The One to One concept

Created by Weyou Group, Hotel & Restaurant Meetings is built around a unique One to One exhibition format. It has become a benchmark in Europe thanks to its efficiency in creating direct connections between Top Decision-Makers and qualified providers of solutions, services and equipment dedicated to the high-end hospitality and restaurant sector.

TARGETED AND HUMAN BUSINESS MEETINGS

Top Decision-Makers with concrete projects, qualified by our teams, meet hospitality and restaurant service providers from sectors including fit-out, interior design, renovation, restaurant & bar equipment, guest rooms, wellness & fitness areas, bathrooms, maintenance, cleaning, security, intellectual services and new technologies, as part of the One to One hospitality exhibition.

These business meetings reflect a shared objective: enabling decision-makers and exhibitors to connect in a targeted and efficient way through our unique matchmaking platform in Europe.

TAILOR-MADE MEETINGS HELD AT THE EXHIBITOR’S STAND

Each One to One meeting takes place directly at the exhibitor’s stand at a scheduled time, according to a personalised agenda provided in advance to the Top Buyers.

Outside these scheduled meetings, Top Decision-Makers are free to explore the exhibition and meet other service providers.
Hotel & Restaurant Meetings, as a One to One hospitality exhibition, guarantees each exhibitor a dedicated space designed to encourage meaningful business discussions.

INSPIRING CONFERENCES TO ENRICH THE EXPERIENCE

A programme of high-level conferences is scheduled at selected times throughout the day, complementing the business meetings.

To ensure optimal attendance, no One to One meetings are scheduled during conference sessions.

FULL SUPPORT FOR TOP DECISION-MAKERS

To ensure an optimal experience, Top Decision-Makers are fully hosted by the organisation : transport, accommodation, catering… everything is arranged so they can focus entirely on their meetings.

NETWORKING AT THE HEART OF THE EVENT

Networking between exhibitors and Top Buyers takes place throughout Hotel & Restaurant Meetings.

  • On the first evening, during the opening cocktail dinner
  • On the second evening, during a free evening for exhibitors to invite their clients and/or prospects for dinner or drinks
  • On the final evening, during the gala night including a cocktail dinner

THE RESULTS OF THE CONCEPT

Thanks to the format developed by Hotel & Restaurant Meetings, Top Decision-Makers quickly identify the service providers that match their needs. They can therefore address their challenges effectively and save valuable time.

The One to One hospitality exhibition also enables exhibitors to meet decision-makers engaged in concrete projects, fostering efficient discussions and delivering a significantly faster return on investment than a traditional trade show.
