HOW IT WORKS
Venue Series.
Our Venue Series events are conducted in a style similar to speed dating. Vendors are typically stationary and the attendees (event planners) rotate every 8-minutes.
​
The following is a typical program:​
1:00pm Vendors arrive to set up
2:00pm Attendees arrive / Welcome glass of Prosecco & networking
2:10pm Welcome announcement & instructions
2:15pm Commence 8-minute meetings
3:45pm Light reception & prize draws
4:30pm Concludes
What to expect:
Vendors are provided with chairs and table - typically a 4' or 6' table with linen and often with access to power (though this is not guaranteed).
​​​
Vendors can expect approximately 10 to 12 meetings (8-minutes each). Meetings are assigned. While we typically have more attendees than vendors, you are not expected to meet all the attendees during the 8-minute meetings.
​
However, there is ample networking during the light reception and prize draws to meet those you did not have an 8-minute meeting with.
​
​
Who attends?
​
Vendors are provided with a Preliminary Attendee List one week prior to the event. Keep in mind, we receive last minute registrations and cancellations, so the list will change.
​
After the event, Vendors will receive a Post-Event Report that includes all the attendees and their contact details. We also include the prize draw results and indicate who showed and no-showed.
​
​
What to bring:
​
All vendors are required to bring a prize (min. $100 value) for the prize draws. Hotels/resorts offering a 2-night stay or higher, are considered Grand Prizes and earn more prominent marketing and social media.
​
Vendors usually have the option of bringing retractable banners and printed collateral. We highly recommend bringing a fully charged laptop or tablet to showcase floor plans, menus, capacity charts, photos/video, etc.
​
We can typically fit up to two representatives. There is no additional charge for a second rep.
​
Vendors are NOT permitted to bring food (unless approved by the host venue).
