Face to face appointments

Conduct months' worth of meetings over two intensive days in 5-star surroundings organized to support business.  You select the buyers you wish to meet. You receive a personalized schedule of one-on-one meetings incorporating your requests and those selected by the buyers.  The ratio of buyers to suppliers is strictly controlled and the number of suppliers attending from each category is also limited.

Supplier showcase

On the second day, there will be a full hour for the suppliers to transform their meeting area into a tabletop display. During this hour, buyers may introduce themselves and view products of the suppliers they did not get a chance to have a one-on-one meeting with. This allows you additional opportunities to meet those buyers you were unable to meet during the one-on-one meetings.
Networking opportunities

The foundation of SPATEC is based upon a meetings forum that creates the ideal networking environment. Everyone stays at the same resort and attends with their mind focused on business and the desire to derive maximum benefit from the event.

Additional activities built into the meetings' program, such as a the Supplier Showcase, networking event, lunches, receptions and evening activities all ensure that you will meet with your key targets and have the opportunity to develop further business relationships.
