Please ensure your ASF profile is up-to-date and as accurate as possible. This information will be used by the buyers to choose which suppliers to meet, so ensure your Meet the Buyer profile stands out.

Please do the following:

• Select which buyer companies you would like to meet with
• Attach yourself to the product categories which you can supply

These product categories will be updated with buyer companies as they are added to the event. The commodities requested by buyers will be announced in April 2025, following this all commodities will be added to the product categories list in ASF and available to link to.

During the matching period, buyers will review all suppliers who have expressed interest and select suppliers of interest to meet with. If successful, you will receive an email notification via ASF of the buyer company and the meeting time, you must then accept or decline the meeting. All requests automatically expire after 5 days if not accepted.

All attending companies can request an on-the-day meeting with each of the buyer companies. Once at the event, there will be a QR code available to submit your company for on-the-day meetings, if successful you will be contacted by phone by 2:30pm to confirm.
