    Retail Safari

    A guided tour through the key retail landscape for your category — so you're primed before the conversations begin.

Stage 02 — On The Day

The Room

The reason you came. Carefully choreographed one-on-one meetings with the buyers who decide what gets ranged.

  • Evening before

    Cocktails

    The night before your event you'll meet some of the buyers over a cocktail. Not just fun — it super-charges the conversations the next day.

  • Event day

    Power Meets

    The main event. Private, one-on-one meetings with key category retail & trade buyers. Incredibly powerful.

  • Event day

    Next Steps

    Our technology ensures conversations don't end on the day. Full buyer contact details and live opportunities — you'll bounce out of the Room.

Stage 03 — After the Day

Keep the momentum

The Buyer Room is the start of the conversation. We keep it going long after the doors close.

  • Post-event

    Follow-Ups

    The Buyer Room is the start of the conversation. We'll provide insights on how to ensure that conversation continues.

  • Post-event

    Virtual Buyer Room

    Where a major retail or trade partner can't make it in-person, we facilitate one-on-one virtual sessions — so no opportunity is missed.
