Corporate Track

Where corporate event professionals source smarter.

The Corporate Track at Connect Spring Marketplace is for corporate event leaders with real budgets and supplier executives with real authority. Through curated one-to-one meetings built for outcomes, Connect creates the conditions for real conversations, real commitments, and real business. If your goal is to source, sell, and sign, this is the room you need to be in.

I went into the event thinking only about 30% of my appointments would be applicable to my current needs and was pleasantly surprised that I could really use 70-80% of the companies I met with within the next year.
