-time high-quality video chat between attendees.
WHAT INTERNET BROWSERS DO YOU RECOMMEND?
The platform is compatible with most common browsers. However, we recommend the latest version of Chrome to be used for the best experience – Chrome 79 or later.
Other FAQ
WHAT HAPPENS IF THE PHYSICAL PRF IS CANCELLED?
We are in close contact with our in-country partners in Honduras, and are monitoring local laws and regulations and international health guidance every single day.
Our priority is to minimise the risk of exposure to Covid-19. If the safety of attendees cannot be guaranteed and hosting the event is inadvisable under guidance at the time, meaning the physical PRF event cannot take place in Honduras, ticket holders will be able to attend the Virtual PRF instead.
We will be providing regular updates related to this, and will be issuing a full update on 1 February 2021.
I'M A COFFEE PRODUCER AND WANT TO MEET INTERNATIONAL BUYERS. HOW CAN I DO THIS?
