A FULLY-FLEDGED HOSTED BUYER PROGRAMME
👉 Who?
If you're a UK or European decision-maker responsible for organising meetings and events, applying to be a hosted buyer will ensure you maximise your time at the show. Please note that all applications will be reviewed according to: the size and frequency of your events, your level of purchasing/decision-making authority, and the geographic locations of your events.
👉 Why? 
You’ll receive a dedicated diary to use to arrange meetings with exhibitors from all over the world, putting the power in your hands and allowing you to decide who you want to meet with. Plus, a number of other complimentary benefits including travel and accommodation, exclusive networking events, which have previously included evening receptions at HMS Belfast, Museum of London Docklands and Puttshack, a bespoke educational experience, and the opportunity to attend a UK or European fam trip.
Join our Hosted Buyers Group!
2-days & welcome reception programme includes:
- Attendance at the official welcome reception on Tuesday 18Â June
- 2 days at The Meetings Show
- 16 Appointments across the two exhibition days (just 20 minutes each)
- 2 nights’ accommodation on Tuesday 18 and Wednesday 19 June, unless you are based in London
Buyers who have requested accommodation assistance during the application process will be allocated a room in one of our partner hotels. If attending as part of a hosted buyer group, where possible, group members will be placed in the same hotel.
- Travel provided on request (UK and Europe only)
Buyers based outside the Greater London area are eligible for travel assistance to and from The Meetings Show. We work with a TMC who will contact buyers directly to arrange this. For UK based buyers, this will be a standard class rail ticket. For overseas buyers, this will be return economy flights from Europe or standard class Eurostar tickets.
Transfers will be available from the relevant airports direct to The Meetings Show. This could be by limo, coach or for London Heathrow it will be a rail ticket on the Elizabeth Line, which now runs directly from Heathrow to Custom House (ExCeL). A London Underground travel pass is included with train tickets to allow buyers to make their own way to The Meetings Show via public transport. There are transfers to all major London airports after the show closes on Thursday afternoon. Your specific transfer arrangements will be emailed to you the week prior to The Meetings Show. Any travel taken outside of the show dates will not be eligible for transfers.
