How does it work?
Delegates will apply to the CORKMEET team for the opportunity to meet the buyers. Just like how you will profile your one-on-one business meetings, you will have the opportunity to profile the buyers who will be attending the event. You can then select 6 buyers you would like to meet and we will facilitate up to 3 business meetings for you. The event will be limited to 160 CORKMEET delegates so you are advised to register your interest as soon as possible.
