SPATEC UK & Europe - How It Works

How It Works

The Meeting Schedule

SPATEC takes place in an exclusive venue away from the pressures of the office and the stress of trade shows.

• Upon registration, you will receive a password to access the event website where you will post your company profile and contact details. Buyers' profiles will include details of projected spending budgets and other valuable market information. All this information is collated into a hard copy directory given to all delegates.
• Using the information provided in the event directory, each delegate is asked to select the companies they wish to meet.
• A personal meeting schedule is then created for each company based upon both buyer and supplier requests.

The Format

• Each supplier is allocated a meeting table in a conference room where all meetings take place over two days. The buyers go from meeting point to meeting point according to their schedule.
• Each meeting lasts 20 minutes.
• There will also be a one hour 'supplier showcase' session on meeting day two. This is an appointment-free session allowing the buyers time to visit other suppliers not on their scedules in a free and relaxed fashion, exhibition style.
• There are a total of up to 22 meetings organised within the official programme over the two days.

The Networking

As well as the face-to-face meetings, attendees network during the breakfasts, lunches and dinners with further networking opportunities during the team building event and social programme.

The ratio of buyers to suppliers is strictly controlled and the number of suppliers attending from each category is also limited. This ensures that SPATEC provides the maximum business opportunities whilst retaining a unique atmosphere in which to develop strong business relationships.

The Supplier Showcase

An hour-long appointment-free session is dedicated to the Supplier Showcase. During this time, buyers will be free to move between the supplier tables and exhibits as an open forum - exhibition style. It is the ideal time to meet with those delegates with whom no appointment has been scheduled.

Quotes:

• "SPATEC is a very efficient use of my time, where I can dedicate 20 minutes of quality time to each supplier. I have been telling many suppliers that if they want to meet me they should book SPATEC as they will be guaranteed devoted time to speak."

  Andrew Gibson, Group Spa Director, Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group

• "As a first timer at SPATEC I found the event extremely productive. Meetings with the suppliers were fast, intense and effective and networking with people who are genuinely passionate about the spa industry was a lot of fun."

  Michael Clarke, Raison d'Etre
