Hosted Buyer Programme

Year after year, Hosted Buyers tell us that attending MEETINGS is a very efficient use of their time and a superbly effective way to book business, source new ideas and meet to face with a wide range of industry professionals. Not to mention plenty of fun, with excellent networking opportunities through our popular social programme!

Apply now and if selected as a Hosted Buyer, you will receive the following benefits:
The Appointment Programme
A highlight of MEETINGS is the two day appointment programme which facilitates face-to-face 15 minute meetings between Hosted Buyers and Exhibitors. You arrange appointments from the comfort of your own office using our sophisticated online technology – a fast and efficient method of selecting meetings with those suppliers that most interest you.
 

One Day Appointment Programme:
Hosted Buyers from New Zealand may request a one day appointment programme during the online application process.
Return Air Travel
Hosted Buyers enjoy complimentary international or domestic air travel, thanks to our Principal Sponsor Air New Zealand. (Conditions may apply to point of origin. Airfare taxes and levies are the responsibility of the buyer.)
Accommodation
As a Hosted Buyer, you will enjoy complimentary accommodation, thanks to the hospitality of MEETINGS 2010 Host Hotels.
Ground Transport
As well as return airport transfers, you will enjoy transfers from your hotel to the exhibition each day and to and from the fabulous MEETINGS social events, thanks to our ground transport sponsor, Johnston's Coachlines.

It’s not all work… we help you relax at the end of a busy day of appointments! Our fabulous social events are a popular part of the MEETINGS Programme. Network with new friends and celebrate MEETINGS 2010 at our Welcome Function on Tuesday 22 June and the MEETINGS Dinner on Thursday 24 June.
