How does it work?
Our approach has been refined through experience and constant improvement.
- AUDIENCE QUALIFICATION
We pride ourselves on our audience qualification process. Each retail executive invited to DCC MEA is carefully qualified to ensure that you meet the real decision makers in the region. Thanks to our regional team, our partners and years of expertise, we have access to the most comprehensive and up-to-date retail databases for the MEA region.
- VENDORS BOARDROOM PRESENTATIONS
Vendors’ boardroom presentations are a unique way to communicate first-hand information about your latest products and technologies in the privacy of a boardroom setting. This is also your opportunity to explain to MEA retailers your go-to-market strategy, marketing plan or even the price points of your products and solutions. Each boardroom meeting lasts for 20 minutes and includes 12 to 15 retailers. Registration works via a pre-booking process driven by our web site.
- PRE-SCHEDULED ONE-ON-ONE MEETINGS
DCC MEA is the perfect place to host private and pre-arranged face-to-face meetings with the retailers. Thanks to our advanced web tool, all your meetings are carefully planned, prepared and pre-scheduled.
- KNOWLEDGE TRANSFER
Get the latest market research and trends analysis from our research partners and other industry experts during DCC MEA. A compelling mixture of keynote speeches, panel discussion and workshops ensures that you make the most of the DCC MEA conference programme.
- PROFESSIONAL NETWORKING
Relationship building is key to success in any productive business partnership. DCC MEA offers you a wide range of opportunities to meet your existing retailers, prospective retail partners and vendor colleagues in a friendly atmosphere; during lunch, over cocktails or at dinner... all in a pleasant and relaxed environment.
- DCC CHANNEL AWARDS
DCC MEA incorporates a series of awards, allowing retailers the opportunity to judge the performance, portfolio and market strategy of vendors operating in the MEA region. Exciting, innovative award formats ensure that the DCC Channel Awards remain a popular part of the overall event experience. DCC MEA features the innovative ’60 Seconds to Convince’ awards – a prime opportunity to showcase your latest product and gain priceless exposure in the MEA retail market.
- A PREMIUM PROPERTY
We offer a premium quality professional convention setting, courtesy of Le Meridien Al Aqah Beach Resort, specialists in successful, friendly and exclusive business conventions.
- BUSINESS-MATCH SOFTWARE
Designed specifically for DCC MEA, Business-Match allows retailers to pre-register for the Boardroom presentations of their choice and to know - in advance - the topic covered. It allows vendors to know which delegates will attend their boardroom sessions ahead of the event itself.
- WEB SERVICE AT www.dcc-mea.com
Once registered, each business partner and vendor is assigned a login and password to manage all the details related to their participation at the conference including travel logistics, business data, boardroom participation and one-on-one meetings.
