      What is the matchmaking tool?+

      With our in-house built BBTC Matchmaking tool, you will have a tailor-made agenda to meet the most relevant people for you.

      This tool enables arranging not only the contact building meetings, but also the seats at lunchtime! All of it according to the professionals’ and the organisations’ interests.

      Where it is not possible to organize all the requested conversations on the same day as the event, participants will be provided with contact details of the different representatives of the organisations to enable them to arrange meetings in a virtual manner.

      Furthermore, participants will be able to consult their personalized agenda by means of the Bizkaia Talent app (available for Android and iOS).

      What does the Contact Building slot consist of?+

      At the BBTC you will discover several different spaces to extend your network of contacts but if what you are looking for is to organize a brief conversation with a representative of one of the Basque organisations which are taking part in the event, this is the correct place for you.

      These are 15-minute slots designed for you to be able to establish a more personal initial face-to-face contact with these organisations with which in most cases you will share a common interest. It is important to underline that these meetings are not job interviews.

      Bear in mind that the Contact Building slot could be a starting point for the exploration of not only collaborative work, but also company-related, or any other type of collaboration.

      Is there any reference material that I could consult to get to know more about the work field in the Basque Country?+

      ATTENDANCE

      Confirmation of attendance+

      We are counting on your attendance to ensure that the event, the meetings, the contact building and the workshops can be well organized. For this reason, it is necessary that when the time comes you confirm your attendance, and should you be unable to attend, that you cancel your participation.

      Many thanks for contributing to ensure that the event is as efficient and serious as possible.

      What is included in the ticket?+

      The ticket certifies that you have been registered correctly in the BBTC together with details of your participation at the conference.

      Do I need to print my ticket?+

      No, you don’t.

      Can I transfer my ticket to another person?+

      No, you can’t. Due to the high personalization of the BBTC, on the one hand, you should cancel your participation. On the other hand, the other person should register for the event.

      When and where can I collect my BBTC badge?+

      At the beginning of the event, you will receive your badge at the registration table. We recommend that you display it throughout the event to enable the other participants to identify you and to be able to share your contact details with the other participants.

      Furthermore, the Bizkaia Talent team will be at your disposition throughout the duration of the BBTC event to assist you in whatever matter.

      Can I collect several badges at the same time?+

      No, you can’t. Each person must collect his/her own badge.

      I don’t have Bizkaia Talent’s app yet. How can I download it?+

      This will be another BBTC work tool. Moreover, via the Bizkaia Talent App, amongst other functions, you will be able to know who else is participating at the event and you will have access to your personal agenda. You can download the app searching for Bizkaia Talent on PlayStore or iStore for devices with Android and iOS operative systems respectively.

      MAIN SPACES OF THE BBTC

      Company presentations and the Open Discussion Forum+

      More than 50 company presentations and a plenary open debate will shape the first part of the conference.

      In order for you to maximise your performance and take full advantage of the event, we encourage you to participate actively in the presentations, expressing all of your anxieties and asking the representatives of the participating companies any questions you like.

      Networking lunch+

      The main aim of the working day is to carry out networking and we want you to take full advantage of every possible opportunity to do this. Therefore, and with a view to extending your network of contacts, we will assign you with a particular table for lunch.

      The tables are not arranged at random. The seating plan has been designed to facilitate contacts with professionals who are participating in other areas of the event.

      Contact building+

      After the networking lunch, some participants will have an opportunity to meet the representatives of the organisations on a one-to-one basis during a round of previously arranged personal meetings agreed by both sides.

      If you have arranged a personal conversation, this means that you will have 15 minutes to get to know the representatives of the organisations in person and make initial contact with them.

      You do not need to bring business cards with you. The organisations are already in possession of your CV and contact details and are able to manage any contact that you make with them via the Bizkaia Talent App. We will now detail certain points that could be helpful with a view to building up a network of professional contacts to generate future business:

      Remember that the conversations do not have to be focused on work. The slot can be a starting point to begin to explore possibilities for a working collaboration, but also company collaborations or any other kind of cooperation.

      • Be clear about what you are offering at a personal or company level (if you are looking for opportunities with Basque companies in your sector).
      • Decide in advance what your objectives are for the event.
      • Think about how you wish to present yourself and prepare a brief but concise presentation message.
      • Take note of all the professionals and organisations that interest you in the course of the BBTC. This will help you to follow-up your contacts efficiently.

      Workshops+

      Four thematic workshops will take place during the 12th Be Basque Talent Conference. To participate in these, it is necessary to have registered in advance and that Bizkaia Talent has authorised your participation. You can consult the content of the workshops here.

      After the event+

      The 12th Be Basque Talent Conference aims to be a starting point for making professional links between the numerous individuals who are participating in the event. In order to deepen the network of contacts that you have built up within the framework of the BBTC it is essential to maintain and continue working on the contacts that you have made with a wide range of individuals a the BBTC event, for example by means of the Bizkaia Talent App or the Be Basque Talent Network of which you now form a part.

      Both the participating organisations and the other professionals will be delighted to continue exploring new opportunities for future collaboration.
