FAQs

Platform Events are exclusive, industry-specific meet-the-buyer events designed to facilitate focused, one-to-one meetings between buyers and suppliers. Unlike traditional exhibitions, our platforms offer pre-arranged, targeted appointments, ensuring you connect with the right people efficiently.

Our events bring together decision-making buyers from leading companies and innovative suppliers offering relevant solutions. Attendees include professionals from industries such as facilities management, catering, construction, and more.

Our events focus on pre-scheduled, qualified meetings rather than casual booth visits. This ensures more productive conversations and meaningful business connections, saving you time and enhancing your ROI.

Our events take place at venues across London. Upcoming events include: 

• Facilities Platform: Intercontinental London, O2 Hotel 

• Catering Platform: Hilton Hotel, London Heathrow 

• Projects Platform: Intercontinental London, O2 Hotel
  Full details of the venue and directions are provided in your confirmation email and event itinerary.
