The event is a dynamic networking event that is designed to shelter meaningful conversations. But don’t just take our word from here. Here’s what last year’s attendees (delegates and suppliers) had to say…

“Truly enjoyed my time during the summit, the advice and assistance by various suppliers was brilliant. Well done to all involved and looking forward to the next one.” – ReardonSmith Architects.

“Nothing beats face to face meetings – delighted to have been able to attend and to meet so many buyers with live projects. The flexible format was terrific as it allowed buyers to attend if unforeseen circumstances prevented them attending.” – The Lindhurst Group.

FAQS

What is included in the cost to attend?

What will my stand look like?

What do I need to bring with me?

The focus of the event and face-to-face format is the pre-arranged meeting schedule. With this in mind, any additional marketing material to dress your stand (as explained in the question above) and that you wish to give to delegates is at your discretion. You will be provided with electrics to charge any laptops/tablets and will be supplied with an event information pack at registration, detailing delegate contact details and information (with space for making notes).

How do I know who is attending the event?

How does the matching process work?

How do you create my itinerary?

Working on selections that you have made online, and those from attending delegates, we put together individual itineraries following the priorities below:

Perfect matches; where a delegate and supplier have both requested to meet one another
Delegate requests; where a delegate has an interest in a supplier’s product/service
Supplier requests; where suppliers have registered an interest in meeting a delegate

How much work is there before the event?

Once you have your online login, you will be prompted to upload your single A4 page company profile, logo and synopsis, as well as selecting products and services that you provide. This will enable delegates to see some information on your organisation, and select to meet with you closer to the event. This process is all explained to you in more detail closer to the event. You will also need to prepare any event specific marketing that you wish to bring, but other than this, pre-event preparation is minimal.
