How?

Register at least 1 month before your SIAL show. Simply follow one of the links below. Top Buyers and sellers from all food-related industries are invited to attend, so you’ll be sure to find someone to partner with!

When?

Once you’ve entered your information, we’ll find potential partners for you to work with and schedule a meeting during the Expo. Shortly before the event, participants will receive a personalized schedule with their meeting times. Please remember that each time slot is highly sought after, so do inform us of any change in your schedule so that we can arrange a substitution or update the agenda.

All meetings are held in our exclusive Hosted Buyer Program event space. This area enables our hosts to sit face to face and talk in private, confidentially.
