Face 2 Face Meetings
THURSDAY, MARCH 27:
8:00a-12:30p
SUPPLIERS DISPLAY “FACE 2 FACE”
Attendees will participate in a pre-planned meeting schedule to allow for 15-minute scheduled conferences.
ABMA supplier meetings are from 8a-12:30p. Be sure to register early to schedule your meetings. Meeting Request Form will be released mid-February.
Supplier stays stationary at their table with chairs for visitors. Meetings cycle every 15 minutes. Scheduled format allows “power meetings” for higher-level discussions. People rotate as per their schedule.
Scheduled meetings are determined weeks in advance by using scheduling request form which can be accessed here: https://abma.org/convention/face-2-face/
Note that meeting selection process is never perfect. It is hard to accommodate all requests. This is why there are ample networking opportunities throughout the Convention, which allow people to meet regardless of their schedule.
Suppliers: Bring only what can fit on the table and this rule applies to everyone to keep things fair.
