Appointment Scheduling

Visit USA Committee delegates and Commercial Service representatives may submit up to 25 requests for appointments with those Exhibitors who have not requested to Opt Out of the Visit USA Committee or Commercial Service Appointments options.

Appointment requests are submitted via powwowonline.com; 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 25 appointments during the official Business Appointments Sessions; however, it is possible that a Visit USA Committee delegate or a Commercial Service representative might not receive 25 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.
