Business is based mainly on pre-booked appointments. Prior to the Workshop, buyers and suppliers indicate which companies they wish to meet and negotiate with.
Both buyers and suppliers can request appointments in advance. An individual appointment schedule is set up for each participant, and we also encourage you to meet on a supplier’s request.
Negotiations are conducted at the suppliers’ stands. Each appointment lasts for 15 minutes. We strongly request all buyers to participate in the appointment system and pre-book a minimum of 17 appointments. After the schedules have been sent out, you will have time to make new appointments and cancel irrelevant appointments until a few days before the workshop starts, by sending meeting requests /cancellation requests directly to the supplier you wish to meet.
