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).
