B2B Meetings - will occur for a full day on Wednesday 22nd March. We anticipate that there will be up to 40 meeting opportunities throughout the day. Meetings will be 10 minutes with a 1-minute changeover. Furthermore, please note

The number of appointments you receive cannot be guaranteed, this is just the maximum number of meetings one can obtain.
Depending on delegate numbers, you may be asked to electronically submit your preferences in advance for who you would like to meet with (i.e. buyers will preference the sellers they would like to meet with, and sellers will preference the buyers they would like to meet with).

If you are asked to complete preferencing, a system generated meeting schedule will then be created and sent to you ahead of the event.
Your meeting schedule will be formulated based on the preferences you submitted in advance and in turn the preferences of the buyers who selected to meet with you. Please note the number of preferences you submit in advance may not necessarily correlate to the total number of appointments you receive.
Preferencing will commence once full delegate registrations close. We anticipate this will be in September and you will receive further information at this time.
