Important NTW concepts

Workshop

• Duration: 1 ½ day.
• The suppliers sit at their stands and welcome buyers for meetings.
• The meetings are primarily pre-booked.
• Meetings can be booked during the workshop.
• Each appointment lasts for 15 minutes and participants can make a total of aprox 30 appointments.
• Suppliers must be available at the stand during the whole workshop.

Pre-booked appointments

• Based on the information supplied by the buyers, each supplier can send in requests for which buyers they want to meet with during NTW.
• Based on information given by the suppliers, each buyer can submit requests for which companies they want to meet with.
• Based on this we will consider all submitted requests, and appointments will be set up between buyers and suppliers.
• All individual appointment forms will be sent out to each participant. This happens approx. 3 to 4 weeks before NTW. We highly recommend being well prepared for the pre-booked appointments.
• After receiving all pre-booked appointments, it is up to each individual participant to update their appointment form, either by removing or make new appointments online, if so wanted. Information on the deadline for making new appointments will be available in due time.
• All participants will receive their final appointments in the attendee folder upon arrival for NTW on Monday, April 1, or Tuesday, April 2. This is the final form that has to be used during the event.
