The Hosted-Buyer Advantage

Guaranteed Meetings. Limited Competition.

Spend your time with qualified distributors, not waiting for them. Hosted-Buyer Events are built so every minute you invest goes toward focused conversations with buyers.

 

Your Meetings Are Guaranteed

Meet privately with distributors in focused, pre-scheduled conversations, then keep building those connections over shared meals and networking time.

 

Your Competition Is Limited

Supplier participation is capped by product category, giving you more focused access to distributors throughout the event.

 

Your Buyers Come Ready

Distributors attend to discover new suppliers and products, so you're meeting people who are there to do business, not just browse.

How the Experience Works

Build Relationships in Days, Not Months.

Private meetings and shared experiences give you multiple chances to connect with distributors, all in a single event.

Know

Prepare Before You Arrive

Review distributor profiles in advance to understand their businesses and prepare for the conversations most relevant to yours.

Meet

Get Guaranteed Face Time

Meet privately with participating distributors in focused 20-minute conversations.

Connect

Go Beyond the Meeting

Continue conversations over shared meals, receptions and local experiences throughout the event.

Build

Develop the Partnership

Leave with a better understanding of distributors' businesses — and relationships you can continue developing long after the event.

Beyond the Scheduled Meetings

The Meeting Is Just the Beginning.

"Best money spent. 20 minutes of undivided attention during the day, evening spent networking doing what we should know in the cities we visit. We do [Hosted-Buyer Events] so distributors feel more comfortable to open up and connect. That's what makes lasting relationships."
