Networking:

The Global Sources Summit is much more than simply the substance. It’s a community that grows as a whole. With this in mind, we prioritize networking alongside learning.

This summit had 12 networking sessions spread out across three days. The networking activities included a networking breakfast buffet, networking intervals between presentations, and a fantastic networking after party.

In addition, we provided an eCommerce bingo game and picture props to enable participants get to know one another. By the end of day three, we had ensured that everyone had come out of their shells.

Sourcing:

One of the most significant advantages of attending Global Sources Summit is that it is co-located with the Global Sources Fashion and Lifestyle trade exhibitions. We provide enough time in our program so that participants may go downstairs and roam around, meeting with thousands of vendors all under one roof.
