Pre-arranged one-to-one meetings
This facility is now open for registered attendees of the full Rushlight Clean Technologies Show. It was introduced for the first time last year and was very well received, so we are looking to continue to develop it this year.
Cleantech companies can request a meeting with the delegate representing the chosen organisation listed in the "Who will be attending" listing or one of the chosen organisations set out below.
The application form to request a meeting is set out below against the relevant group. The completed meeting request form must be to meet with just one person, ie an individual investor and not "all the investors"! Please send the completed form to us at john@eventuremedia.co.uk. This is then passed by us to the other party who can choose to accept or decline. If the request is accepted, a 15 minute meeting is scheduled in the middle of the day. Please note that if certain meeting requestees receive more than a certain number of requests, then they may choose to convert all those meetings into a closed door workshop/ clinic for all those that have made the request for a meeting.
Cleantech companies who have registered as delegates can arrange to have one-to-one meetings with the following specialists or groups of other participants during the show:
UK Trade & Investment - please complete this form to request a meeting with a UKTI representative who can help you with any of your activities outside of the UK.
