SIBEC - How It Works

How It Works

One-on-One Meetings

Two full days of one-on-one meetings between senior executive club and leisure centre operators and leading national and international supplier companies. These meetings are pre-selected by the delegates, are 20 minutes in length and take place at designated meeting points.

Throughout the event, attendees meet each other through the official meeting programme as well as during the breakfasts, lunches and dinners and other networking activities.

Business Speed-Dating

Suppliers visit with buyers of their choice for short, targeted meetings. This speed-dating programme allows suppliers to supplement their one-on-one meetings by simply going to any buyer's table of interest for a maximum of five minutes each. This can develop into later conversations and the building or cementing of business relationships. This is a way to maximise the contacts at SIBEC and develop longer-term relationships.

The Concept

The concept of SIBEC was created by McLean Events in 1996 through a series of highly focused industry forums for senior executives and leading suppliers from specific markets, wishing to talk business in a more focused fashion. Meeting in 5-star facilities away from the distractions of trade shows and conferences, make these forums uniquely different and today are regarded as the premier industry events within their respective markets.

SIBEC Around the World

The SIBEC brand has been established since 1997 when the first SIBEC was launched in the UK. Since then SIBEC has also established itself in North America, Europe and Asia.

Quotes:

• "SIBEC proved to be so successful for our business last year that attending the event this year was essential. Pure World Technologies has increased its income generation from £3 million to a predicted £25 million as a direct result of business created at SIBEC. I am so impressed with the business opportunities that SIBEC offers to delegates and the results speak for themselves. I had signed up for the 2007 event before lunch on the first day! I have also tried unsuccessfully to talk to some of the attending buyers for approx 2 years! You could argue that I have done about 2 years work in 3 days! How many salesman would I need to achieve this and over what period of time?!"

  David Lixton, Managing Director, Pure World Technologies
