MEET THE BUYER EVENT, MAY 2-3, UK

Words: Oliver Smith

The team at World Vape Show raised a lot of intrigue when they first announced the new business to business event Meet the Buyer.

Housed at the picturesque Belfry Hotel and Golf Resort, the venue was the perfect melting pot for the vaping industry to do business.

It was an event full of connecting, networking and meeting possible new clients for all the visitors.

The day was structured with various tables scattered around the main function room, suppliers and buyers, with a short time to chat and interact on each table… giving it a ‘speed dating-like’ style.

There was a massive sense of excitement in the air on the morning when the doors to the golf resort opened.

I noticed a real buzz in the venue, with lots of new and old faces that I was able to reconnect with after some time apart.

Each buyer and supplier a chance to present their brand in the best light possible.

With Brett Heaps, Eco Vape hailing the success of the ‘speed dating’, saying: “The innovative concept of speed dating for business was nothing short of brilliant.

“Allowing for dynamic interactions with suppliers and buyers from various sectors where vape sales have been skyrocketing.”

Overall feedback at this early stage from onsite and immediately after was really positive and the WVS team are extremely happy with how it went.
