It is possible, depending on the events, to be able, in addition to sending connection requests, to send meeting requests to people or exhibitors.

You can easily book meetings with the "Book a Meeting" button directly accessible from any People view. It is designed to make scheduling meetings, including multi-participant sessions, more efficient and user-friendly. It's also available on both desktop and mobile. To know more, click here.
Sending a meeting request to an exhibitor
There are two ways to book a meeting with an exhibitor:
You can book a meeting with one of the members of the exhibiting company.
You can book a meeting with the exhibiting company directly.
To do this, go to the page of an exhibiting company by going to the list of exhibitors:
Click on one of the proposed meeting slots. If you want to see other slots, click on see more slots.
After selecting meeting a slot, choose a meeting place and write a message if you wish. Once done, click on "send meeting request."
A pending meeting is blocking a meeting slot. If your meeting is not confirmed or refused after a few days, do not hesitate to cancel it in order to free up this meeting slot. If you want to make a change to the time or location of the meeting, you will need to cancel the existing meeting and send a new request.
Sending a meeting request to another attendee
If the organizer of the event has enabled meetings, you will be able to book meetings with other attendees.
You can book up to 5 meetings with another attendee.

2. Click on one of the proposed meeting slots. If you want to see other slots, click on see more slots.

A pending meeting is blocking a meeting slot. If your meeting is not confirmed or refused after a few days, do not hesitate to cancel it in order to free the blocked meeting slot. If you want to make a change to the time or location of the meeting, you will need to cancel the existing meeting and send a new request.
Booking multiple meetings
You can book another meeting even if a meeting request is still pending.
If you want to create other meetings with this attendee (up to 5 meetings), you can just send a new invitation using the same workflow, even if the previous invitation is still pending.
When you reach the limit of 5 meeting requests, you'll see a message asking you to cancel some of the previous requests to create new ones.
