SIBEC North America - How It Works

How It Works

The Meeting Schedule

SIBEC takes place in an exclusive venue away from the pressures of the office and the stress of trade shows.

• Once you register, you will receive a password to access the event website where you will post your company profile and contact details. Buyers' profiles will include details of projected spending budgets and other valuable market information. A hard copy of the directory is given to all delegates upon arrival at SIBEC.
• Using the information provided in the event directory, each delegate is asked to select the companies they wish to meet.
• A personal meeting schedule is then drawn up for each company based on both buyer & supplier requests.

The Format

• Each buyer is allocated a meeting table in a conference room where all meetings take place over 2 days. The supplier companies go from meeting point to meeting point according to their schedule.
• Each meeting lasts 20 minutes.
• There are a total of 22 meetings over the two days.

The Networking

As well as the one-on-one meetings, attendees network during the breakfasts, lunches and dinners with further networking opportunities during the teambuilding event and social program.

The ratio of buyers to suppliers is strictly controlled and the number of suppliers attending from each category is also limited. This ensures that SIBEC provides the maximum business opportunities whilst retaining a unique atmosphere in which to develop strong business relationships.

Business Speed-Dating

For a full hour, suppliers visit with buyers of their choice for short, targeted meetings. This speed-dating session allows suppliers to supplement their one-on-one meetings by simply going to any buyer's table of interest to them. This can develop into later conversations and the building or cementing of business relationships. This is a way to maximize the contacts at SIBEC and develop longer-term relationships.

Team Building Event

As well as the informal networking opportunities there is also a very unique teambuilding event. Delegates are split into teams of carefully selected buyers and vendors. Teams compete in various fun and energizing activities. The objective is for delegates to get to know one another in a very informal, relaxed, unique environment

Quotes:

• "I have attended at least 25 of the major convention and trade shows in our industry. Bar none, this process delivered far more information than ever before."

• "SIBEC gives an opportunity to meet, in 2 days, buyers that it may take months & thousands of dollars to set up!"
