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.

  • Upon registration, 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. All this information is collated into a hard copy directory given to all delegates.
  • 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 created for each company based upon both buyer and supplier requests.

The Format

  • Each buyer is allocated a meeting table in a conference room where all meetings take place over two 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 up to 22 meetings organised within the official programme over the two days.

The Networking

As well as the face-to-face meetings, attendees network during the breakfasts, lunches and dinners with further networking opportunities during the team building event and social programme.

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 Supplier Showcase

On the second day a Supplier Showcase takes place in a separate room. Each supplier has a table top exhibit. Buyers and suppliers are free to meet delegates with whom they were unable to pre-book a meeting.

  • "What a fantastic two days. I was thrilled at the chance to present the unique benefits of Vibro Tone technology. It is nearly impossible to reach the ears of key decision makers and this excellent networking event enabled me to deliver all points and clarify why Vibro Tone is so profitable. I feel SPATEC has really helped to build our brand profile. The event is an absolute must have investment for all new brands and I have recommended it to a number of contacts and buyers."
    Vickie Martin, Vibro Tone
  • "I attend around eight trade shows each year and this was by far the most impressive. It’s very economical and provides guaranteed one-on-one meetings with buyers from across the industry. The buyers themselves were friendly and professional and gave useful advice to help my business. I learned a great deal about the industry in a very short time, and will be one of the early bookers for next year’s SPATEC in Portugal."
