The Hosted Buyer Program is a 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.
- Matches are pre-qualified to meet the goals of both buyers and suppliers.
- Meetings are one-on-one so you have the undivided attention of your new contact.
- Each meeting is 15 minutes so you can make the most of your valuable time.
