The Networking
HI DESIGN EMEA spans over 60 hours so outside of the 11 hours of official meetings sessions there are abundant networking opportunities at any point during the event, including at the exclusive functions Atticus Events hosts each evening.
HI
DESIGN gives us the unique opportunity to meet and mix with suppliers
and fellow buyers in the relaxed but professional atmosphere and explore
areas of future business and collaboration.

A short discussion on the Networking at HI DESIGN
Atticus Events hosts a Welcome dinner on the first night, a cocktail reception on the second, and a farewell dinner on the final evening. These are private functions that all delegates attend and are informal with no seating plans so you can sit next to anyone you choose. They provide convivial settings in which you can mingle and chat freely with your fellow delegates - to share views, discuss issues and above all, really get to know your peers.
In addition to conversations over coffee or at lunch, between meetings sessions or after the business day at the evening functions we also arrange a pre-event excursion.
This takes place on the first day before the event starts in the evening. It has become a very popular extra to the event where you can sample some of the delights of the event’s location and meet other fellow delegates outside of the official start of the event. It is usually a very good ice-breaker. Email for more information about the 2009 Pre-event Tour.
All of these options enable you to relax and network with your peers in a way simply not possible at traditional trade shows.
