Why RCubed Recommends FMA Summits

RCubed came to FMA to have real strategic conversations with buyers, not to collect a pile of business cards that no one remembers. In his FMA Summits review, Matthew highlights how the intimate size and curated format changed the quality of his interactions.

Intimate format

Quality over quantity

Fewer people than a huge trade show, but a much higher percentage of meaningful one on one contacts.

One on one meetings

30 minute sessions

FMA sets up thirty minute meetings with companies that want to talk so vendors can go deep.

Memorable conversations

Follow ups already booked

Matthew notes that he already has follow up scheduled and that people will remember meeting him.

Superior exhibition quality

Better than other shows

He calls the quality level superior to other exhibitions and plans to attend the next summit.

What Matthew Says About The Format

“The thing that resonated with me is that it is a very intimate event. As a vendor, it meant I could have more one on one contacts with meaningful discussions instead of shotgunning a hundred people a day.”

“Even though it may be a smaller amount, it is a more efficient way. The quality of the conversations is high and I already have follow up scheduled. In this kind of intimate scenario, they are not going to say I do not remember meeting this person.”

“At other trade shows it is a slog and a hustle when you are trying to meet a hundred people a day. No one remembers anyone, all the booths blur and they are all the same. This format is really intriguing. It was my first experience with it and I think it is the right way to do it.”

“The organization sets up meetings for you, with companies that are interested to talk to you, and you also give them a list of companies you want to talk to. Having that in an informal luncheon format, at your own table, lets you break bread and have deeper conversations, not just surface level small talk.”

For vendors who are tired of huge expo floors where nobody remembers anyone, this RCubed review shows how FMA Summits uses curated meetings and hosted tables to force useful interaction and avoid the typical big show noise.
