TO THE TABLE MEA is only as good as the delegates who have attended say it is… turns out they have some very positive comments.
'TO THE TABLE is a breath of fresh air in the conference circuit. It was apparent that the organisers recruited a tailored group of professionals and hosted the event in the style that anyone in F&B would truly appreciate. I left the meetings with a list of opportunities to pursue as well as friendships.’
Director, Global Sales / Senior Vice President Global Sales iRiS Software Systems
’TO THE TABLE exceeded all expectations - we met the best buyers, and networked with the best people. It delivered a cost effective multi layered delivery that we are following up currently and we are sure it will deliver success.'
Export Business Development Manager, Churchill
'The TO THE TABLE event, is an extremely well organised, professional networking event that brings suppliers and the right decision makers together under one roof to explore opportunities for mutual business development. The time it would take to gain appointments with these senior buying teams on an individual basis would be months, if not years, but the TO THE TABLE team enabled us to do it in 2 days, coupled with interesting and innovative industry presentations, giving an even greater depth of return on investment.’
GTR Sales Manager, Treasury Wine Estates
‘TO THE TABLE MEA 2014 provided a unique and invaluable opportunity to meet and discuss business with key decision makers in the hospitality industry. New relationships were made and old ones renewed through an exceptionally well run program of formal and informal meetings amongst informative and innovative seminars.’
Managing Director, Mulwarra Export Pty Ltd
‘This is one of the best networking events in the hospitality industry and has already tipped to be the number one of its kind, better than the Hotec and others.’
Sales Director GCC, Athena
‘Absolutely one of the best networking opportunities in the foodservice industry.’
Vice President Global Accounts EMEA, Institutional, Ecolab Europe GmbH
This was our second TO THE TABLE event and our main reason for attending is the format of 25 minute one-on-one meetings with quality buyers, which creates a unique opportunity for focussed discussions to create opportunities for both buyers and sellers. There is no other event that we are aware of which creates such an effective environment. The organisation of the event is extremely complex but done in a way that almost everything ran smoothly so that buyers and sellers could just focus on what they were there for - meeting new people and exploring opportunities.
