MATCH! CONCIERGE SERVICE
What is the MATCH! Program?
MATCH! is a complimentary service offered to qualified decision makers looking to make the most efficient use of their time on the exhibit hall floor. MATCH! Decision Makers gain exclusive access to our one-to-one matchmaking appointment portal to filter through MATCH! exhibitors carrying the products and services of their interest. This service creates a time-saving meeting experience bringing retailers and vendors together to expedite mutually beneficial business deals. Meetings take place right at the exhibitors’ booths, giving decision makers liberty to explore the rest of the show floor.

Why Match!?
The goal and result of MATCH! is to service retailers/wholesalers and vendors together to expedite and create efficiency for the process of doing business. MATCH! exhibitors pay a fee to gain access to a highly-targeted decision maker pool for pre-set meetings. Qualified retailers are screened by The NGA Show’s MATCH! team to ensure they are actively evaluating and making purchasing decisions for their organizations while exhibitors are screened to ensure they are offering products/services that meet our buyers’ demand. Once on-site in Las Vegas, The NGA Show MATCH! team will help facilitate meetings with decision makers and exhibitors.
