One2One Scheduler

Building strong partnerships is at the heart of WAVE World Conference 2026 and our One2One Scheduler, powered by Minglo.app, makes it simple.

The platform allows every delegate to pre-book meetings with fellow participants, ensuring you connect with the right partners at the right time. From potential new trade lanes to strengthening existing relationships, the One2One meetings are where real business begins.


Access to the scheduler opens 20 days before the conference, exclusively for registered delegates. This gives you time to browse the delegate list, send meeting requests, and build a personal agenda that fits your priorities.


Once in Langkawi, you’ll arrive with a ready-made schedule, saving time and letting you focus on conversations that matter. At WAVE 2026, efficiency meets opportunity -  and the One2One meetings will be the engine of your new connections.
