How the Meeting Scheduling Works
Our goal is to be the single most productive event you participate in all year. As a conference sponsor, you will receive a personalized, pre-arranged, and retailer-approved business meeting schedule prior to our virtual conference. The quantity and duration of these meetings is determined by sponsor level and date the sponsorship is paid. Here is an overview of how the process works:
- CGA provides all sponsors with a complete list of participating retailers.
- Sponsors indicate which retailers, in order of preference, they want to meet.
- CGA creates individual meeting schedules based on the sponsor’s priority status and retailer availability.
- Final schedules are provided to sponsors after CGA confirms the meetings with retailers.
- Custom meeting schedules and virtual meeting links will be uploaded onto the conference platform and accessed via individual log-in.
- To ensure that these meetings are productive for all involved, certain guidelines apply.
