Welcome to the International Partnering Forum!
The Partnering Forum is an exclusive business matchmaking event, and it all starts here. Posted in this space are the profiles of all participating companies. Take the time to read and evaluate their profiles, so that you can make the most of your business matchmaking.
NEW for 2008: IPF participants will also have access to a "Schmooze Lounge" on Friday for additional networking and/or follow up meetings
Instructions:
- View profiles of interest
- Determine which companies you'd like to meet with
- E-mail your top 6 choices (in order of preference)* to dennis@newmediabc.com by 5pm (Pacific Standard Time), Friday May 9th preferred (Wednesday May 14th at the latest).
Once all meeting requests have been received and compiled, we will arrange your one-on-one meetings, each of which will be about 25 minutes long.
* We cannot guarantee that all meeting requests can be fulfilled, but there will be plenty of opportunities for networking throughout the forum and festival.
