Inbound Buyer Delegation from the European Union

Thirty-five European importers, retail buyers and sourcing agents visit the fair for three days of pre-matched meetings with local suppliers, plus factory visits.

About this delegation

A hosted buyer delegation bringing thirty-five European importers, retail buyers and sourcing agents to the fair. Buyers submit a sourcing brief in advance; the organiser matches them to exhibitors and builds a meeting diary for both sides, so exhibitors know exactly who is coming to their stand and why.

After the fair, a two-day factory visit programme takes buyers to shortlisted suppliers for capacity and compliance verification.

  • Deliver at least six qualified buyer meetings per participating exhibitor
  • convert stand conversations into audited factory visits
