Two main technologies (SpotMe and Zoom) will enable you to connect and interact with other executives as follows:
- SpotMe enables you to create your profile, match with other participants, exchange business cards, post comments, chat, etc.
- Zoom connects you virtually during sessions via chat, Q&A, polling, breakout rooms, virtual cafés etc.
Our operating principle is that security and data protection come first and foremost. We have taken extra security measures in accordance with Zoom’s recommendations. These include adjusting security settings, enforcing usage of Zoom client instead of the web interface, customization of our weblink, and per-session invitation identifiers as well as the forced use of password-enabled invitations.
We believe that Zoom offers an unmatched user experience, including functionality that cannot be found elsewhere such as: breakout rooms, integrated voting/polls and 49 participants per screen with up to 300 participants in a meeting, and 10,000 participants in a webinar.
For the above reasons, and with the security measures in place we are confident that Zoom is the best choice to deliver the OWP liVe experience. If you still have concerns or require clarification, please do not hesitate to get in touch with us.
