With a guest list that consists of 150 VIP delegates, we ensure personal attention and productive networking opportunities to every participant. Both the suppliers and buyers are chosen on fixed and elaborate pre-qualification criteria. Thus, eliminating any possibility of discrepancy or dissatisfaction to all the parties involved in any manner. Moreover, based on the requirements, the suppliers and the buyers choose who they want to collaborate with in meaningful one-to-one meetings on the days of the event.

On the day of the summit, you'll be a part of a forum that will facilitate meaningful sharing of knowledge along with insightful discussions on the latest trends in the industry. Along with exchanging of cards, the attendees of the RED summit will engage in one to one meetings with leaders and key decision makers from across the industry and strike business collaborations. These encounters are facilitated in a systematic manner through carefully-designed networking activities. The suppliers showcase their product lines to multiple qualified buyers who will be present at the event. To aid with the navigation through various facets of the RED Summit, a key-account manager is allocated who will help maximizes networking opportunities.

Even after the event, the RED Summit assures personal assistance through the key-account managers. Along with following up regarding the meetings, the manager will act on any postponement by setting-up another meet in accordance with the buyers and suppliers preferences.
