Exhibition

One to One Meetings

The complete concept, the meeting format, matchmaking logic, networking programme and business DNA of the event.

The concept

A business engine built to create useful conversations.

Top Decision-Makers with concrete projects, qualified by our teams, meet suppliers from fit-out, decoration, renovation, restaurant & bar, guest rooms, wellness, bathrooms, maintenance, security, intellectual services and new technologies.

These business meetings reflect a shared objective: enabling decision-makers and exhibitors to connect in a targeted and efficient way through a matchmaking platform developed by Weyou Group.

The Hotel & Restaurant Meetings format favours less volume, more relevance and measurable ROI as soon as the event ends.

Business atmosphere in Cannes
Format

Five pillars shape the One to One experience.

01

Targeted and human meetings

Short business meetings, prepared in advance, between decision-makers and suppliers whose needs and expertise genuinely match.

02

At the exhibitor stand

Each One to One meeting takes place at the exhibitor’s stand, at a precise time, based on a personalised agenda shared in advance.

03

Proprietary matchmaking

Hosted buyers express their needs, exhibitors define their expertise and Weyou Group’s algorithm builds tailored schedules.

04

Conferences without agenda conflicts

A high-level conference programme complements the exhibition and no One to One meetings are scheduled during those sessions.

05

Networking and cocktails

Opening cocktail dinner on the first night, free evening for exhibitors on the second, gala cocktail dinner on the last night.

Outcome

Faster ROI than a traditional trade show

Hosted buyers save time and exhibitors meet decision-makers engaged in concrete projects through more actionable discussions.
