Welcome to the October edition of our monthly newsletter! With only a few more days left for Exhibitors to register for CONVENE at the mid-year rate, now is the perfect time to secure your spot on the exhibition floor. Interest in the Hosted Buyer programme has increased considerably this year and anyone eager to share their knowledge and expertise with their industry colleagues is encouraged to join Education sessions as a speaker! 

For those who are already set to participate in CONVENE, please be advised of some notable changes to the programme, which has been shortened slightly to allow for more city tours and post-event tours across the region.

Gdańsk Added to the List of Post-CONVENE Familiarisation Tours

We are delighted to have Gdańsk added as a new destination to the list of post-CONVENE 2018 familiarisation tours. The inclusion of the city will give Hosted Buyers an opportunity to discover one of Poland’s most popular destinations, and helps round out an exciting list that includes familiarisation tours in Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Finland.

The countdown to the mid-year Exhibitor rate!

There are only five days left for Exhibitors to secure their spot on the CONVENE 2018 showroom floor before the late registration rate comes into effect. Great things are always better when you know you saved money to make them happen, so make sure to register as an Exhibitor by 31 October! Take a look at the current Exhibitor list here. 

On that note, registration for Specialist Suppliers is on going. Find out if you fit the Specialist Supplier profile and learn all about registering as one here.
