Your connections can be accessed from 'connections' in the main menu by clicking on your profile picture in the top left-hand corner of your app.

This lead scanning function is controlled by the ticket owner and can be enabled from your ticket dashboard.
This can be accessed from the bottom navigation bar on the home page of the mobile app.

Once you scan an attendee they need to approve the scan on their app.

Masterclasses are 100 person capacity. Each room will have a screen for presentations, 4 handheld microphones and a lectern with a microphone.
Your company logo will feature on the Masterclasses page on the Collision website. It will also feature on the event schedule in our app, where attendees will be able to add it to their schedule.
Masterclasses are an opportunity to position yourself as a thought-leader, so presenting curated, engaging, high-quality, topical content is a must. Avoid sales pitches at all costs.
Share your experience, insights and know-how in areas such as leadership, strategy, policy, entrepreneurship and/or development.
Please ensure you book in your masterclass time slot as soon as possible. The Partner Success team will share a link with you to confirm this time slot. Time slots are granted on a first-come, first-served basis.
Once your time slot is confirmed you will be sent a link to submit your masterclass title, synopsis and host details. The deadline to submit this information is May 10. If you are hosting more than one masterclass session, you will receive a unique booking link and content form for each session.
We recommend having between 1-4 masterclass hosts. All hosts must be assigned tickets from your ticket allocation.
Ensure presentations are in 16:9 widescreen format.
Ensure any audio and/or video embedded in your presentation is in .mov format and set to autoplay.
If you plan on recording your masterclass session, please note filming is restricted to handheld devices only. The use of tripods and other intrusive equipment is prohibited
If you wish to collect the details of everyone who attends your masterclass, it is recommended that at least two of your team members use their Collision app to scan attendee’s QR codes as they enter the masterclass room. This allows you to contact attendees post event in relation to your masterclass.
The Partner Success team will send you a form that you will share with startups you want to bring to Collision.
Your startups should fill this form out themselves.
The information given will be used to decide whether the startup is eligible for our startup programme.
It is highly recommended to get startups to submit the form as soon as possible, as this allows time to replace unsuccessful applicants.
Please ensure to provide all details by May 9. Failure to do so will impact our ability to print items with your branding included.
Startups must abide by the following requirements to be accepted:
Must be less than 5 years old
Must have their own unique software product or solutions or they must be working on their own connected hardware devices
Consultancies, agencies, developers, marketing/advertising agencies, public companies will not be accepted

The startup cannot already be registered to exhibit at the event

Startups submitted that do not meet our criteria will not be accepted. This can lead to delays in the onboarding of approved startups.
For any unsuccessful startups, Partners will be given the opportunity to find replacements within an agreed timeline. If a Partner remains with unused Startup packages by May 9 the packages will be exchanged for three general attendee tickets.
If accepted, the startups will get placed into one of our three startup tracks:
ALPHA – To qualify for the ALPHA track typically, the startup can have raised up to US$1 million in funding
BETA – To qualify for the BETA track typically, the startup can have raised up to US$5 million in funding
GROWTH – To qualify for the GROWTH track typically, the startup will have raised more than US$5 million in funding

Partner startup islands:
If a partner is bringing 8 startups they will exhibit together for the three days of the event. Please note the minimum requirement to maintain this startup island is 6 startups.
If a partner is bringing 24 startups, each startup will only exhibit for one day of the event. Startup boards will be switched each day to accommodate all 24 startups (particular exhibition days cannot be requested). Please note the minimum to maintain this startup island is 18 startups.
If the minimum number is not met, startups will instead exhibit in their industry-vertical and not on an island.
