Meet the Buyer

Information about how Meet the Buyer works

• Only RIN Exhibitors can apply for Meet the Buyer
• Our Sales and Marketing Manager Antoinette manages Meet the Buyer formal interviews
• She asks the buyers what types of products and services they specifically want to meet or what problems do they want to solve such as for example – a need for more civils contractors options
• Antoinette then goes to the supply chain exhibitors to ask them to apply and guides them as to what the buyers needs are so they can adjust their approach to suit each buyer
• The exhibitors apply by application form to meet buyers they are interested in – a link will appear here when we are ready and choose buyers they are interested to meet
• The buyers then take their pick of the applicants
• Antoinette then creates a schedule for appoints usually 3 an hour over 4 hours
• On the day she manages the diary introducing suppliers to buyers, she is your host and looks after you

The application link and details for the MTB event at RIN Derby 2025 will be available here soon!
