Samuel Dunlop
Wren International

"This was an incredibly innovative event that allowed me, as a hosted buyer, to experience and learn about the city I was in while having fun but also meaningful connections with the suppliers. Impeccably thought out and organized, and I left with many new friends and contacts in the space. My heartfelt thanks for including me, I would recommend it to anyone."

Liz Cook
L&K Corporate Events

"I found the format of the one on one meetings with the suppliers very unique, and loved the opportunity to be immersed in their cultures, before meeting them, allowing me a better understanding of what they have to offer. I have attending a few hosted-buyer programs in the past, and really enjoyed the format and quality of my meetings that I found productive. It was a very good use of my time, thank you!."

Francois Fournier
