The best deals don’t wait. Neither should you.

This summer, the highest-value buyer perks are reserved for those who move early. If Connect Marketplace is already on your calendar, now’s the time to lock in your spot, because a week from now, the best perks are gone.

👀 And don’t get it twisted… this isn’t just meetings.

Our Hosted Buyer Experience is built to help you level up, source smarter, network bigger, and leave with real momentum. Think: months of event sourcing, compressed into three high-impact days (with a lot of fun baked in, of course) 😉
