Community Guidelines

If another attendee behaves inappropriately, you have several ways to respond:

What's not allowed

Community Guidelines

The following behaviors are prohibited on the talque platform and can lead to account suspension:

Positive & relevant communication

Community Guidelines

We want a friendly, professional exchange among all attendees. Please follow these principles:

Firewall configuration

Technical & Security

On corporate networks, firewalls or proxy servers can sometimes block certain connections. For talque to work properly, the following should be allowed:

Test Jitsi group calls

Technical & Security

Group calls — for networking tables or small sessions, for example — should also be tested in advance.

Test Jitsi 1:1 calls

Technical & Security

Before the event goes live, you should test a 1:1 call together with a test partner to make sure your firewall and browser setup work correctly.

System requirements

Technical & Security

talque runs in the browser — there's nothing to install. For video calls, livestreams, and chat to work reliably, we recommend the following setup:

Languages & country codes

Languages and countries must be specified in a standardized format — otherwise the system can't map the values correctly.

Data format & required fields

For the upload to work smoothly, some fields need to follow specific formats. Here are the most important rules:

Download templates

We provide ready-made templates for the most common upload scenarios. Use them to bring your data into the right format — the column headers (first row) must not be changed.

Matchmaking questions

Invitations & Onboarding

Matchmaking often starts with a question to classify attendees into a participant category (such as attendee, speaker, exhibitor, press, startup, …). The questions you ask in onboarding can be modeled differently per attendee category.

Set up onboarding

Invitations & Onboarding

After registration, all attendees go through a few questions — we call this onboarding. Onboarding starts with two mandatory introductory questions where attendees can confirm their name and job credentials.

Invite speakers and partner staff

Invitations & Onboarding

You also need to invite speakers and partner staff. There are different ways to attach partner staff to partner profiles — some work by adding the partner company to the invitations. Optionally, you can invite the partner editor to the platform if you want them to review their profile from a user's perspective.

Invite attendees

Invitations & Onboarding

In talque there are two ways to bring people in: right after event setup, you've invited content contributors like speakers and partners to add their content — that flow is link-based and doesn't require contributors to register on talque.

Integrate Slido for Q&A and polls

Video & Livestreams

If you broadcast your event via livestream, Slido lets you communicate with the audience through Q&A, polls, and discussions.

Session chat vs. external chat and polling tools

Video & Livestreams

The session chat in the talque app enables direct interaction between attendees and moderators during an event. This feature is enabled automatically and can collect individual questions and comments. External tools for additional interactive features can be connected — polls and feedback are then possible in real time.

Streaming to YouTube

Video & Livestreams

Before you start, make sure your account is enabled for streaming!

Streaming from studio software

Video & Livestreams

Livestreaming from studio software like OBS, Vimeo Studio, or YouTube Creator Studio lets you produce a high-quality livestream with a professional look. The software includes a switcher you can use to swap and combine different input sources. It also encodes the resulting video stream as RTMP.

Streaming from Zoom

Video & Livestreams

One of the easiest ways to produce a livestream is from the Zoom video conferencing platform. Invite the speakers and moderators into a Zoom call. Then stream the call directly from the Zoom cloud to a streaming platform like Vimeo.

Video livestreams

Video & Livestreams

Video livestreams are the right choice when you want to reach a wide audience or need a seamless integration with talque. They're also perfect when you want to share your live events on other social media platforms.

Embed external videos (Vimeo & YouTube)

Video & Livestreams

To embed external videos in sessions or partner profiles, you need to book the optional “Video integration” feature. Please contact us for more info.

Video content in sessions

Video & Livestreams

If you want to add video content to your sessions, you have several options:

Upload a handout for your session

You can upload a handout for your session, which attendees can then download. The file can be uploaded via the session form you received by email from the organizer. It's the same link you use to edit your speaker profile.

Bring speakers into content creation

The link-based flow is designed to make it easy for contributors to get started: speakers receive an email “Your session on {event name}”, click the Edit button, and see the forms. It includes the speaker profile form and a form for each session.

Edit your speaker profile

When you join the talque event after receiving the invitation email, you create your talque account. During this onboarding flow, you can enter basic information for your speaker profile about yourself and your work (role/company, etc.). This information is part of every talque account and can be edited any time you're signed in to your talque account.

Set up speaker profiles

When you set up your event in talque, start by creating speaker profiles: in the admin area, go to Admin > Speakers and click + Add.

Add additional event admins

Partners & Exhibitors

To add colleagues as event admins, two steps are needed:

Delete vs. remove participants

Partners & Exhibitors

Deleting a profile can only be done by the user themselves. If a user is already a member of one or more other networks and has accumulated contacts/chat messages there, deleting the account affects all that data.

Set up a pitch contest

Partners & Exhibitors

In a talque pitch contest, you present the pitch contestants on a partner tab. Contestants can contribute content for their profile via our partner form. You can also link sessions and attendee profiles to the pitch contestant's partner profile.

Performance Dashboard

Partners & Exhibitors

The partner dashboard gives you an overview of attendee engagement with staff and your profile page. The data is processed via an analytics framework and is therefore only fully available with a delay of 48 hours.

Get the lead list

Partners & Exhibitors

Lead lists can be downloaded by qualified partner staff on the partner profile:

Partner Form: have partners contribute content

Partners & Exhibitors

The link-based flow is designed to make it easy for contributors to get started: partners receive an email, click the Edit button in the email, and see the form.

Add company admins and staff

Partners & Exhibitors

To get the most out of your partner profile on talque, we offer the option to add additional team members from your company. In the right area under the Details title, you can set up the company description. Right below that, you can add additional profile editors (company admins) and staff to the profile.

Send invitations to partner admins

Partners & Exhibitors

As partner admins, people are invited to manage their partner profile and use the following platform features:

Set up partner profiles

Partners & Exhibitors

To set up a partner profile, you have to enter basic data such as the company name and the editor contact for each partner. After that, you can reach out to the partners so they can complete their profile with content like contact details, an introduction, images, and videos.

Partner categories

Partners & Exhibitors

There are two partner profile categories: “Exhibitors” and “Sponsors”. To start, you decide which category your partner falls under.

Basic Settings — overview

Partners & Exhibitors

Partner profiles on the talque platform let companies showcase the following:

Use hyperlinks in text fields

Sessions & Program

If you want to use links in text fields as hyperlinks, you can use the following format:

Text formatting with Markdown

Sessions & Program

Markdown syntax in our event app is a way to format text on the web. Markdown lets you make words bold or italic and create lists. Most of the time, Markdown is regular text with a few non-alphabetic characters like # or *.

Session access (access & visibility)

Sessions & Program

There are two ways to control access to specific sessions:

Rooms, formats & filters

Sessions & Program

Rooms, formats, topics, and program filter buttons are used to structure your event. Planning the structure up front saves a lot of work because you don't have to update sessions individually later.

Create sessions — large event

Sessions & Program

For larger events, we recommend starting with planning the event structure — including rooms, formats, and additional session filters. First create the rooms and filters you need, then you can include this existing information when you create a session.

Create sessions — small event

Sessions & Program

If you're new to talque and planning a simple event with a limited number of sessions, we recommend creating speakers and sessions directly in talque. Start with the speakers, then move on to the sessions.

Sessions & Program

Go to the Agenda menu and pick the session relevant to you in the talque app. The Enter Session button appears 3 minutes before the session starts. Speakers and moderators see this button 30 minutes before a session format begins.

Successful event participation

Networking & Meetings

Attendees will gladly spend time on your profile and be open to a connection if they find interesting presentations and new information. So show engaging videos with real value rather than standard promotional clips. Offer information that isn't available elsewhere.

VIP Networking Tables

Networking & Meetings

VIP networking tables let senior attendees of your event meet other attendees in 1:1 meetings within a compressed time frame. VIPs can pre-screen their conversation partners via a screening question.

Manage direct calls

Networking & Meetings

Direct calls are an optional feature often included in premium exhibitor packages at trade fairs. They let attendees call a company's contact persons directly without scheduling an appointment.

Exchange files and documents

Networking & Meetings

To the left of the text input in the chat, you'll find a blue + button. Click it to send files and start video calls directly. This works once a two-way chat exchange has happened with the other person.

Calendar & calendar integration

Networking & Meetings

The integration is designed to import your appointments so that the best 1:1 meeting suggestions can be made based on them. Your own appointments are visible to no one but you.

Mark attendees as favorites

Networking & Meetings

You can mark attendees as favorites by clicking the star on the profile picture in the participant detail view. To see your favorites, use the star toggle in the top right of the participants page.

How does matchmaking work?

Networking & Meetings

In the Participants tab, you'll see other attendees who may share interests with you. Matchmaking is based on an algorithm built into the platform that uses content and information attendees provide during onboarding to generate personalized matches.

Set up meeting spots

Networking & Meetings

Meeting spots can be areas like a coffee corner or a business lounge with a set number of seats (not numbered). Such spots can be created as a single cumulative entry. A meeting spot with low priority can also be just an orientation point where people can meet.

Set up meeting times

Networking & Meetings

To set up meeting times for virtual 1:1 meetings, go to Admin > Participant meetings > Settings > On-premise networking times and add the meeting times. These times apply to all meetings scheduled via the Request Meeting button.

Schedule 1:1 meetings

Networking & Meetings

You can request a 1:1 meeting with another attendee or partner staff member by clicking the relevant button on their profile. In the next step, you'll see possible time slots that are open for both of you. Pick one and the meeting request is sent to the other person, who can accept or decline.

How can I connect with other attendees while networking?

Networking & Meetings

In the Participants tab, you can click on a participant and reach out via Chat, Request Meeting, or Request Video Call (depending on whether the event is on-site, hybrid, or virtual).

Layout of the talque web app

Getting Started

The talque web app consists of three main areas:

Account vs. leaving an event

If you haven't turned off the notification function in talque, you'll always receive an email notification when, for example, a chat message comes in. If you don't want this, you can turn it off by clicking your profile picture and then Settings > Notifications.

Language & time zone

Account & Settings

Click your profile picture and then Settings > Language.

How to set up a password in talque

Account & Settings

talque recommends using a Magic Link for easy access. If you'd rather set a password, the process is quick and straightforward. You can reset your password at any time and view your login history in the Security tab.

Change your email address in the talque app

Account & Settings

If you'd like to keep your talque account but change your email address, follow these steps:

Delete your talque user account

Account & Settings
