Buyer Supplier Meetings

What is a Buyer-Supplier Meeting?

Pre-scheduled, private appointment with retailers & distributors

• You submit appointment requests
• MAATS matches you with buyers
• More than 60 North American & International buyers participating
• Nearly 1,200 buyer-supplier appointments took place in 2007!

Buyer-Supplier Meetings Offer:

• A unique selling opportunity
• A neutral meeting site:
  - away from the buyers place of business
  - away from the distractions on the show floor
  - away from your competitors

How the Meetings Work:

• Meetings take place in buyer suites or the International Meetings Center (for int 'l meetings)
• Participation fee goes toward suite cost
• In return, buyers commit to attend all events, meetings

Buyer-Supplier Meetings are only available to MAATS exhibitors.  If your company is an exhibitor and would like to take part in the meetings, log-on to the Exhibitor Management Center to access the meeting request process.
