&#8211; Seniority level: Senior Manager or above 
&#8211; Intentions: We do not offer complimentary passes to consultants or sales representatives. (And of course, we ask that delegates be employed in the industry corresponding to the event they apply for).

Every event attendee is assigned a member of the attendee relations team from the moment your registration is complete. We get to know everything about what you&#8217;re looking to achieve with your professional and departmental goals.
Your attendee relations executive will work with you to build a talk track, find relevant solution providers, and handle every aspect of your attendance, all the way down to dietary needs. Complete your registration and leave the rest to us.

Your Summit experience is fully customised around you and your needs.

Come in with a challenge. Leave with options, contacts, and a game-plan.
Researching B2B solutions can be a long, frustrating process—especially when you’re already stretched thin. That’s what makes One-on-One meetings so powerful. Instead of wandering an exhibition hall, we ask about your priorities in advance, and arrange short, informal meetings with solution providers who match your needs.
It’s a fast, easy, and no-pressure way to handle month’s worth of solutions research with ease. As a thank you, our solution providers will cover your entire costs of the event, including your conference pass and other event benefits. It’s a win-win!
