How Does It Work?

Delegate Qualification

The most influential Buyer delegates are selected and contacted personally; the Arena International event management team will ensure that they are central to strategic procurement decisions. In addition, an assessment of their business objectives and needs is compiled.

Pre event set up
Business Meetings

There are twenty 30 minute meeting slots available over the two main days of the event. For our suppliers we allocate a set number of meetings - usually as a guaranteed package of 16 meetings over the two summit days.

Prior to the forum, all businesses registered to attend the event are provided with a full buyer/supplier participation list and a company profile outlining key objectives and main area of interest. Thereafter, both delegates and supplier companies are asked to grade in order of preference, those companies that they wish to meet; subsequently a meetings programme is issued based upon matching criteria’s and requests.

Itinerary Of Meetings
One or two weeks before the event every supplier and buyer is sent their personalised Preliminary Schedule showing their itinerary of meetings at the summit. 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 no longer consider as appropriate. The Final Meeting Schedule is available for collection on-site at the hotel venue on the Friday morning prior to the summit commencing.
