Supplier Experience
The format is unique, executed with excellence and provides strategic-level business dialogue. We designed the event to maximize productivity for retail and supplier executives seeking to innovate and grow their businesses. This is not a traditional tradeshow where you must filter through the “noise” to reach the right people. The decision-makers are delivered to you via a comprehensive matching process, providing an effective and highly productive opportunity to educate them on your capabilities, expertise, and experience.
The participation fee includes boardroom presentations, one-on-one appointments, content sessions, meals, all social and networking events, and inclusion in the event directory. Optional sponsorship opportunities are also available to elevate your company’s visibility at the event.
Boardroom Presentations
Retailers are pre-assigned to a small group of peers (7-9 executives) who have expressed interests in similar products / solutions. Suppliers present their latest innovations to this group in concise, 20-minute presentations. A group leader is assigned to each group to ensure the presentations stay on schedule.
One-on-One Sessions
These appointments provide a private environment to discuss your product offerings to retailers of your choice. These appointments are 15 minutes in length and can serve as a follow up to a retailer you saw in a boardroom or someone completely new.
Keynote and Content Sessions
The keynotes and content sessions feature leading speakers offering actionable and inspiring insight on trends, opportunities, skills, best practices, and personal growth.
Networking
The agenda includes interactive social events to build relationships in a fun and casual environment. We develop the events within the agenda to optimize social interaction, which includes:
- A welcome reception
- Optional Sunday activities
- Multiple networking breakfasts and luncheons
- Three nights of catered dinners and evening entertainment
- Closing cocktail reception
