Hosted Buyer Program

• A hosted buyer commits to scheduling a minimum of six (Tier 2) or twelve (Tier 1) appointments with exhibitors during IAAPA Expo Asia, IAAPA Expo Europe, IAAPA Expo Middle East, and IAAPA Expo. These appointments can comprise a combination of individual meetings, stand/booth presentations, and pre-scheduled appointments.
• Be required to book appointments with exhibitors using IAAPA’s online system. We require between six and 12 appointments, although you're welcome to make more.
• Only one hosted buyer application will be accepted per buyer. In the event of more than one application being received, the first application will be processed.
• Acceptance into the hosted buyer program is at the discretion of IAAPA. A hosted buyer who does not meet the qualifying criteria will be given the opportunity to attend as a visitor.
• IAAPA reserves the right to decline a hosted buyer’s application without providing a reason.
• IAAPA reserves the right to cancel the participation of a hosted buyer, including after the buyer’s acceptance into the program; for example, should it become apparent that the buyer is unlikely to fulfill their obligations and commitments to the program.
• IAAPA cannot allow entry to people under the age of 21.
• A hosted buyer is required to attend the IAAPA Expo closest to their area of business for the pre-determined numbers of days.
• Hosted Buyers must arrive by 9 a.m. local time on Day 1 of the Expo.

• Round trip airfare (Tier 1 only)
• Up to three night’s accommodation (room only) at a 4- or 5-star hotel (Tier 1 only)

If you become unable to participate in the program, you may cancel your registration without penalty up to ten days before the Expo. Cancellation requests must be received in writing to [email protected]. Any Hosted Buyer canceling after this deadline, or failing to show for a scheduled meeting, will not be permitted to participate in this program in future Expos and may result in not receiving flight reimbursements.
