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.
Meetings & Scheduling
Q: Do I need to schedule my own meetings?
A: No. Levin Consulting will set your schedule prior to the vent. Vendors are matched with buyers whose purchasing categories align with selected product category mix.
Q: How many meetings should I expect?
A: Each participating vendor receives a curated schedule of pre-arranged meetings based on their participation package level, product fit, and category alignment.
Q: Can I request meetings with specific retailers or brands?
A: We’ll do our best to accommodate requests on a case-by-case basis by working meetings into your schedule or facilitating informal connections during networking times.
Q: What happens if a buyer does not show up to the pre-scheduled meeting?
A: If a buyer misses a meeting, our team works with you onsite to reschedule. We actively monitor attendance to ensure you receive the time and opportunities promised.
Shipping, Materials & Setup
Q: Can I ship product samples, demos, or display materials to the event?
A: Yes. Shipping instructions and handling guidelines will be provided in your exhibitor guidelines.

Q: What are some best practices to engage with retailers after the event?
A: Follow up within a few days with a short recap email. Include a one-page overview, pricing, and clear next steps. Keep communication simple and actionable—buyers respond best to concise follow-up.
Q: What if the retailer does not reply to my calls or emails after the event?
