INCOMPAS NEWS -- December 12, 2016

Buyers and sellers will have even more time to meet and do business at The INCOMPAS Show in New Orleans April 3-5. After the success of our first Buyers Forum in Fall 2016, INCOMPAS is expanding the program to include even more networking and time for scheduled meetings.

For qualified buyers, the Buyers Forum provides an opportunity to meet and do business with sellers from across the country in a "speed-meeting" business format. This is the perfect way for buyers to make effective use of their time at the show and take care of meeting with several potential vendors in one place. Qualified hosted buyers will receive complimentary registration to The INCOMPAS Show. If you are a buyer for your organization and are interested in taking part in the Buyers Forum, please email Amanda Darvill.

For sellers, INCOMPAS does the work for you and secures the buyers you want to meet with and helps coordinate the one-on-one meetings you want. If you are a seller and would like to participate, email Samantha Edidin or call 312-673-5685.

Tuesday, April 4

10:30 a.m.-11:30 a.m. Buyer Open Time (Unscheduled meeting opportunities the Expo Hall)
