General Event FAQs
Q: What is Tech Connect LIVE?
A: Tech Connect LIVE is a fast, focused, appointment-based event designed to connect consumer technology brands with top retail and distribution buyers. Instead of walking a large trade show floor, participants have pre-scheduled, strategic meetings to accelerate partnerships and drive revenue.
Q: Who attends?
A: Consumer tech manufacturers, distributors, and technology brands looking to expand into retail channels, and retail buyers, category managers, and decision-makers from retailers and distributors from throughout the US, Canada, Central and South America, PLUS buyers from Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Australia/New Zealand, and more.
Q: How is this event different from other trade shows, like CES or IFA?
A: Tech Connect LIVE is focused on business, not booth traffic. Meetings are pre-scheduled with qualified buyers who are looking to discover new products. No massive halls, wandering crowds, or guesswork—just focused, productive conversations.
