Each Connect event has unique criteria that must be met in order to qualify as a Hosted Buyer. Most events require the ability to rotate nationally and have at least 50 room nights on peak.
Upon completion of your Hosted Buyer registration, a member of our Hosted Buyer Experience team will contact you to confirm your spot as a Hosted Buyer. Once you are confirmed, we will finalize your accommodations and travel plans. Approximately two weeks prior to the event, you will be asked to enter the event portal where you will request appointments with your choice of CVBs, hotels, resorts, and service providers. Shortly after that, we will finalize and confirm your appointment schedule and you'll be provided with a schedule of pre-set appointments. Please come to the event with business in hand, honor your appointment schedule, and stay for the entire event.
When you apply for a Connect event, you’ll be asked to place a registration deposit (typically between $99 – $200, depending on the show that you registered for). If approved, we’ll provide your flight, hotel accommodations, and your registration at no cost. Upon the successful completion of your pre-scheduled one-on-one appointments, your registration fee will be refunded.
No worries! If you already know that there are times you will not be able to take marketplace meetings, please let your hosted buyer representative know. Notifying our team ahead of time will eliminate any problems on site and ensure you have a smooth experience.
Our Connect Group Registration allows you to bring members of your team to participate in our tradeshow, education, and networking experiences. Please contact your Hosted Buyer representative to learn more about our group rates.
If you want to attend a Connect event without committing to pre-scheduled Marketplace Appointments, we invite you to attend as a non-hosted buyer. As a Connect Buyer you will be responsible for securing your own flights and hotels. Your registration will include: ✅ 2-Day access to our dynamic marketplace ✅ Entrance to Connect Spring Marketplace networking events ✅ 10+ hours of educational content ✅ Special non-hosted buyer programming
If you have any questions about our Hosted Buyer Experience please reach out to a member of our team.
