EVENT DETAILS

1:00pm - 4:00pm EST
All registered MARPA members are eligible

Interested MARPA Members must sign up to participate, following the guidelines below. MARPA will assign matches and schedule meetings for each participant, and will provide schedules in advance of the event. During the session, participating Air Carriers will remain seated at designated tables for all meetings, and participating MARPA member solutions providers will move to each meeting as scheduled for them by MARPA. Each meeting will be timed in equal duration, with time offered between meetings in order for suppliers to move to the next scheduled meeting or to exit.

See below for guidelines and to sign up!
 

WHY SHOULD MARPA AIR CARRIER MEMBERS PARTICIPATE IN THE ONE-ON-ONE MEETINGS?

MARPA will help carrier members facilitate meetings with the solutions providers you need and want to meet with. Meet in an environment where you’re assured you'll spend time with each, to hear how you can best work together. Because suppliers will come to you in this scheduled space, you have the ability to meet with companies you may not usually have the chance to see, bringing new opportunities for both operators and suppliers. Sometimes events can leave you feeling "peopled out", but the MARPA Member to Member Carrier One-on-One Meetings are scheduled with "breathing room" built in between each session to give Carriers a chance to make notes and collect their thoughts. A maximum of two participants per table is requested, but Carrier Members are welcome to request multiple tables to allow for the most impactful session possible. Maybe you have team members coming from different departments, maybe a new employee that you'd like to meet as many suppliers as possible but they aren't sure who to talk to; this is the perfect opportunity!

HOW CAN MARPA MEMBER AIR CARRIERS JOIN ONE-ON-ONES?

1. Register to attend the 2022 MARPA Conference by completing all sections of the registration form, and return the form to MARPA
2. Choose representatives from your MARPA member air carrier to sign up for the session, and determine how many tables your team will need
3. Sign up to participate by October 21st , using the Member Air Carrier form
4. Commit to attending the session and await your schedule via email on Oct 26th


WHY SHOULD MARPA MEMBER SUPPLIERS JOIN ONE-ON-ONES?

MARPA is providing suppliers the chance to meet with customers you currently work with, as well as the as the customers you wish you could work with, all in a structured, comfortable, scheduled environment. Take the opportunity to spend ten minutes with a carrier whose fleet is just right for your parts, who you are sure could use your DER services, or who would benefit from your wealth of knowledge as a consultant. Spend time with your customers before the official Conference kick off, so your solutions to their needs are in mind from the very start of the event. Eliminate the worry that you'll go the whole conference without meeting your customers. Take the opportunity to demonstrate the value of attending the Conference as a MARPA Member to your management before you've even left the office. While the MARPA Member to Member Carrier One-on-One Meetings are new (and we do expect some growing pains), there is clear value to all MARPA Members that attend the session.
