• Both Hoteliers & Clients will have access to the online appointment scheduling tool to view attendee profiles and submit appointment requests.
• After all appointment requests are received, appointment schedules will be generated and be available in the event mobile app.

• 1st - Mutual Requests (where both the hotel and client request to meet with each other)
• 2nd - Client Requests (based on their hotel ranking order and time the request was received)
• 3rd - Hotelier Requests (based on hotel's client ranking order and time the request was received)

At the event:

• Ten-minute time slots (7 minutes to meet, 3 minutes to move to next appointment) will be allocated for hotels to meet with clients/buyers.
• Each client/buyer will be assigned a numbered table within one of three areas on the floor: Business, Leisure & Groups.
• Hotels will circulate to the client/buyer tables based on either:
• A pre-scheduled appointment time booked using the appointment scheduling tool
• Buyers/clients that do not have a booked appointment for the current time slot will have a sign posted at their table indicating they are available to meet.
• A buzzer will indicate the end of each ten-minute session
• BWH Hotels Sales Managers will be also on-site to assist and facilitate meetings with clients and hoteliers.
  

What if I don't get a pre-scheduled appointment with a client during the appointments/networking sessions?

• If any attendee is unable to secure time with a client / buyer, please reach out to the BWH Hotels Sales Manager.
• Be sure to take advantage of the opening reception, off-site social event and meal breaks.

• Do your research - Review buyer/client profiles in the appointment scheduling module and request appointments with the companies best aligned with your property's sales goals.
• Focus on meeting new clients - in addition to clients you already work with
• Do your homework - Once your schedule is confirmed, understand who you are meeting with and how you can help them
