Take advantage of qualified meetings with buyers

The Concierge Hosted Buyer Program is a free curated business-to-business matchmaking program designed to connect qualified exhibitors and buyers from retail and foodservice.  This is an excellent opportunity to have valuable and efficient pre-scheduled meetings to enhance the show experience. Each exhibitor will receive an interview with the concierge before the program begins and will be able to liaise directly with their Concierge throughout the program.
