Only exhibitors can access meetings with international buyers
Salón Gourmets has created the SG Matchmaking web application so exhibitors can schedule meetings with buyers of interest, choosing the day and time that suit them best. This allows them to organise their own personalised agenda. Exhibitors wishing to participate only need to register in advance in their private area.
Who can take part as an international buyer?
If you work for an international quality food and beverage company, have purchasing decision-making authority and your company has no office in Spain, you may be invited as a buyer by the Salón Gourmets organisation.
