2023 MARPA EMEA Conference
MARPA Member to Member Carrier 1:1 Meetings

MARPA will be hosting an afternoon session of facilitated meetings between MARPA member suppliers and air carriers during the 2023 MARPA EMEA Conference in London, UK on Thursday, May 25th at the DoubleTree by Hilton London Docklands-Riverside. Participating air carriers will be provided a schedule in advance for a session of roundtable-style designated meetings with participating suppliers, facilitated and scheduled by MARPA. Sign-up is now closed for the session.

During this MARPA members-only session, operators and solutions providers who sign up to participate are scheduled by MARPA to meet with one another in a roundtable session facilitated by MARPA. Participants have the opportunity to have time scheduled with their customers and suppliers during the event, to keep solutions to their needs in mind from the very start. For both, it eliminates the worry that they’ll go the whole conference without meeting the person they came to see.

EVENT DETAILS
Thursday May 25, 2022 from 1:30pm - 4:30pm
All MARPA members registered for the event can sign up in advance. Participation is limited to those who signed up by May 12th. MARPA schedules meetings during the session for each member and has provided schedules to all participants via email. Meetings are held in a roundtable style session, meaning operators will remain seated at designated tables for all meetings and suppliers will move to each scheduled meeting.

WHY SHOULD MARPA AIR CARRIER MEMBERS PARTICIPATE IN THE ONE-ON-ONE MEETINGS?
MARPA will schedule meetings for you with the solutions providers you need and want to meet with. You'll be able to demonstrate to your management that you have meetings on the books with solutions providers assured you'll spend time with each without interruption. Meet suppliers that are new to you or that you may not usually have the chance to see to bring new opportunities for you both. Sometimes events can leave you feeling "peopled out", but your meeting schedule will include "breathing room" built in between each session to give you a chance to make notes and collect your thoughts. A maximum of two participants per table is requested, though operators can reserve multiple tables to allow for the most impactful session possible and have all of your team participate. This is the perfect opportunity to introduce a new employee to your suppliers! It's also a chance to have team members from different departments split their tables to meet with more suppliers and focus on their specific needs.

Since all qualified air carriers receive complimentary membership for registering to attend the EMEA Conference, all operators attending are MARPA members in good standing. Supplier, DER, corporate, and associate members should contact MARPA with any questions about their company's standing.

WHY SHOULD MARPA MEMBER SUPPLIERS JOIN ONE-ON-ONES?
Take the chance to meet with current customers and those you wish were your customers, in a low-stress environment where MARPA does the legwork of scheduling for you. Spend a meeting timeslot with a carrier whose fleet is just right for your parts, who you are sure could use your DER services, or who would benefit from your wealth of knowledge as a consultant. Say hello your customers early in the Conference and be ready to answer their questions about your offerings during your scheduled one-on-one time. Eliminate the worry that you'll go the whole conference without meeting your customers. Demonstrate the value of attending the Conference as a MARPA Member to your management. Even one sale can cover your travel costs to the event and then some; there is clear value to all MARPA Members that attend the session.
