The ultimate guide to running events with facilitated meetings

friends webinar-500x250

Have you seen the one where events which feature facilitated or pre-scheduled meetings become insanely popular? 

This is what are seeing at Grip...

More organizers than ever before are either adding pre-scheduled meetings to their shows or creating standalone 'meeting-led events', like Hosted Buyer.

There are many reasons for the rise of organizer-arranged meetings at events. They provide a guaranteed return on investment for suppliers while giving buyers an efficient way to review products / services quickly.  For organizers, they provide a much needed additional revenue source and event growth. 

However, they are difficult to do well.  You almost need Monica-levels of OCD.

Drop by our virtual Central Perk cafe, where our expert panel will explain:

  • The secrets to running a successful pre-scheduled meeting program
  • Which organizers should be offering faciliated meetings (and which ones shouldn't!)
  • The common pitfalls of pre-scheduled meetings and how to avoid them
