Reverse Expo

Sunday, October 4 | 2:00-5:00 PM

WHAT IS A REVERSE EXPO?

As the name suggests, the Periop Leader Week Reverse Expo flips the traditional expo format – the vendors come to you for one-on-one meetings! We understand your time at the conference is valuable, and you need to make the most of your time in the Periop Networking & Innovation Hall finding the suppliers that fulfill your needs.

The 8-minute “speed dating for business” style meetings are face-to-face, and save you hours of time that would normally be spend in Zoom meetings or demonstrations during the work week. Following on Monday and Tuesday, you can visit with the exhibitors for further discussion and demonstration during Periop Networking & Innovation Hall hours.

If you seek products and services for your facility, the Reverse Expo is the perfect solution to maximize your time in the Hall by allowing you to swiftly determine whether the vendor is the right fit. It provides you a dedicated time to ask questions that might otherwise be more difficult while others travel across the show floor.

How It Works — Reverse Expo

Four steps to the perfect meeting.

Set Your Preferences

Browse the suppliers joining us and rate each one: "Must Meet," "Meet," or "No Thanks" — you stay in control of who you see.

03

WHY PARTICIPATE IN THE REVERSE EXPO?

PERSONAL, 1-ON-1 TIME

These meetings bring you together with potential suppliers in a relaxed environment outside the show floor. You will have 100% of the suppliers’ attention for these 8 minutes, allowing you personalized time to share the challenges you are encountering and learning more about their products and services without competing for time with other attendees.

The Reverse Expo works because it is mutually beneficial, and saves hours of time that would normally be spent communicating via emails or virtual meetings!

YOU WON’T MISS A SECOND OF THE CONFERENCE

The Reverse Expo takes place Sunday afternoon to ensure you won’t miss a second of the conference session content. This is a no-cost way to bring back the information you need to gain capital funding approval and make effective purchasing decisions!

VIP RECEPTION TO FOLLOW

Following the Reverse Expo, we will be hosting a reception with cocktails and hors d’oeuvres for the all participants, as well as Premier Passholders and Periop Leader Insider Members! Take this time to relax, have a bite to eat, and keep chatting before the full conference kicks of on Monday morning.
