The Welcome Kit.

We are not giving you branded pens. The kit contains things that help you do business — not things that prove you attended.

  • The Marketplace PlaybookA physical workbook: pricing for export, the buyer-readiness checklist, and the questions investors will actually ask you.
  • The Delegate DirectoryPrinted and digital. Who is in the room, and how to reach them — shared before the doors open.
  • One good thingA quality notebook you will actually use. One. Not five cheap ones.
  • Partner offersVouchers and discounts from our banking, telco, and logistics partners.
