HOW TO BE A PARTNER AT CTW

 The Connection Hub is designed to foster dialogue stemming from the Learning Journeys.
Prepare your team for engagement through collaboration and encourage a mindset that’s part of the workplace revitalization!

GET INVOLVED IN THE CONVERSATION

Move beyond just showcasing products. Be ready to discuss with operators how your OCS/Pantry solutions meet new workplace demands.

BE A THOUGHT LEADER

It’s not just about what you sell; it’s about what you know. Be a forward thinker and share insights on trends and innovation related to shifting workplace amenities.

CREATE INTERACTIVE EXPERIENCES

In the spirit of CTW’s reimagined networking experience, your space should encourage attendee participation. Set up opportunities for interactive discussions, hands-on activities or mini-workshops.

FOSTER COLLABORATION

Network with fellow suppliers and attendees alike, finding ways to co-create solutions or work together on new ideas. Be part of the conversation that drives the future of the industry.

FOCUS ON REAL-TIME RESULTS

Don’t wait for post-event follow-up — address challenges and brainstorm solutions on the spot. Use conversations in the Connection Hub to generate immediate outcomes that will advance your business opportunities.
