Can I change my networking activity?
It’s easy for you to change your activity through Wyred. Head to the ‘Networking Activities’ tab and click ‘Cancel’ next to your current activity. Then you can click ‘Book’ next to your new activity of choice. Please note, activities are booked on a first-come, first-served basis, so there may not be any spaces left at your preferred activity.

All of our events offer standard tables; however, some of them offer additional options such as Pavilions, Studios, and Booths. Each of these spaces come with their own benefits, from branded walls and elevated stands to podium opportunities and more.

Your Event
How many meetings will I have?
Depending on the Forum, suppliers will have up to 40 one-to-one meetings with relevant buyers. Based on the information you give us regarding your preferences, our AI matchmaking technology will pre-select the best buyers for your business. For more information, please select your chosen event on the event calendar.
I’m local. Can I just attend the meetings?
It’s important that you stay for the entire duration of the event. This ensures that you get maximum value from the event experience, and can meet with the widest selection of buyers during shared experiences and social evenings outside your meeting schedule. However, if this is not possible for you, get in touch with your Account Manager.
Do you book my accommodation for me?
We’ll be in touch nearer to the event to give you details on preferential rates for your host hotel. You’ll then have to book and pay for your accommodation.Where can I find the event schedule?
You can find your event schedule on the ‘My Schedule’ tab on the Wyred event platform up to four weeks before the event, along with programme details and your meeting preferences. To access your meetings schedule and receive at-event notifications, please ensure that you have downloaded the Wyred app which you’ll be able to access one week before the event.
