How the event works
Important: Buyers signing up do so in the understanding that the format of this event is such that their meeting preferences have equal weight to those of the suppliers. This format does not offer full meeting diary control – instead, we hope to offer you a schedule based on your interests and of those people looking to meet with you.
- Around one month before the event, you will be invited to submit your appointment preferences – you will select and rank the top companies with whom you would like to be assigned a meeting.
- Delegates submit their availability and can block time slots when they will be unavailable.
- Once all delegates have submitted their preferences, the appointment system will generate your appointment schedule.
- Provisional appointment lists will be sent to you approx. 1 week before the event, in order to prepare for your meetings. The final appointment list will be shared a few days before the event.
- Delegate log in on the day of the event at the relevant time – taking into account the time zone differences
- The pre-set schedule will be ready and delegates just click on the relevant session to join the video call. Meetings take place in the browser with no additional software required.
- Additional connections and meetings can be made using the Meeting Hub.
