Elite Meetings Internationals proprietary FaceTime™ Appointment Scheduler has been selected to facilitate connections, appointments and scheduling between 10,000 buyers and suppliers at The Motivation Show (IT&ME).
The Motivation Show takes place October 12-14, 2010 at McCormick West in Chicago.
“We are very excited about providing the FaceTime planning tool to ALL of our attendees at the Show this October,” said Pete Erickson, Managing Director of The Motivation Show.
“Every advance buyer/planner registrant will be sent login credentials in the weeks leading up to The Motivation Show that provides them with access to the entire supplier/exhibitor database in order to pre-schedule their time on the exhibit floor and confirm one-on-one appointments in advance.”
The pre-set appointments will be 15 minutes in length and begin at 9:15am on the morning of Wednesday, October 13, and conclude at 4:00pm on Thursday, October 14.
With allowance for luncheon and networking opportunities, a total of 26 time slots will be available for appointment requests over the two days of the tradeshow.
Erickson continued, “At a major industry event like The Motivation Show, there is no more important skill than time management for connecting with the right people at the right time. FaceTime makes that process easier and more effective at The Motivation Show than ever before, assuring our attendees receive excellent ROI from their show participation.”
