What makes FACTS unique?
Content
Our obsession with high quality content is unmatched.
None of our Summit speakers are ‘pay-to-play’ and we have zero sponsored content in our summits. Just quality, current expert insights that elevates education and drives strategic outcomes.
Education
Education seminars are offered to differing levels of industry experience.
The FACTS program offers education sessions tailored to delegates' level of industry experience - from fundamental '101' training to expert exploration, enabling delegates to customise their event experience.
Format
100% free flow meetings - no annoying speed-dating!
Buyers are not locked into exhausting ‘hosted buyer programs’ or wasting valuable time in pointless 1:1 meetings. Instead, all attendees are free to connect with the most relevant exhibitors and buyers they wish to meet and engage with.
Engagement
Suppliers can engage with 10x the number of buyers at once by sharing innovative content.
We encourage exhibitors to provide immersive simulations and workshops at their booths - with spotlighted educational sessions available on the Expo Stage.
