Hosted Buyer FAQs

Qualified planners will receive 1:1 appointments with the industry’s leading experiential and technology vendors, a hosted experience inclusive of flight and hotel, and the exclusive opportunity to network with other event professionals in one place.

Hosted buyers are considered to be corporate, association and nonprofit event planners and marketers who are actively sourcing event technology, venues and experiential partners to power their events.

Our innovative AI-powered system matches planners and suppliers for individual appointments based on their requests, as well as additional factors. Planners sit at designated tables and suppliers have 1-2 minutes to travel between appointments. A chime signifies the beginning and end of each appointment. Planners sit at designated tables with suppliers who are given 8 minutes to talk business and get to know one another. A chime signifies the beginning and end of each appointment, when suppliers then have 1-2 minutes to rotate to their next appointment. “Think of it like business speed dating for event and meeting planners!”

Planners and suppliers will receive an email stating that the appointment request process is open. Mutual requests get priority, then planner requests are granted, followed by supplier requests. It is not a first-come, first-served process. As long as you complete your requests by the designated end date, your appointment selections will be granted the appropriate priority.

You will receive an email prior to the show with instructions for logging into the appointment portal.
