This year, Round Robin meetings will take place in a spacious and easy-to-navigate ballroom format. Each supplier will enjoy a 10\u2019x10\u2032 tabletop space, complete with privacy partitions.<\/p>\n<h3>Here\u2019s what\u2019s new:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Spacious ballroom format makes it easier for members to get from meeting-to-meeting quickly and efficiently.<\/li>\n<li>10\u2019x 10\u2032 tabletop space will be furnished with a table, chairs and privacy partitions; electricity is not included.<\/li>\n<li>Since this is not a full trade show format, IBC recommends suppliers bring minimal trade show materials for use at tabletop space\u00a0(e.g. pack as you would for in-suite meetings).<\/li>\n<li>The hotel will store packages shipped ahead of the show. Suppliers are responsible for getting their packages to the ballroom\/tabletops. Packages handled by the hotel may be subject to additional fees.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Here\u2019s what\u2019s the same:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Distributors and Suppliers will select Round Robin meetings based on interest and priority.<\/li>\n<li>Distributors and Suppliers will receive Round Robin schedules prior to the start of the conference. Please anticipate receiving your schedule two weeks ahead of the show.<\/li>\n<li>Each Round Robin meeting is 15 minutes. IBC will notify attendees at the beginning and end of each appointment.<\/li>\n<li>Beverage stations will be available.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Key Dates<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Monday, August 29, 2022 \u2013 Round Robin scheduling opens!
