FDIC’s MATCH! Program is a customized meeting experience that connects exhibitors with decision makers from the fire and rescue service who are actively participating in selecting products or services that address the immediate needs of their department and the communities they protect.
MATCH!
-
I love this! I travel all around the country and attend a lot of tradeshows. This is the best set up I’ve ever seen for one-to-one conversations.
-
I’ve been to other one-to-one meeting events and was blown away by the turnout here and the engagement. Nice that prospects came with an agenda of items to discuss, I haven’t seen that before.
-
This was phenomenal! I can definitely see writing $400,000 in business just on these Match meetings. I will definitely do this again!
-
I would have never had this type of quality meetings with departments of this caliber any other way.
-
This is the best 3 hours I’ve ever spent. I’ve made more contacts in 3 hours than I would have in 3 days on the show floor.
