Joining The Network
The EIF networking portal is a private layer for the people who attend the Forum. Access is deliberately narrow, so that every person you meet on it is a verified stakeholder.
01
Secure your place at the Forum
Portal access follows attendance. Buy a ticket, or be confirmed as a speaker or sponsor. Your confirmed registration is what starts the process - an account on its own does not grant access.
02
Receive your invitation
Once your registration is confirmed, the EIF team reviews it and sends a single-use invitation link to the email address on your ticket. That link is how you create your portal account.
03
Verify your email
Activating the invitation sends you a verification email. Following it confirms the address and unlocks the portal - until then your account exists but cannot see the network.
04
Complete your profile
Tell us what you invest in or build, what you are looking for and what you can offer. The directory and the meeting recommendations are only as good as what people put in their profiles.
Why it works this way
High-density networking depends on everyone in the room belonging there. Tying portal access to confirmed attendance and a manual review is what keeps every introduction relevant - and it means your contact details are only ever visible to people who are genuinely coming.
