The Premier Business-to-Business Event
for the Hospitality Interior Design Industry

Delegates shaking Hands

Meetings

The meetings programme provides you with a set of pre-scheduled private buyer-supplier meetings organised by our innovative computer appointments system. In advance of the event we create a personalised itinerary for you based on your own unique requirements.

Buyer and Supplier come to the table prepared for a relevant, concise and focused time and as there is no duty to purchase a more effective, appropriate communication to the best advantage of both parties is achieved.

The intensity and quality of the gathering makes it realistic and worthwhile to switch off other work for the two days.

MEETINGS FORMAT

Four sessions of meetings are conducted over the two business days of the
event. Each meeting lasts 20 minutes with a five-minute break in-between.

As a buyer delegate you are allocated your own table/meeting point. As a supplier delegate you visit the appropriate table/delegate according to your meetings schedule.

PERSONALISED ITINERARY

Two to three weeks prior to the event, you will have access to the delegate area of the HI DESIGN EMEA website, which will contain profiles and images of all attending suppliers and buyer delegates.

You are asked to select and prioritise the companies you wish to meet. During this process we can assist you in selecting those companies most relevant for your business. Your own personalised meeting schedule, consisting of a mixture of your own selections and meetings requested by other delegates, is then created and returned to you one week before the event for your approval.

Any further adjustments you feel necessary can be made by us before the final schedules are issued. Otherwise you may contact those delegates on your schedule to help make any appropriate preparations in advance of your meeting.

These pre-arranged meetings are strictly Buyer to Supplier. However there is ample opportunity to meet Buyer to Buyer or Supplier to Supplier throughout the rest of your time at HI DESIGN EMEA.
