Day of Event
For the orientation, we will all be together in the main room. Both media and exhibitors. We’ll go over the basics and answer questions.
After that, media and exhibitors will be paired up into break out rooms for 5-minute one-on-one conversations.
You’ll get a 30-second countdown, then everyone will automatically be back in the main room.
We will then move the exhibitors to the next break out room to speak with a new media person.
This process will continue until each of the exhibitors has met every media attendee.
There will be a lunch break, then Round 2 will be the same process as Round 1 with new media attendees.

to have all the samples and information presented in one box.

Ideally it would be product samples of the item/s you are pitching at the event, along with some basic information.

What to send if your product is Perishable, too big, too expensive, has a surcharge, etc.
