One-to-One Appointments

How does it work?

Event experience within the industry has allowed the team to select the most influential buyers from around the globe within the consumer goods and pharmaceutical industries.

Delegate Qualification

Delegates are contacted personally and vetted to ensure that they are central to strategic procurement decisions. In addition, an assessment of their business objectives and needs is compiled.

Supplier Invitation

According to the strategic needs of the delegates, Arena International then invites senior executives from leading supplier companies across the world who are able to offer suitable solutions to the challenges faced by the delegates.

Pre Event Set-Up

Requesting Business Meetings
Prior to the event, the specifying delegates are asked to select, in order of preference, those supplier companies that they wish to meet. The suppliers are also asked to do the same from the list of specifying delegates, and a meetings programme is then issued based upon these requests.

Business Appointments

There are 10 or 16 structured half-hour meetings over the four days of the event, depending on the package that is chosen. Prices can be obtained by contacting the Summit Director

Each organisation is provided with a full list of the participants attending the event, together with company profiles outlining their main areas of interest and other key information. From this list they make their own numerical prioritised choice of the companies they wish to meet.

Itinerary Of Meetings

Approximately one or two weeks before the event every supplier and buyer is sent their personalised Preliminary Schedule showing their itinerary of meetings at the forum. At this stage both supplier and buyer delegates review their meeting schedule and they have the opportunity to get back to us with any comments or to alter any meetings they consider ‘wholly inappropriate’. The Final Meeting Schedule is available for collection on-site at the hotel venue on the Friday morning prior to the Summit commencing.
