If an event has six time slots and the participant is busy for two of them, the participant will only get four pre-scheduled meetings. This means, if a participant blocks out a large amount of time within their calendar, this could impact the number of meetings generated for them. #### If one participant says "No thanks" to another participant, a meeting will not be scheduled If a participant makes a "No thanks" preference on another participant, they will be scored as a '0' and no meeting will be generated between them. Any other score can result in a meeting, if there are enough slots to meet. #### The MustMeet scheduler will try to create as many meetings as possible The number of meetings at an event depends on a few factors: - No. of "0" scores (from 'No Thanks' preferences, "Met Before" or from using the 'Mutual preferences only' score modifier) - No. of participants (considering the balance between groups) - Participant availability - Participant meeting limits - No. of meeting slots You can increase the number of meetings by modifying these - for example, adding additional time slots to your locations, or finding more suppliers to meet all your buyers. #### Scores are primarily based on Preferences Participants that make more (positive) preferences to other participants will naturally get higher scores on average. Less-engaged participants will get lower scores (and potentially fewer meetings) as there is less data to base scores on. AI-scoring works to try to improve these scores where possible, but it cannot replace participant preferences entirely. #### Custom field data must be configured from participant to participant in order to be useful for scoring When calculating scores, we can use Custom Fields to give richer data to the AI to help with scoring. However these custom fields must be assigned to and shared by the Participant data types on both sides. They cannot be inferred from Company relationships. #### Participants without scores will not recieve meetings When adding new participants to a MustMeet event that's already in progress, remember to re-run the scores so that they can be calculated between the newcomer and all the existing participants. - [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) - [Integrations](https://support.grip.events/integrations?hsLang=en) - [MustMeet](https://support.grip.events/mustmeet?hsLang=en) - [Event Organizers](https://support.grip.events/event-organizers?hsLang=en) - [Grip MCP](https://support.grip.events/grip-mcp?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Grip Organiser MCP](https://support.grip.events/grip-mcp?hsLang=en#grip-organiser-mcp) [![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
