With a total of 2221 logins, the international delegates were actively logging into the online diary system, viewing and selecting the companies they wanted to meet. "The international market is incredibly open to online systems," states Tracy Watcham of Outsmart Marketing, initiator of the business matchmaking program. "This plays a large role in the success of scheduling meeting opportunities through the event."

The Nedbank Capital Business Matchmaking Program received fantastic comments from delegates using the system as well as the onsite services received.

"A friendly face at the helpdesk is essential in delivering this matchmaking service," mentions Watcham. "Outsmart Marketing prides itself on customer-orientated staff and a high service delivery."

Nedbank Capital and the USA based conference organisers, were so impressed with the outcome of the Outsmart Marketing Business Matchmaking Program that the sponsorship has been renewed for Mining Indaba 2008.

The Results
With over 1000 meeting requests, 80% of requests resulted in confirmed meetings at Mining Indaba. 95% of the meetings were confirmed through pre-show activities. 59% of meetings took place in the first day, mainly in the four private Nedbank meeting rooms in the Nedbank Business Matchmaking Lounge.

Comments on the Nedbank Capital Business Matchmaking Program

"Thank you for the opportunity to comment. I have to say the Nedbank place was a point of reference during the mining Indaba. The location and ambiance were superb. The Business Matchmaking team were very professional and friendly and always willing to assist. In fact I would say the major value I derived was through the meetings organised via you. I hope for the many years to come you will continue to host be our hosts." Regards, Sango Ntsaluba, Executive Chairman & CEO, Amabubesi Investments (Pty) Ltd

"I found the Nedbank Capital Business Matchmaking Program to be of great help. I got to speak, in person, to people who are usually spread across the globe. It was a great opportunity to grow my business and save some money doing it. I would like to compliment the ladies who attended the desk were very professional and helpful. This also made it quite worth while. Thanks for your efforts." Maurice Mostert, Business Development Manager, Micromine Africa

"I found the matchmaking programme to be of enormous use during Indaba. In fact I used the service to set up around 80% of my meetings. There was never a serious issue in finding a location in which to hold a meeting. It is a fantastic service that I hope to use again in 2008. I congratulate the Outsmart Marketing team organizing the meetings, who were able to reschedule and contact delegates when meetings were delayed or postponed. They were professional and very eager to help. I also would like to thank the sponsor who must have received fantastic coverage from the service." Rupert McCammon, Chief Executive Officer, Capital Resources LLP
