Before the event
Your schedule is built. Not discovered.
From application to event day, every step is designed to make every meeting as productive as possible before you walk in the door.
You complete your buyer profile
After your application is approved and your deposit is paid, you complete a structured buyer profile: your top three technology priorities, institution type, deal stage, budget range, and any vendor exclusions. This is what the matching engine scores against. The more specific you are, the better your matches.
Your account manager calls to confirm your profile
An ON:SITE account manager calls you within 3 business days of your profile submission to confirm your priorities and discuss your preferences before matching runs. If there is context that the form didn’t capture, this is where it goes in.
Matching runs, your draft schedule is built
At week 7–8, the matching engine scores every potential sponsor-buyer pairing on five dimensions. Your draft schedule is generated and shared with you. You review it. If anything doesn’t fit, your account manager adjusts before the schedule is locked.
You confirm your schedule, it locks
At week 10, you receive a confirmation call. Your schedule is reviewed and you confirm your attendance for every meeting on the list. Final schedules are locked at this point. Both you and each sponsor have confirmed every meeting.
Your briefing pack arrives one week before the event
You receive a pre-event briefing pack: your full meeting schedule, a profile for each confirmed sponsor including their solution overview and suggested talking points, the confirmed session agenda, and event logistics. You arrive prepared — not discovering things on the floor.
The day — 20 November 2026
What your day actually looks like.
Your schedule is confirmed before you arrive. Eight meetings. A buyers lounge between them. A main stage programme running in parallel. One day that moves your technology evaluation forward by months.
Your meeting schedule
Eight confirmed conversations. Not eight cold pitches.
- Every vendor has read your profile before they sit down
- You have read their briefing before you walk in
- Title and Platinum sponsors meet you in a soundproof private pod — no distractions, no overheard conversations
- Each meeting is 15 minutes with a confirmed agenda — not a rolling product demo
Between meetings
The buyers lounge and the main stage.
- The buyers lounge is credentialled access — FI Pass holders only. Quiet seating, charging, and a space to work or connect with peers between your meetings. Adjacent to the main stage.
- The main stage runs a full programme of keynotes and sessions throughout the day — open to all pass holders, tiered seating, no reservation required. Attend what's relevant. Skip what isn't.
Hosted lunch
FI Pass holders and confirmed sponsors only — by invitation. A separate private lunch environment away from the general delegate F&B area.
Networking dinner
Evening event at a separate venue. FI Pass holders are invited. Optional but recommended — the unstructured conversations often matter as much as the meetings.
Post-event
Submit your refund claim within 7 days at onsite.in/fi-refund. Deposit returned by bank transfer or UPI within 14 business days of claim approval.

Refund terms · clearly stated
Every condition. No ambiguity.
From application to event day, every step is designed to make every meeting as productive as possible before you walk in the door.
What counts as a verified meeting
A meeting is verified when the sponsor host confirms it on the day using the ON:SITE verification system, and you list it in your refund claim. Minimum 15 minutes. Only meetings with confirmed ON:SITE sponsors count — not conversations with other delegates, informal introductions, or group sessions.
If you dispute a meeting verification
Raise the dispute within the refund claim form. The ON:SITE organising team reviews disputed meetings in consultation with the relevant sponsor and, where required, the Advisory Group. The decision is final. Disputes are resolved within 10 business days of the claim deadline.
If you cancel before the event: full deposit refunded if cancelled more than 4 weeks out. No refund if cancelled less than 4 weeks before the event. Substitutions from the same institution accepted with at least 5 business days notice — the substitute must independently meet FI Pass eligibility criteria.
