SPATEC North America - How It Works

How It Works

The Meeting Schedule

SPATEC 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 SPATEC.
• 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 & vendor requests.

The Format

• Each buyer is allocated a meeting table in a conference room where all meetings take place over 2 days. Vendors 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 SPATEC provides the maximum business opportunities whilst retaining a unique atmosphere in which to develop strong business relationships.

The Vendor Showcase

On the second day a Showcase takes place in a separate room. Each vendor has a table top exhibit. Buyers and suppliers are free to meet delegates that they did not have pre-scheduled on their meeting schedules.

The 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:

• "As a first time attendee, I was fantastically impressed with the quality of the Buyers I met during my one on one meetings and the constant networking and relationships that were made through the remaining breakfasts, lunches and dinners. I give this event and the management that runs it 5 gold stars."

  Chris Kolodziejski, Mosaic Marketing Partners, LLC

• "Most productive 48 hours spent out of the office, was able to get far more business accomplished meeting one on one than in the entire previous year of phone calls with vendors."
