One of the biggest developments for Glee 2024 will be the introduction of Connect @ Glee – the industry’s largest connections programme changing how the garden and outdoor living retail community do business. 

Launching in June 2024, Connect @ Glee is designed to help buyers find the right products and brands their customers will love, and for exhibitors to create leads, orders and opportunities in an incredibly efficient and effective way. Making it easy for everyone to grow their network.

The platform enables suppliers and buyers to request meetings, which are double opt-in, meaning buyers get to meet exhibitors who have the products they want, and exhibitors get to meet buyers they’re interested in; no longer leaving it solely to chance to be approached during the show. 

All Connect @ Glee meetings are scheduled based on mutual availability between both parties, with meetings taking place on the exhibitor’s stand. This means you can take part in as many meetings as you like throughout the day, at the times that suit you and the other party. Plus, with the meetings located at exhibitor stands, buyers get to experience a full range of products in-person, and exhibitors don’t even have to leave their stand. It’s blooming brilliant!

If you’re a supplier, Connect @ Glee enables you to:

• View the profiles of thousands of buyers prior to Glee, so you can proactively select who you want to meet at the show.
• Re-engage with existing contacts to identify new sales opportunities.
• Cultivate new leads, network and do business effectively and efficiently.

Exhibitors at Glee are automatically enrolled in Connect @ Glee. Meetings are scheduled based on mutual interest and availability, meaning you’ll only meet buyers who want to meet you!

If you’re a buyer, you’ll want to take part in Connect @ Glee to:

• Quickly and easily meet the suppliers behind the products your customers will love.
• Find the specific product features and supplier terms that your business needs.
• Discover new suppliers and be inspired by emerging products.

The best part? Buyers participate in Connect @ Glee at no cost. Once you register for your free ticket to Glee 2024 (registration opening date TBC), we’ll be in touch with how to take part…
