When our buyers confirm attendance they complete a 'Purchasing Requirement Form'. This form contains both their general areas of interest, and specific details about procurement needs in the upcoming six to eighteen months.

From these forms, we compile a "Buyers' Catalogue" containing all their requirements, listed by buyer. Then, select up to fourteen in priority order with whom you would like to meet.

When we receive your meeting requests they are entered into a computer system. You are issued appointments based on your compatibility with the buyers' requirements and the order in which you requested them.

After this point we manually edit the lists, to ensure everyone receives the maximum number of relevant appointments.

We recommend that you read the catalogue thoroughly and pick buyers who require your products/services, as our matching process will allocate your meetings based on these requirements.

In the event that we are unable to match you for less than 4 appointments, we will offer you the opportunity to withdraw with a full refund.

We endeavour to schedule as many meetings as possible, but on average we expect to organise four meetings for each supplier. Our matching process often exceeds this, sometimes allocating up to eight.

Each Buyer’s appointments for the day are shown by their station, and Suppliers can book in where the schedule allows.

Your meetings will last 10 minutes each. You will be surprised at how easily this can be enough time to get that vital first introduction, stimulate interest in your product or service, and agree upon a course of action.

To give you the opportunity to edit your appointment request list in case of last-minute buyer sign-ups, we issue appointment schedules a week in advance of the event.

Yes, please ensure that you are both booked onto the event.

This year we will have 25+ buyers will be in attendance.

Yes, as long as you can easily move them from booth to booth and carry them around with you during the day.

Tea, coffee and water are free-flowing throughout the day. Please let us know at the time of booking if you have any allergies. Should you wish to bring your own food, or use a nearby vendor, that is completely fine.

We ask that all attendees arrive at least 20 minutes before their first appointment so they can register, settle in, and familiarise themselves with the layout. Additional appointments may be available on the day, so arriving early also allows you to book for last-minute meetings.

The nearest parking is at the Westfield shopping centre in Stratford which has 5000 spaces. We advise delegates to utilise public transport where possible.
