Additional Information

  • Travel - as a general guide please see indicative travel timelines below:
    • Buyers: with the exception of any pre famil program participation, you should expect to arrive in the Gold Coast on the morning of Monday 28 October and depart throughout Thursday 31 October. ATEC and TEQ will liaise directly with all buyer delegates to coordinate flights and pre famil arrangements.*
    • Sellers should expect to arrive by lunchtime of Monday 28 October and depart throughout Thursday 31 October.*
  • B2B meetings* - these will be 10 minutes in length.
    • Buyers may receive up to 48 meeting opportunities during the event.
    • Sellers may receive up to 24 meeting opportunities during the event.
  • B2B information - 
    • Please note the number of B2B appointments you receive cannot be guaranteed, this is just the number of meetings one can obtain. 
    • You will be able to submit your preferences in advance using a tiered system for who you would like to meet with during these sessions (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). 
    • A system generated meeting schedule will be created and sent to you ahead of the event. 
    • Your session and meeting schedule will be formulated based on the preferences you submitted in advance and in turn the preferences of those 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 after 31 July 2024. We anticipate this will be in August and you will receive further information at this time. 
    • If you have any questions regarding this process, please contact events@atec.net.au
