ROUNDTABLES
For a list of corporates hosting a Roundtable and to understand the categories they are looking for, please visit our Event App for detailed information.
Our Roundtable Connections takes place on May 1st, 2025. Each table will have one Corporate Host.
How It Works
– Suppliers select a table to sit at to meet the corporation.
– Prepare and practice your 30 second pitch to introduce your company, then allow for discussion with Q&A.
– You are welcome to bring your one page capabilities statement, but they are not required.
– Suppliers please be mindful of others at your table. Allow for everyone the opportunity to speak. This is NOT a 1:1 session. It is a group conversation.
– Bring business cards to exchange. We also recommend putting one on the back of your conference badge, so others can take a photo of it.
– Etiquette – Suppliers do not leave the table you are seated at until the round ends. Do not join tables after the round begins.
How To Prepare
– Bring business cards to exchange. We also recommend putting one on the back of your conference badge, so others can take a photo.
– Create a target list BUT be opened to meeting other corporations. You never know when an unexpected connection can lead to opportunities! Supplier to Supplier connections matter just as much as Supplier to Corporation.
– Make sure your LinkedIn profile is up to date as many attendees use that to make connections also.
– Each round will be approximately 20 minutes, then Suppliers rotate to another table. There will be a total of 4 rounds.
– If more than one person per company is attending we recommend that you each sit at different tables.
– Once you are seated at a roundtable you are expected to stay seated for the duration of that round. Please do not get up and leave during a round to move to another table.
