At the exact time that bookings for each strand open, registered delegates will receive an email with the live link to the bookings.  Click that link.  

You will be prompted to sign in if you aren't already, so make sure you have your login details handy. This is the email and password you registered with.  

On the booking page you will see a long list of every available meeting.  

By the time bookings open, you should have already conducted your research and know which meetings you wish to book.   

The fastest way to find that meeting is use CTRL+F and search for the hosts name or company.  

Or you can use the filters at the top of the page.  

Select the meetings you want by ticking the box next to them (maximum of two) and click the SAVE MEETINGS button at the bottom of the page.

Extensive research is imperative before booking Ready, Steady, Pitch! Meetings to be sure you are meeting with the right buyer for your project.  

Ready, Steady, Pitch! Briefs can be found on each host profile on the Screen Forever website.  

Yes, you are welcome to bring pitch materials to show the buyer on your laptop or iPad. However given the buzzy nature of the Ready, Steady, Pitch! event we suggest sending any video materials through after the meeting rather than sharing during the pitch. 

All sessions, meetings and events are listed in AEST (Queensland time) on the SF website. 

You can adjust the time zone settings to your local time zone on the website or on the mobile app (once released). 

Ensure you set your time zone to AEST while on the ground in Queensland, and change back to your local time zone when you return home if you are participating in the Online Global Market.
