Foreign Buyer Matchmaking and site visits/spin-offs
provide high quality value added to your foreign buyer delegation and upgrade the value of your IBP travel package. The Environmental Team will be arranging foreign buyer Matchmaking meetings with U.S. Exhibitors during WASTE EXPO. Foreign buyers will have final say over meetings set up for them based on their product/service requests. Foreign buyer profiles are required at least 6 weeks prior to WASTE EXPO to allow adequate screening time and meeting confirmations. For cases with visas pending, we will market these buyers as tentative.
The Environmental Team is not anticipating arranging site visits at this year’s WASTE EXPO. However, if you have identified a particular need or interest, contact team leader Bill Cline to discuss to whether the team may be able to assist. Please note: the team does not have any funding to arrange any off-site visits, so the requestor should be prepared to fully fund all arrangements for such activities. If you are leading a delegation and looking for site visitor spin off opportunities, please advise the team at least 6-8 weeks in advance so we can arrange. We hope that you will include information about these activities in your recruitment packages. WASTE EXPO does not offer site visits as part of their trade show program.
