Experience
BOND Events match building product manufacturers with Principal Architects in need of solutions to their design challenges.
For 3 days, vendors are fully immersed in an intensive business program alongside the Principal Architects leading the top firms in their sector.
By day, you’ll have a series of one-on-one business meetings with the Principals you choose to meet. By night, you’ll socialize over drinks, dinner and entertainment, all in the surrounds of a five star resort. It’s proven to be a foolproof formula for building game-changing business relationships that last.
Before the Event
Purchase your Package
Prices are based on the number of one-to-one meetings you want. Everything (except flights) is included: three nights accommodation, airport transfers, meals, contacts book.
Choose Meetings
One month before the event, you pick the Design Principals you want to meet, based on their projects and profiles that we provide you with.
Prepare
This is not a trade show. There are no exhibition stands to worry about, the only thing you need is yourself and a good knowledge of the person sitting opposite you.
During the Event
One to One Meetings
Spread over Friday and Saturday, your meetings program is the core of the event. You’ll sit down with the Designers at their own table, for 30 minutes.
Networking
You’ll be making connections from the outset, starting with Thursday’s Pre-Event Tour and Welcome Reception. Breakfasts, lunches and dinners are all spent together, giving you the opportunity to meet all the Designers there.
AIA Accredited Seminars
The word-class Seminars, tailored to Principal-level Designers, help us attract the best in the industry for you to meet. They’ll also give you insight into what Designers are concerned about, right now.
Benefits of The B0ND Experience
More and more building product manufacturers are turning to one-on-one meetings forums as a way to connect and build relationships with Architects. Here, some of BOND's clients explain why...
Why Attend?
Access hard-to-reach Principals
Running a studio often means there’s no time for trade shows, lunch and learns, or returning your calls. But our Principals make time for BOND because they can condense a year’s worth of quality meetings and information, into just two days. Some tell us it’s the only time throughout the year they will meet with suppliers.
Build relationships
With no exhibition stands, displays or staff to worry about, you can focus on building the relationships that will help your business prosper. Pick the meetings package that suits you - everything is included - just show up, take care of business and let us take care of the rest.
Save time and effort
All our Principals are pre-qualified decision makers with significant portfolios of live projects. Our match-making process ensures you’ll have relevant meetings, one after another, making it as easy, effective and fun as possible for you to do your job. Every meeting is a potential for success.
Get specified
30 minute private meetings let you have a depth of interaction you won’t get at a tradeshow or office visit. It proves more effective in getting specified because architects can fully understand your products and their applications, and you can better understand exactly what the Architects need.
of suppliers surveyed in 2018 believe BOND's events provide them with a better ROI compared to a trade show.
Having done trade shows for a number of years I had fairly low expectations on ROI. I was wrong. The event is unlike a trade show and the one-on-one meetings were valuable information exchanges. The exposure to so many folks through the meetings drove familiarity outside the meetings, which helped build great relationships.
