Tips for Attending

 

Prior to Arrival


Adhere to the Event Deadlines
This will ensure you are well prepared for the event and that any special requirements you have are met. If you are unsure about anything, please ask us.

Key Dates: 

  • Profiles are Open Week of March 25th
  • Open Preference Phase April 7th
  • Close Preference Phase April 18th
  • Provisional Schedules Available April 21th
  • Finalized Schedules Available April 24th

Maximize Your Opportunities
Prepare for each meeting with a list of questions you’d like to ask. Be a good questioner and listener rather than a pure salesperson. The discussion may range from broad strategic to detailed specific so be prepared to talk strategically.

What to Bring
Bring or send enough materials for your meetings. A display book is better than a laptop as it does not need charging. However, if you have something that is visual and involves movement that can only be demonstrated properly via video, then a laptop is the best option. Make sure you bring an adequate supply of business cards (a common oversight!)

During the Conference


One-to-One Meetings & Program Participation
Every part of the program has been designed to give you maximum networking opportunities. Please ensure that you are always punctual and participate in the full program. The one-to-one meetings will be managed by a timekeeper who will announce the beginning and end of each meeting so please listen for these announcements.

Network with Attendees
During the breakfasts, breaks, lunch, offsite outing, and networking reception, make sure to meet with new people.

Have Fun
We are sure that you will make many new and long-lasting business relationships and friendships with many of the attendees at the event.
