3. The Business Exchange begins promptly at 9 am. A schedule of meeting times is available inside the booklet. As we are on a regimented schedule, please arrive PROMPTLY at your meeting time. If you are late to your meeting, your time will not be extended to make up for that missed time.
4. The first 10 rotations have been pre-scheduled according to your requests as well as the requests from participating property owners and management companies indicating which products and services they are planning to invest in during 2023 and 2024. Every effort was made to match you up to your Meeting Ranking Sheet.
5. Each meeting gives you five (5) minutes to speak with the owner or management company at their designated booth during your pre-assigned meeting time. If you go to the wrong meeting at the wrong time, you may be asked to return at your scheduled time. If you miss your pre-scheduled meeting completely, we will not be able to reschedule. You may try again during the open rotations.
6. When the pre-scheduled meeting rotations are over, you are free to move around the room to meet with any company that you did not have a scheduled meeting. Some companies may have lines. Please be aware that some lines may be longer than others so use your time to your advantage.
7. Please note that you may not have the opportunity to meet all participating management companies. This is dependent upon the total number of participating management companies and the total number of participating associate members.
8. GCNKAA Staff will keep track of time and announce when meetings end and attendees should get ready to rotate to their next meeting. Please do not overstay your meeting time as this will interfere with other meeting schedules. Participating property owners and management companies have been asked to assist GCNKAA staff in keeping on schedule by facilitating any removal of associate members that overstay their meeting.
9. There are no breaks between rotations. However, if you do not have a pre-scheduled meeting during a specific timeframe, please feel free to relax or get ready for your next scheduled meeting. Once the pre-scheduled rotations are complete, we ask attendees to form orderly lines to meet with the participating management companies.
10. Several participating property owners and management companies have donated gift cards to local restaurants and retail facilities. Door prizes will be drawn during the Exchange and winners will be posted after the pre-scheduled meetings conclude. Please be sure to check the winner boards to see if you won. Gift cards can be claimed at the podium area.
11. Please be sure to minimize distractions while in your meetings as much as possible. Be prepared for your meeting!
12. There are 10 pre-scheduled rotations during this event. Every effort was made to match you up to your Meeting Ranking Sheet. Due to the total of attendees, you each have approximately 4 to 5 rotations scheduled.
