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).
