There are twenty 30 minute meeting slots available over the two main days of the event, five in the morning and five after lunch. For our suppliers we allocate a set number of meetings - usually as a guaranteed package of 16 meetings over the two summit days (a junior package is sometimes available consisting of 10 meetings guaranteed over either the Friday or the Saturday). Our statistics show that over the past fifteen ViB events that we have organised, suppliers average 17.5 meetings.
Each buyer company and each supplier company is provided with a full list of the buyer/supplier companies attending the event, together with company profiles outlining their main areas of interest and other key information. From this list they make their own numerical prioritised choice of the companies that they wish to meet. Our sophisticated meeting database then collates this information and creates the best possible selection of meetings for each supplier and buyer company. The granted meetings are based on these priority requests - giving the highest prioritised selections and mutually requested meetings.
