HOTEC Middle East - How It Works

How It Works

Personalised Itinerary

Prior to the event, the HOTEC ME 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 is spent as effectively as possible. The final meeting schedule is ready for collection upon arrival on the first day of the forum.

Meetings Format

A total of twenty two, 20-minute meetings are scheduled on the two main days of the event with a five minute break separating each meeting. Supplier delegates are guaranteed at least 12 meetings for companies attending with 1 delegate and 18 meetings for companies attending with 2 delegates. The supplier delegate is allocated one meeting point where all appointments with buyer delegates are held over the two days.

The Seminar Programme

The Seminar Programme offers delegates the chance to listen to industry experts, learn valuable industry updates and participate in open-forum discussion. With a mixture of presentations and panel discussions delivered by leaders in the hospitality industry, the meticulously prepared and researched programme allows delegates to gain valuable insights into current issues affecting the hotel industry in the Middle Eastern region. In particular, the panel discussion format encourages delegates to challenge, question and enquire into the expert opinions presented.

The Networking

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.

The Supplier Showcase

A session lasting one hour and a half during which no meetings are scheduled. Suppliers showcase their product samples and catalogues for the buyers to view as they move freely around the meeting room . This is also an ideal time to meet with those delegates with whom no appointments have been pre-arranged
