“Buyers are encouraged to apply ahead of the launch of the Mutual Match selection process which takes place in early November.  This is when both buyers and suppliers choose their own personalized business preferences and a match takes place with exhibitors – it’s all about driving the most relevant and valuable appointments for everyone’s business objectives at this year’s show” added Clark.

Both pre and post event Fam Trips are also available for buyers to add more value to their trip to Barcelona.

This year Association buyers will once again be able to join My Association | My Club , an exclusive programme designed to provide each buyer with flexibility to plan an itinerary of business, networking and education that suits their schedule.
