SBC Connect is your go-to companion app for  SBC Summit – a powerful, all-in-one app we’ve built in-house to help you get the most out of your event experience. From conference content to networking, it’s designed to support you before, during, and after the summit.

With over a decade of running world-class events – and countless conversations with attendees about what really counts – we decided to take matters into our own hands. 

Why? Because no one understands the needs of our audience better than we do. And just like that, SBC Connect was born.

Best of all, it’s incredibly easy to access. Available on both desktop and mobile (just download it via iOS or Android), SBC Connect brings everything together, meeting scheduling, company directories, real-time updates, and more, right at your fingertips.

Let’s take a look at how SBC Connect can help you make the most of your SBC Summit experience.

First Things First

If you’ve got a ticket to the event, you have access to SBC Connect.

The app is officially launching on Wednesday, 13th August, and you will receive an email from us letting you know it’s ready to use. Keep an eye out for an email from support@sbcconnect.com (if you can’t seem to find it, it might be hiding in your spam folder, so don’t forget to check there too)!

If you have never used the app before, you will also receive an email with a subject line that reads “Welcome to SBC Connect.” To finalise your account setup, you simply need to click the button in the email and set your password.

Magic Link

A magic link is a secure, password-free way to log in to SBC Connect. Instead of entering a password, you simply request a one-time-use link sent to the email you used to register.

Click the link, and you’re in! No codes, no setup screens, and no fuss. It’s fast, convenient, and especially handy if you’re logging in for the first time or don’t want to remember another password.

When signing in, you’ll either be prompted to enter your password or request a magic link, depending on your account setup. If you choose the magic link, check your inbox for an email titled “Your SBC Connect magic link login”, click it, and you’re good to go. If the link expires, don’t worry — you can easily request a new one or create a password for quicker access in the future.

Why Should I Download the App?

Here’s what you can do with your event companion, SBC Connect.

• Private User Chats: Whether you want to spark a conversation ahead of the event, or you’re running late to a scheduled meeting, having a safe, secure, and private way to chat is always helpful! Thankfully, the SBC Connect app has its own built-in chat feature that lets you connect instantly with other attendees.
   
• Comprehensive Company List: Everyone who attends SBC Summit will no doubt have their own business action plan in place. But this means nothing if you can’t get them in the room with them!

The Homepage

When you log in to SBC Connect, you’ll find everything you need right on the homepage – super easy! You’ll see the main menu, a quick overview of your meeting updates (confirmed, declined, pending), and shortcuts to Your Schedule, Your Messages, and Your Favourites (sessions, attendees, companies).

First things first: When you log in for the first time, take a minute to update your profile and calendar availability. Just head to your Profile Settings here.

Here’s what you can update:

• Your name, last name, and company, plus your job title
• Your social media handles and website URLs
• Your notification preferences
• Your calendar settings – so only your chosen free time slots will show up to others who want to book a meeting

Pro Tip: Write a short intro for your profile that clearly explains what you’re looking for at the event. It’ll save you from random meeting requests and help you connect with the right people. The more details you give, the better your experience!

You can also upload your photo to make it easier for people to recognise you – especially helpful for those who haven’t met you before.

Used SBC Connect before? Great! Your details are probably already there. But if anything’s changed – like your job title – double-check that your profile is up to date.

The Navigation Menu

On the left-hand side, you will find the following:

• Schedule: Your go-to overview of everything happening at SBC Summit. Easily browse the full event schedule, add items to your calendar, and check activity locations via the interactive map. It’s perfect for a quick refresher on key timings — from conference opening hours and meet-up slots, to evening networking events like the SBC Summit Opening Party.
   
• Agenda: This is your personalised conference planner. Build your own agenda by saving sessions to your favourites or calendar. Explore everything from the headline keynotes on the Super Stage to deep dives on the Global and Emerging Markets Stage. Each listing includes panel descriptions, times, speakers, and locations, so you can plan every moment of your day with confidence.
   
• Attendees: You can browse the list of registered attendees. Access info about them, request a meeting, use the chat button, or add someone to your favourites to easily keep track of connections. Make sure to use the “Advanced user search” feature for more targeted results.
   
• Companies: As SBC’s global flagship event, SBC Summit is set to welcome thousands of companies from across the globe! Within the app, you’ll find an alphabetically sorted directory of all participating companies, which includes the number of delegates from each company, so you can quickly check their job titles and see if they’re relevant to you. You can also search for specific companies, add them to favourites, or request meetings with the company’s employees.
   
• Exhibitors: In this section, you’ll find exhibiting companies along with their stand numbers and showfloor location. The company names are clickable, leading you to further info like company introductions, email addresses, brochures, and videos if available. Don’t forget to favourite companies to keep them organised in your favourites list!
   
• Sponsors: The same applies to sponsors – they just don’t have a stand number. However, if a sponsor is also exhibiting, the stand number will be noted below the company name.
   
• Floor Plan: Navigate SBC Summit’s expo floor with ease using the interactive floor plan. Simply type a company name into the search bar to instantly locate its position on the map. With the showfloor strategically segmented by industry vertical, there’s plenty to explore — and this feature will be your go-to tool for finding exhibitors quickly and making the most of your time onsite.

On the right-hand side, you’ll find an additional navigation menu that provides easy access to the following features:
