Prior to the event, the HOTEC Asia directory, containing a profile of all attending buyer and supplier delegate companies, is made available to all delegates. Each delegate is asked to select and prioritise the companies they wish to meet. A personalised meeting schedule is then created for each delegate just before the event. Final amendments can then be made to ensure your time at HOTEC Asia is spent as effectively as possible. The final meeting schedule is ready for collection upon arrival on the first day of the forum.
A total of twenty, 25-minute meetings are scheduled on the two main days of the event, five in the morning and five in the afternoon. Supplier delegates are guaranteed at least 12 meetings. The buyer delegate is allocated one meeting point where all appointments with supplier delegates are held over the two days.
A series of four seminars/discussions are scheduled over the main two business days. A meticulously prepared programme presented by industry experts and leaders in hospitality, it will cover a range of relevant topics and issues allowing you to gain intelligent insights into important developments across the region.
McLean Events hosts a Welcome dinner on the first night, a cocktail reception on the second, and a farewell dinner on the final evening. These are private functions that all delegates attend providing convivial settings in which you can mingle and chat freely with your fellow delegates. It's an unrivalled opportunity to share views, discuss issues and above all, really get to know your peers. In addition to further chances of conversation over coffee or at lunch, there is also a programme of activities, organised after the business meetings, which give delegates the option to relax and network in an even more informal way.
A one hour supplier showcase will take place on both days of the event in a separate room where each supplier has their own dedicated space. This gives buyers further opportunity to browse products and converse with suppliers. Both buyers and suppliers can also meet delegates they may not have had pre-booked on their meeting schedules.
