Clueless: How to attend The Dots' online events?

Hi guys,
I've recently registered for several online events here on The Dots, one of which is today. Do they send you a link for the webinar later on? How does it work? I'm new here, please, don't be brutal!

  • Please attach the link to the event, I missed the Google Digital Marketing Strategy event because I spent 15 minutes digging around the website for it. This is so confusing!
  • @Cathy Wang this is very frustrating and really poor communication on part of the dots. This needs to be clearer and should really be changed so people are not missing out on events they were interested in. I suggest removing the "Im Interested Button" as it really does nothing.
  • @Cathy Wang Thanks for highlighting this, I will keep an eye out for it. However, the event I was hoping to join today does not have any other site mentioned. Am very confused...and a little frustrated!
  • Hi Greta, I am also struggling to join. I have all the RSVP emails and the 'coming soon' updates. It is happening now and there is no email or live link or anything that I can see that shows how you actually join. Also, I can't see any help :(
  • Hi @Greta Tikuzyte and @Chris Lynch!

    Many of the events on The Dots (like events on Facebook) are listings of events, but you need register via another site (Eventbrite etc.) so that the event organiser has your details and can email you with information of how to join the event.

    Clicking ‘I’m interested’ on The Dots means you’ll get reminders and your connections will find out about the event, but you need to see if there’s any other text in the main description linking to a registration page.
    See the arrow here as an example.

    Hope that helps!

    Thanks, Chris! That really is obscure. I visited the website of the organisation hosting the event and did the registration again. After that I received an email with the link for the event. The Dots could at least redirect you, apparently, their confirmation does nothing.
  • I had the same issue, Greta. I joined one yesterday and it was rather obscure - you had to sign up after you got your invitation/acceptance. I did this with a few seconds to spare and it worked. Today's one via a diferent system beat me. I signed up again and received an acceptance email but no link. Perhaps this should be done a day in advance?

    Chris.
