Buyer Testimonials:
"My experience at Match was extremely beneficial. As a first time matcher I did not know what to expect. The Sipco team did a fantastic job organizing everything, from travel arrangements, hotel accommodations, down to the welcome gifts. The Match vendors were all very knowledgeable about their products and enthusiastic about the event. It was great to mingle on a more casual forum versus the larger shows which can be impersonal. All of the events were well organized and thoughtfully executed by the talented Sipco team. I really enjoyed the Match meetings as well as the events, from pizza making to karaoke. The event was well worth the time and I would definitely attend again."

"I had a great time at Match in Pasadena. I really enjoyed meeting vendors one-on-one and be able to dive into their products and establish a personal relationship with them. It also gave me a chance to ask that technical question I never get to ask or be creative directly with the vendor about their product. Add to that a beautiful location and a fun social program and it made it very easy to enjoy this adventure."

"I met some new vendors and I also had the opportunity to develop better relationships with vendors that I already knew."

"Overall, I must admit, I had a very good time and met people that I am sure to keep in contact with. It was beneficial to make new connections with knowledgeable peers whom I can call on for industry related questions. It was also very important to be amongst leaders in hospitality. Hospitality Match is a new event that has a lot of potential to grow into a greater networking forum."

"It was my first Match, so the education and concept was well received. I met with companies that will change how I design my product going forward. There are myriad companies out there, so it is great to have this personalized one-to-one audience to get to learn about product firsthand."

"I found Match to be very informative and helpful on many levels. Meeting with the manufactures in such a condensed one-on-one manner, gives me insight into who they are, what they are about and if I think they are a good fit for how we do business. As a principle, I rarely meet with reps in house any longer so it keeps me up to date on product as well as sources."

"I found that the conference was a great way to meet new suppliers as well as reconnect with ones that I had already been in contact with. It was a fantastic experience from the seminars, to the one-on-one meetings to the team building activities planned."
