Wellcome Floor Plan

Online Platform
CWIC23 will be using an online platform, called Brella, that will enable delegates to network, view sessions and find more information about the event. A link to access the web app has been sent to you with the join code, you can also download the mobile app to stay up to date while the event is happening (Google Play | App Store). In-person ticket includes virtual attendance so you can live stream any sessions that you are not attending, and can catch up with any sessions you miss after the event.

The key benefits of Brella for you are:

  • Tailored Matchmaking - AI powered matchmaking automatically matches you with attendees who have interests that align with your business goals
  • Participate in live Q&A sessions through the app
  • Engage with exhibitors and ask questions through a booth chat
  • Catch up on sessions you may have missed after the event
  • Become an active player in a large-scale reforestation program. For every 10 meetings you book through Brella, 1 tree will be planted!
