DISTRIBUTECH's MATCH! Elite program is a customized meeting experience that connects key decision makers from companies engaged in transmission and distribution who are actively sourcing products and services, with participating exhibitors who meet their sourcing needs!
What is MATCH!
MATCH! Elite is a highly interactive meeting format that brings together decision makers and suppliers in order to create a productive and collaborative network during the event. With pre-arranged meetings scheduled before even arriving onsite, this program guarantees efficiency, convenience and a sense of community throughout your show experience.

The people were amazing.... I would not have had as productive a conference if you weren’t there to help me. I loved the meeting space, kept me caffeinated and hydrated all day, which is paramount.

MATCH! is very beneficial because you get to choose who you want to speak to before you even come. MATCH! helped me to organize and prep and gave me a nice place to sit down. I will definitely participate again.

I was impressed by the amount of content here. Without MATCH! there is no way I could have accomplished everything in less than 3 days.

How MATCH! Works?
• MATCH! Elite Attendees are asked to complete a sourcing profile
• Our matchmaking system then works to organically generate vendor recommendations based on their specified product or service offerings
• MATCH! Elites will then decide if they would like to request a meeting with the vendor—the decision to meet is controlled by the attendee
• MATCH! Elites agree to complete five, 20 minute meetings during their time at the event
