Connections is ARRIVE's performer network — a place to find other performers to work with. It's separate from booking requests (where hosts book you): Connections is performer-to-performer. Use it to find collaborators, band or group members, event partners, a replacement for a gig you can't make, support staff and crew, referral partners, and people to network with for the future.
Who can use Connections. Connections is a Pro or Featured feature, and it also requires at least one approved service on your profile. So to post and receive connection requests you need to (1) be on a Pro or Featured plan, and (2) have at least one service that has passed ARRIVE's review and is live.
If you're on a Free plan, you'll still see Connections in your dashboard — opening it shows you what's included and how to upgrade. If you're already on Pro or Featured but haven't had a service approved yet, you'll be prompted to post a service first; Connections unlocks automatically once it's approved.
You'll find Connections in your performer dashboard. From there you can search and browse requests, see recommended and nearby matches, post your own request, and manage the interest you send and receive.
