how does match! work?
A few weeks before the show, MATCH! Exhibitors and Buyers receive a list of “suggested” matches based upon mutual product interest. Exhibitors and Buyers can then accept the recommendations and the appointment is then confirmed in each party’s calendar.
- Your online access to the system will allow you to manage your appointments and update your profile
- Meetings can start being requested approximately 3 weeks from the event.
