Our hosted buyer programme makes it easy for top buyers to be present at the show, maximising the sales potential for our solution providers.

We also have an excellent track record of bringing new products to the European market and helping vendors increase their market share. This year's event, combining a showcase-led exhibition with industry insight sessions, private boardroom appointments and pre-arranged one-to-one meetings, will provide more opportunities than ever for innovative manufacturers to meet and influence the key people who will ensure their future business growth, said Nick Cabrera, Managing Director, RetailVision Europe.
