Networking is essential for your career
Foam Expo provides a platform for forging new connections, sharing ideas, and cultivating lasting relationships, all of which can translate into valuable business successes. As Pietro Marchetti, Marketing & Sales Manager at Fema Industry, affirms, "This is an important Expo because in the USA there is no exhibition quite like Foam Expo that represents all of the companies in the foam industry. It is an amazing place for business." It's no wonder that 89% of our visitors attend the event to engage with exhibitors, explore new products, and connect with suppliers. To further enhance your networking experience, we are delighted to offer you additional networking opportunities, completely free of charge, including two receptions on both day one and day two.

The B2B meeting platform
This is your opportunity to book bespoke, face-to-face meetings, resulting in hundreds of new industry contacts and potential partnerships. The B2B meeting platform is an online platform where you can pre-book one-to-one meetings on the show floor with new prospective clients, partners, and industry suppliers. The service is completely free to all attendees with your all-access event pass. Jacob Underwood, Head of Machine Sales & Marketing at Newtown, echoes the importance of face-to-face interactions in the trade show industry, stating, "I've always been a strong believer in trade shows as it's great to get the product in front of someone. It makes a lot more sense if they can see it in person as ultimately, it gives the customer a better experience."
This is only available to pre-registered attendees and will be live in Summer 2024.
