How it Works

Our forums are held in high quality and luxurious hotels throughout the UK and European destinations.

Each hotel is carefully selected to provide our delegates with the most comfortable stay, along with first class business facilities.

During the forum, senior purchasing executives will be based at their own meeting point within the main business area at the forum and from these areas they will hold face to face meetings with industry leading suppliers and business opportunities will be discussed.

Throughout the day, planned break-out sessions allow delegates to network and socialise further.

Industry seminars and supplier showcase sessions are also planned into the busy schedule.

Forum lunches and dinners are arranged and these offer additional opportunities for further business discussions between delegates.

The whole forum is planned and based around an intense schedule of meetings and networking sessions.

Testimonials

"I had some excellent business meetings and made some very good contacts at the event. I would recommend it to any future delegates"
Fitness First
"A very useful forum for meeting new suppliers.The event itself was held in pleasant and relaxing surroundings, which gave us ample opportunities for further networking within a very convivial atmosphere... I had many meetings with top suppliers who under normal circumstances would be difficult to meet with. The networking opportunities gave me quality time to build long term relationships"
Hilton International
"The important thing is that we were able to meet in a relaxed atmosphere away from the office... The organinisation behind the scenes was evident in the smooth running of the meetings and social events"

The event was an excellent opportunity for me me to meet with top buyers who were conveniently placed in one location at one time. To be able to spend quality time with buyers of this quality is a definite benefit"

The forums give me the chance to discuss the major projects and requirements that the buyers have and it saves me at least 20,000 miles of travel over months - all in just 3 days. I cannot recommend the forums highly enough as a direct route to meetings and networking with real decision makers. As you know I invest the time in doing several events per year because I meet new buyers and it gives me opportunity to see buyers I already know to develop my existing relationships – overall it is invaluable to my business to work this way.Classic Furniture Group
I am pleased to advise that my initial scepticism has been thoroughly dispelled. I am delighted to advise not only have I secured some exceptionally useful contacts, I have had an abundance of follow up opportunities including an appointment today at 2 New York hotels attended by the USA, East Coast Sales Manager and the Executive Vice President, Corporate Headquarters.
