Business Facilities LiveXchange is a hosted buyer event, designed to directly connect professionals involved in the site selection process with economic developers from across North America. Hosted buyer events are free to attend for qualified executives, and the agenda includes one-on-one meetings, networking opportunities, and educational sessions.
What Are Hosted Buyers?
Hosted buyers at LiveXchange (or as we call them, Delegates) are professionals involved in the site selection process, which can include C-suite executives, corporate real estate managers, site consultants or tax & incentives professionals. As a capacity-controlled event, all Delegates must apply to attend. All approved Delegates will receive two nights’ hotel accommodations, all meals, participation in networking events, and a travel stipend of up to $500.
What Is Expected Of Hosted Buyers/Delegates?
Delegates at LiveXchange must work on site selection projects nationwide, and be willing to meet with a minimum of ten economic development sponsors over the course of the event. One-on-one meetings are 30 minutes in length, and are prescheduled based on your interest level.
Approximately three weeks before the event, you’ll be asked to enter the event portal and select the EDOs with whom you’d like to meet. As an approved Delegate, you drive the meeting process – you will never be automatically placed in a one-on-one meeting with an EDO you did not select to meet with. Once your selections are made, as well as selections of the EDOs, a personalized itinerary is created based on your preferences. Approved Delegates must follow the entire meeting schedule provided to them.
How Do I Apply/Qualify?
All Delegates are required to fill out an application detailing their current site selection project details, or their recent site selection activity. All applications will be reviewed prior to acceptance within 1-2 business days. A member of our team might reach out to you with questions in order to make a final decision.
