NETWORKING
Smart Connect
Walk in with your most important meetings already booked.
Smart Connect gives you guaranteed access to pre-qualified buyers through a curated programme of one-to-one meetings arranged before the event even begins. The meetings you’ve been trying to book all year are already in your diary. Every meeting is matched based on business objectives, product fit, market focus, and commercial priorities, ensuring every conversation is relevant, valuable, and worth your time. No chasing introductions. No endless outreach. Our team carefully vets participating operators and matches them with a limited number of suppliers, creating high-quality meetings with the decision-makers who matter most to your business. The result? Your meetings are confirmed before you even step onto the show floor.
What makes Smart Connect different
Pre-qualified meetings

Every meeting is vetted, relevant, and confirmed before you arrive.

Senior operators only

Meet C-level executives, directors, department heads, and budget holders with buying power.

Your diary, already filled

Arrive with a personalised schedule of confirmed meetings and a clear plan for every day.

Limited supplier participation

Supplier places are capped to maintain meeting quality and maximise operator access.

For Suppliers
Getting in front of the right operators is hard. Decision-makers receive hundreds of meeting requests before major events, and most go unanswered. Smart Connect cuts through the noise by matching you with operators that fit your product, target markets, and commercial objectives. Every meeting is pre-qualified, confirmed in advance, and scheduled before you arrive.

For Operators
Managing inbound meeting requests before a major event can be overwhelming. Smart Connect removes the noise by curating a focused schedule of supplier meetings based on your business priorities, market focus, and areas of responsibility. Every meeting is pre-qualified and matched to your interests, ensuring every conversation is relevant and worth your time. No generic sales pitches. No endless inbox filtering. Just direct access to suppliers that can help solve your business challenges and support your growth objectives.
