Take the pressure and awkwardness out of networking, allow us to do the ground work for you!
(Only applicable for those with meetings included in their sponsorship)

Well in advance of the event, you will receive an online catalogue that will provide you with comprehensive profiles on attending delegates. Helpful search tools will allow you to make informed decisions on who you would like to meet with. You can shortlist attendees by using keyword searches, selecting relevant industries, or even picking specific areas of interest.

We then build a schedule of meetings for you, carefully constructed to meet your objectives. This schedule consists of mutually requested meetings, your choices, and those delegates who have picked you among their top preferences. 2 weeks prior to the event, you will receive this schedule along with contact details of the delegates you have been matched with. You are encouraged to establish prior contact with these individuals to get introductions out of the way and make the best use of your meeting times on-site.

When you arrive on-site, you will receive your personalized meetings schedule, and the EP Team will be at hand to ensure that your meetings run seamlessly and the right people are at your booth per the arranged times.

On both days of the conference, specific times in the morning and afternoon are set aside to facilitate these pre-scheduled 1-2-1 meetings and they do not coincide with any of the conference sessions. Each meeting is 20 minutes long and it takes place at your booth itself. Meeting times are carefully structured to ensure maximum networking, but the meetings themselves remain fairly informal affairs designed to encourage knowledge exchange and communication.

Please Note: If you have more than 7 meetings as part of your package, you will host 2 meetings in each time slot. These meetings will take place simultaneously at your booth space and you will be required to spilt representatives to host the delegates. Kindly ensure you are staffed appropriately. If need be, you can purchase additional rep. passes through the online furniture store. Please contact your Event Manager directly if you have any questions.
