2. Save time and energy meeting with vendors who suit your needs.
A NewWay to Source Vendors
HR & Employee Benefits Summit (941) 925-7585 www.forumevents.com
Tailored to your company's needs
Appointment-based events are a fool proof method for developing
quality relationships with providers. Our unique selection process
allows you to describe your company's needs and projects. Our team
then sources vendors based on your needs, scheduling concentrated,
one-on-one meetings over the day-and-a-half event. This provides a
private setting for you to discuss solutions and ask questions.
Challenges the traditional exhibition environment
Unlike a traditional trade show, you will be comfortably seated at your
own table while vendors meet with you at their scheduled times.
There are no largescale exhibits or long standing periods, just
comfortable and informative business conversations.
It’s not just meetings...
Throughout the event, you will have the opportunity to attend educational
seminars along with numerous networking activities including breakfasts,
luncheons and a formal gala dinner. We encourage that you get to know
potential providers and industry peers during these after hour activities -
including several cocktail receptions and a casino evening.
Proven Experience
The HR & Employee Benefits Summit is produced by Forum
Events. Hosting more than 250 events since 1996 in North
America and Europe, Forum Events has created a proven
method for successful business events designed with you in
mind.

suppliers than a normal tradeshow.
