Frequently Asked Questions

Hosted European media will be recruited from countries across Europe including, but not limited to, Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.

We have chosen these markets based on where we have representation and where our exhibitors will gain the most value.

We provide our attendees with opportunities to hear from compelling speakers including marketers, strategists, and industry leaders in a series of meaningful conversations designed to inspire, inform, and entertain. These sessions will not conflict with pre-scheduled appointments.

The matchmaking system works by asking you to rank your preferences from highest to lowest. A mutual selection will increase the probability of an appointment being generated. There is also the option to block certain companies with whom you would prefer not to meet. Once appointment preferencing opens you will be sent instructions on how to complete this process along with a minimum recommended number of organizations to select.

Once submitted, the system will run the matchmaking process and produce your provisional schedule which you will be able to view online, download as a PDF and/or print. There will be the opportunity to go online again to personally refine your appointments, fill any gaps and message attendees to arrange additional appointments.

Please contact [email protected] or your in-market representative.
