| Q. How do you create the appointment selection of companies we wish to meet at the summit? |
A. Each delegate is provided with a full list of the companies attending the event, together with company profiles outlining their main areas of interest and other key information. From this list you make a prioritised choice of the companies that you wish to meet. Our sophisticated meeting database then collates this information and creates the best possible selection of meetings for each supplier and buyer company. |
| |
| Q. When will I see my itinerary of meetings? |
A. Approximately one or two weeks before the event, every attendee is sent their own personalised preliminary schedule. Delegates review their meeting schedule and have the opportunity to alter any meetings they consider inappropriate. Once these amendments have been made, a final meeting schedule is available for collection on-site at the hotel venue on the Friday morning prior to the forum commencing. |
| |
| Q. What networking opportunities are available at the summit? |
A. The summit is four days of combined meetings and social networking opportunities. From the moment you are greeted at the airport you will have numerous opportunities to network with your peers at any one of the drinks receptions, coffee lounges or dinners which take place during the course of the summit. |

| Q. Can I build an exhibition stand or have a demonstration area? |
A. Yes. Please contact our events team on +44 (0) 20 7915 4206. |

| Q. How do you secure the delegates’ attendance? |
A. All delegates are pre-qualified and screened to ensure that they are the decision-maker and budgetary holder. |

| Q. Can I bring my spouse/partner? |
A. Yes, spouses and partners may accompany delegates to the event and the dinners. (However, they are not permitted to attend the summit meetings or seminars.)

| |
| Q. Can I arrive early or stay on at the hotel after the summit? |
| A. Yes, please do not hesitate to contact the event team if you have any special requirements, and we will endeavour to assist you. |
| |
| Q. Does the organiser arrange my travel insurance or Visa requirements? |
A. Visa applications are solely the responsibility of the individual delegate. Nevertheless, SPG Media will provide a formal letter of invitation and also ask the hotel location to send a confirmation of your accommodation to assist with your application process. Please do contact the event team when you are applying for your visa.
All delegates are responsible for their own insurance (including but not limited to travel insurance, personal insurance and personal effects) and vaccinations (where applicable). |
| |
| Q. Will I have any free time at the summit? |
A. There are free periods after the seminar/roundtable sessions have finished on the Friday and Saturday afternoon, and depending on your personalised meeting schedule you may have more free periods. In the evenings, to ensure maximised networking opportunities and for you to sample the delights of the local food and culture, we organise a number of dinners and receptions. On Wednesday night we will host the welcoming drinks reception and dinner. On Friday night we will have dinner in a local restaurant to sample the taste and cuisine of our host country and on Sunday evening we will host a farewell dinner.
