BOARDROOM GROUP
The boardroom presentations take place on Monday and Tuesday mornings, are 20-minutes in length, and provide a high-level overview of the innovations and capabilities the suppliers offer. You will be placed in a small boardroom group based on the information you provided during registration. This group will comprise peers with similar interests or needs in products and categories. A few weeks before the Event, you will have the opportunity to review and approve your preliminary boardroom schedule.
ONE-ON-ONE MEETINGS
Monday and Tuesday afternoons are set aside for one-on-one appointments. These are 15 minutes long, with a 5-minute transition, and have been designed to provide you with a private environment to determine needs, partnership opportunities, and next steps and continue building your business relationships.
Before the Event, we will schedule the one-on-one appointments you requested and/or approved. Throughout the Event, you will have the opportunity to add additional appointments to your schedule.
If you are contacted directly for a one-on-one meeting, and you would like to meet, please have them work through us to ensure the meeting is properly scheduled.

Within the Event agenda, you will find many ways to develop and strengthen your industry relationships in a structured and casual environment. Don’t forget to bring plenty of business cards (although our app allows you to share your contact details, too).
