ConnexLive events bring together buyers and suppliers who are actively exploring new business relationships based on matching needs/solutions.
ConnexLive uses a hosted-buyer model to facilitate targeted 30-minute face-to-face meetings in private settings between pre-screened guests and hosts. Participation is by invitation only and is limited to a small number of highly-qualified executives to ensure a productive, relevant and value-driven experience. Read more about ConnexLive.

Key Benefits
ConnexLive uses a proven format that enables busy executives to explore, collaborate, and compare solutions and potential partners in a highly structured two-day period. Participation as a host or guest at a ConnexLive event can significantly reduce the time and cost associated with flights, conference calls, meetings and emails that typically surround supplier/solution sourcing and research.

Here's How ConnexLive Meetings Work

Step 1: Collaboration
We seek out and qualify buyers and suppliers. Red 7 Media has the largest database of professionals in the event and media industries. We leverage this unique market access to recruit qualified buyers with specific needs and plans and match them with the suppliers that can best fulfill them. This is a "high touch" process that involves telephone interviews and specially developed technology that facilitates matches based on criteria provided by our participants. The goal: scheduled meetings that are relevant and productive.

Step 2: Preparation
Once your appointments are set, we provide you with the information and tools you need to prepare for your ConnexLive meetings before the event, ensuring that you are fully prepared and can make the most of your time.

Step 3: Connections
The magic of ConnexLive events occurs on-site, where hosts and guests come together to explore new opportunities and share insights and ideas. We facilitate the entire on-site experience with our high level of customer service.

Guest participation in ConnexLive is by invitation only, and includes a world-class program, deluxe accommodations, and all meals, and activities. It is designed for qualified executives with demanding schedules, and provides an atmosphere and environment that fosters productive discussions with top-tier suppliers who can help accomplish your strategic business goals.

In just two days out of the office, you will:

• Meet one-on-one with pre-matched industry suppliers who represent the products and services you're looking for.
• Network with peer executives at receptions, roundtable sessions and other programmed functions.
• Participate in a world-class conference program led by industry leaders who will provide insights, ideas and inspiration that you can profit from.

ConnexLive arms you with a new collection of contacts and opportunities to move your business forward. You leave with a new view of your business and your future with content, tools, inspiration, contacts, and important business relationships.
