The Exchange.

TECH Events is the platform's curated layer on top of the industry calendar — conferences, regulator briefings, webinars, and TECH-hosted invitation-only roundtables, filtered to what actually matters for your sector and stage. It is also the network-effect surface: you see which of your connections and active pipeline counterparties will be in the same room, making side-meeting coordination a single click rather than a 20-email thread.

Event categories

Who's going — the network signal

For every event, TECH surfaces two lists:

• Your network attending — your active connections + pipeline deal counterparties who have registered. Click through to message them or suggest a side-meeting.
• Members attending — the full list of TECH members registered (respects each member's privacy preferences; members can opt out of appearing in attendee lists).

Planning a booth visit or a meeting-heavy conference trip becomes fundamentally different: instead of a dozen parallel LinkedIn threads, you open the event, see who is attending, and pick up the existing TECH messaging thread with each person you want to catch up with. The context — what deal you're working on with them, what stage it's in, what the last conversation was about — is right there.

Calendar integration

Registering for an event creates a calendar entry you can add to Google Calendar, Outlook, Apple Calendar, or any ICS-compatible application. The calendar entry includes:

• Event name, date, location (or videoconference link).
• Your registered time slot (if multi-day with multiple sessions).
• Any side-meetings you've arranged through TECH for that event.
• A link back to the TECH event page for last-minute updates.

Cancelling the TECH registration automatically updates the calendar entry. Cross-device synchronization is handled by your calendar provider.

Side-meeting coordination

For any event, you can propose a side-meeting with another attendee. The flow:

1. From the event page, click "Propose side-meeting" on an attendee.
2. Pick a time slot; TECH shows availability if the attendee has shared their conference schedule.
3. Send — the other side receives the proposal in TECH messaging and their calendar (once accepted).
4. Both parties see the confirmed side-meeting on the event page alongside the main conference schedule.

TECH roundtables — invitation curation

TECH-hosted roundtables are curated events, capped at 6-8 members per session to keep the conversation material. Invitations are extended based on:

• Alignment between the roundtable topic and the attendee's active pipeline / stated partnership objectives.
• Complementary representation (mix of banks, fintechs, investors) rather than single-role groupings.
• Trust Score threshold (members in the 85+ band).
• Attendance history (active members get priority; members who RSVP and no-show drop down the priority list).

Roundtables are held under Chatham House Rule by default — what is said is quotable, who said it is not. Recordings, when created, are shared only with confirmed attendees.

Creating your own events

Professional and Enterprise plans can create events and invite their network. Common use cases:

• Partner summits — your annual gathering of integration partners.
• Product launches — demo days for a new capability.
• Roadshows — city-by-city calendar of investor or customer events.
• Advisory calls — regular rhythm with a specific partner segment.

Privacy

Attendee lists respect member privacy. Every member controls:

• Whether their attendance is visible in full attendee lists (default: visible to their direct connections only).
• Whether their registered sessions or side-meetings are visible in conflict-detection (default: visible to their connections, not to strangers).
• Opt-in to broader public listing for members who want discoverability (opt-in, not default).
