    Can Buyers bring more than one delegate?

    More than one representative per Buyer organization may be allowed to attend provided the second representative is a qualified buyer and their attendance is approved by the CWM Partners. Where two delegates are accepted, each buyer delegate will be required to take their own set of appointments.



    Do I need to inform the CWM Secretariat of a delegate change? What is the procedure to do this?

    Yes, the CWM Housing & Registration Coordinator needs to be advised of any delegate change prior to the event.  Please send an email detailing the delegate change to:  Register@canadaswestmarketplace.com.



    Can an Additional Seller Delegate from our company attend the appointment sessions with me on the Marketplace floor?

    Only delegates with a Seller Disk will be allowed on the Marketplace floor.

    The number of seller disks an organization receives is as follows:

     

        (1)     One Appointment Schedule:  This includes registration for one delegate for that specific company, one Seller Disk, and access to all hosted meals and functions. Only one delegate will be allowed on the Marketplace floor at any given time.

     

        (2)     Two Appointment Schedules:  This includes registration for two delegates, two Seller Disks and access to all hosted meals and functions and the Marketplace floor for each delegate.

     

    All seller organizations may register an additional delegate.  This extra delegate fee includes access to all hosted meals and functions, and the delegate lounge. Extra delegates WILL NOT be provided with a Seller Disk.



    Can a non-delegate attend the scheduled CWM events as a guest?

    Depending on registration numbers, non-delegate guests may be able to purchase a ticket to attend the CWM Dinner & Dance on Tuesday, November 27th.  The cost per ticket is $200 plus applicable taxes.  If you wish to purchase a ticket please contact the CWM Secretariat to place your name on the waiting list.  All other events and functions are available only to registered CWM delegates.



    TECHNOLOGY QUESTIONS:
    What is a CWM Seller E-Profile?

    The CWM Seller E-Profile is an electronic profile for all sellers that is used on-site and is an additional opportunity for sellers to maximize business opportunities.  All Buyers, CTC, Airline and CWM Partner Overseas Representatives will have a computer terminal at their booth with easy access to the Seller E-Profiles during appointments.  Delegates will be able to quickly link to the Seller's website and other attachments included with the Seller E-Profile.



    When is the CWM E-Message Centre available for use?
    The CWM E-Message Centre will be available for use in early August until mid-November and will be available again on-site during the trade show.  


    Can I send e-mails to external e-mail addresses from the CWM E-Message Centre?

    External e-mail addresses cannot be used with the CWM E-Message Centre.  There are a number of computers provided in the delegate lounger and cyber-cafe for this use.
