Appointment Scheduling at IPW

Business appointments at IPW are pre-scheduled through the My IPW portal based on international and domestic buyer and exhibitor requests according to a priority matching system.

Manual Scheduling opens after the computer-generated appointment schedules are distributed. Learn more about Appointments below.

How It Works

International meeting and incentive buyers may submit up to 50 appointment requests online about six weeks prior to the trade show.

Once the online appointment requests period closes, system-generated appointment schedules are distributed and manual scheduling opens. You will receive your schedule a few weeks before IPW.

Manual Scheduling

Through the manual scheduling system, you can view and print your appointment schedule; request additional appointments with exhibitors who have similar open appointments; request cancellations; and accept or decline any requests made to you. Please respond promptly to all appointment requests you receive through the manual scheduling system so that your fellow participants can make the most of their schedule.

Manual Scheduling Benefits

Over the course of the three show days, there is the potential for a total of 42 buyer appointments; however, it is possible that a buyer might not receive 42 pre-scheduled appointments through the matching process. The manual scheduling system offers an opportunity to request additional appointments to fill open slots.

 

Hosted Housing

Your registration will not be considered valid and your hotel room will not be covered by U.S. Travel if you do not submit and accept a minimum of 25 appointments.

Payment Policy

Please keep in mind that if you have not paid your registration in full, you will not have access to request appointments, and exhibitors will not be able to request an appointment with you via ipw.com.
