Supplier Testimonials:
"Having attended a similar event with marginal success, I naturally was apprehensive about the prospects for success. However, I could not be more pleased with the results. The quality of my meetings was excellent and exceeded my expectations. In fact, I had several firms ask me, after the scheduled meetings, to learn more about my product."
-Everette Foreman, President,
Luzern Limited
"We attended Hospitality Match Hospitality Match for the first time in 2006 as we were expanding our existing retail and online furniture sales to the hospitality industry. We generated one sale and have another potential sale lined up that could be directly attributed to attending Match; however, the information we obtained and the contacts we made were invaluable. The organizers of Hospitality Match went out of their way to help us and introduce us to other people, and the one-on-one sessions were perfect for a start-up business. The designers and purchasing agents we met were extremely willing to provide information and advice to us, and we have asked some of them for feedback throughout the year as we move forward developing our business and product catalog. There is absolutely no way we could have made so many valuable contacts so quickly without attending Hospitality Match.
It is a difficult decision to decide where to spend money when one is a start-up company, but Hospitality Match provided the format for us to get started in the hospitality industry a little quicker. We definitely feel we obtained value from attending Hospitality Match 2006 and look forward to attending other sessions in the future.
Please feel free to share this information with other start-up companies that may consider attending Hospitality Match 2007."

"I participate in Match because I prefer the one-on-one contacts with vendors. This organized and focused format gives me the opportunity to offer feedback and talk to the decision makers who can actually make changes. The upscale venue is small, intimate and relaxing making it an excellent environment to conduct business."
