Your ticket to the event is free of charge if you commit to 5 pre-scheduled meetings with suppliers booked through our meeting matching system.
Closer to the event, you will receive a link to select the preferred suppliers you would like to have a meeting with. Kindly note that while you are required to have 5 meetings, you need to choose 8 suppliers. This does not mean that you will have 8 meetings, but we guarantee a minimum of 5, and try to allocate more if the schedule allows.
If you do not wish to commit to 5 pre-scheduled supplier meetings, you can use the various networking breaks to have ad-hoc meetings. However you will not be guaranteed a secured meeting with the suppliers. A registration fee of 490€ (WAN-IFRA Members) and 690€ (non-members) apply.
Each pre-scheduled meeting is 25 minutes.
Both attendees and suppliers choose who they prefer to meet, the system will then match them and set up meetings based on mutual interest as first preference. If only one party requested to meet, the system will allocate this meeting as second preference.
No, to be entitled for free registration, the 5 meetings need to be pre-scheduled through our system beforehand. Ad-hoc meetings on site are optional and will not contribute to free registration.
No, as long as you select a minimum of 8 suppliers, the registration remains free. Suppliers might reach out to set up meetings with you after the meeting diaries are published, and you can also speak to the other suppliers on the day during the networking breaks.
This is possible. The system matches parties with mutual interest first, then depending on availability. We will have various networking times available during the event where you can speak to the desired supplier who is not in your official meeting diary.
Yes, please cancel the concerning meeting on the meeting diary system. WAN-IFRA reserves the right to charge you for full registration if you have less than 5 meetings due to a cancellation from your side.
