Meet the Buyer
Organiser
SMMT runs a number of Meet the Buyer style events, each aimed at helping buyers meet suppliers that fit their particular needs at any point during their purchasing cycle.The events are regularly used by organisations of all shapes and sizes to find new suppliers, connect with old ones or to lay the foundations for future partnerships. SMMT has a strong track record of delivering value through these events to both buyers and suppliers, with events always being oversubscribed.
SMMT’s Meet the Buyer event will be returning for its second edition this year, building on the success of the May event. The event will match automotive buyers with suppliers to develop meaningful business connections during this key period of recovery and transition.
The event will be hosted physically at the Coventry Building Society Arena (formerly Ricoh Arena) on 19 October 2021 (09:00-17:00) – Arena Retail Park, Classic Dr, Coventry, United Kingdom, CV6 6AS. Please note: SMMT is planning to deliver this event as a physical in-person event. SMMT will follow government guidelines on physical event hosting and will have a digital only contingency in place.
