Appointment Scheduling

Business appointments at International Pow Wow are pre-scheduled in advance based on International and Domestic Buyer and Exhibitor requests.

Domestic Buyers may submit via powwowonline.com up to 50 appointment requests with Exhibitors who have not chosen to Opt Out of the Domestic Buyer Appointment option. Once the Online Appointment Scheduling period closes, the appointments will be computer-generated according to a priority matching order. You will receive your appointment schedule list a few weeks before International Pow Wow.

Over the course of the three show days, there is the potential for a total of 44 Buyer appointments; however, it is possible that a Buyer might not receive 44 pre-scheduled appointments through the computer-generated matching process. The Manual Scheduling process offers an opportunity to request additional appointments to fill open slots.

Please keep in mind that if you have not paid your 2012 registration in full, you will not have access to request appointments, and U.S. Suppliers will not be able to request an appointment with you via powwwowonline.com. To determine if you have an outstanding balance, log in to powwowonline.com and click on the Pay Invoices button.
