出席

The meeting schedule becomes available approximately three weeks prior to the event.

• The first week, the access is granted exclusively to exhibitors, allowing them to review the list of buyers and send out meeting invitations. To streamline the process, we provide a buyer list sorted by matching scores to help you identify the most suitable prospects, although you can also perform your own searches.
  
  
• In the following week, the schedule opens to buyers. During this time, they can review the invitations they’ve received and respond accordingly. Buyers can also access the exhibitor list and send meeting requests, enabling a two-way interaction.
  
  
• Please note that, within our system, the recipient of the meeting invitation determines the meeting’s date and time, not the initiator. This approach has proven to be the most effective approach to maximise the total number of scheduled meetings.
  
  

Qualified buyers (distributors, retailers, or resellers) have two participation options:

• Hosted Buyer: receive a complimentary invitation that includes accommodation for two nights, all meals as outlined in the event agenda, airport transfers, and full access to the conference. The only expense you’ll need to cover is your flight to Nice International Airport. This package requires you to schedule and attend at least 10 one-on-one meetings with event exhibitors.
• Invited Buyer: if you prefer to attend without committing to meetings, you can opt for the Invited Buyer package, available for a nominal fee.

Yes. Once our meeting system goes live you will be able to send and receive meeting requests in advance of the show. You can also register for workshops so once you arrive in Monaco or Abu Dhabi, you'll have a bespoke agenda to follow in addition to key events in the agenda such as keynote presentations, networking functions and the gala dinner.

Each event offers 20 meeting slots spread across two days.

Most exhibitors typically bring a team of 2 to 3 representatives, enabling parallel meetings to enhance your engagement with buyers. Your chosen package includes a specific number of delegate badges, with each badge granting access to up to 20 meetings. Therefore if you schedule separate meetings for two delegates, you can conduct up to 40 meetings. However, if all meetings are booked together, the maximum remains 20. The flexibility allows you to strategically manage how you send out meeting invitations to optimize your participation.

Channel Summits run a series of awards for both exhibitors and channel delegates. The 'Best Vendor' and 'Best Product' exhibitor awards are voted for by the attending e-tailers, retailers and distributors, and are highly valued by the winners.

The Circularity Initiative Awards are application based and decided by a panel of judges. 

Channel Summit META also features the 'Best Distributor' award, voted live by the attend retailers and e-tailers. There is also an additional application based award for 'Best Product Launch' for brands to submit a successful product campaign in partnership with a retailer.
