Simply provide your **Event Details** below, and the calculator will immediately tell you if your configuration needs adjusting. Additionally, it will provide you with the ideal combination of Preference Limits to configure in the Grip Organizer Dashboard.      ### **Rules and Calculations for setting Preference Limits** #### **Must Meet Limits** - As a general rule of thumb, there should be an upper limit of 10% of Must Meets that both the Supplier and Buyer can select. Our general advice is to NOT have a minimum limit on Must Meets. - *For example, let’s say you have 200 Buyers and Suppliers, either group should be able to select no more than* ***20 Must Meets****.* #### **Meet Limits** - As a general rule of thumb, there should be a minimum of 10% of Meets that both the Supplier and Buyer select. Our general advice is to NOT have a maximum limit on Meets. - *For example, let’s say you want to generate 20 Meetings per Supplier. And there are 100 Suppliers. It should be possible to select at least* ***10 Meet*** *Preferences.* #### **No Thanks Limits** - As a general rule of thumb there should not be more than 50% of the meeting slots that need to be generated in No Thanks preferences. - *For example, let’s say you want to generate* ***50*** *meetings per Supplier. And there are* ***100*** *Suppliers. It should not be possible for a Buyer to set more than* ***25*** *No Thanks Preferences.* - [EVENT PARTICIPANTS](https://support.grip.events/event-participants?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Logging in](https://support.grip.events/event-participants?hsLang=en#logging-in) - [Managing your profile](https://support.grip.events/event-participants?hsLang=en#managing-your-profile) - [Networking on the platform](https://support.grip.events/event-participants?hsLang=en#networking-on-the-platform) - [Virtual events](https://support.grip.events/event-participants?hsLang=en#virtual-events) - [Exports](https://support.grip.events/event-participants?hsLang=en#exports) - [Event Exhibitors and Sponsors](https://support.grip.events/event-participants?hsLang=en#event-exhibitors-and-sponsors) - [GRIP ENGAGE](https://support.grip.events/grip-engage?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Event Setup & Configuration](https://support.grip.events/grip-engage?hsLang=en#event-setup-configuration) - [Profile & Data Management](https://support.grip.events/grip-engage?hsLang=en#profile-data-management) - [Integrations & APIs](https://support.grip.events/grip-engage?hsLang=en#integrations-apis) - [Event Design & Branding](https://support.grip.events/grip-engage?hsLang=en#event-design-branding) - [Event Agenda](https://support.grip.events/grip-engage?hsLang=en#event-agenda) - [Event Engagement](https://support.grip.events/grip-engage?hsLang=en#event-engagement) - [Grip Support](https://support.grip.events/grip-engage?hsLang=en#grip-support) - [MustMeet](https://support.grip.events/grip-engage?hsLang=en#mustmeet) - [Mobile App Management](https://support.grip.events/grip-engage?hsLang=en#mobile-app-management) - [Insights & Reporting](https://support.grip.events/grip-engage?hsLang=en#insights-reporting) - [GRIP MANAGE](https://support.grip.events/grip-manage?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Grip Manage - Integrations](https://support.grip.events/grip-manage?hsLang=en#grip-manage-integrations) - [Grip Manage - Company Portal](https://support.grip.events/grip-manage?hsLang=en#grip-manage-company-portal) - [Grip Manage - Emails](https://support.grip.events/grip-manage?hsLang=en#grip-manage-emails) - [Grip Manage - Registration](https://support.grip.events/grip-manage?hsLang=en#grip-manage-registration) - [Grip Manage - Side Events](https://support.grip.events/grip-manage?hsLang=en#grip-manage-side-events) - [Grip Manage - LQT](https://support.grip.events/grip-manage?hsLang=en#grip-manage-lqt) [![Chill listening crop-3](https://support.grip.events/hs-fs/hubfs/Grip-logo-512x512-light-1.png?width=24&height=24&name=Grip-logo-512x512-light-1.png "Chill listening crop-3")](https://www.grip.events) Grip Help Center Copyright © 2025, Grip
