LINK Connect (Formerly the Hosted Meetings Program)
LINK Connect is the new name for RILA’s high-impact, 1:1 hosted meetings program—trusted by solution providers to deliver real conversations, real buyers, and real ROI. While the name has changed, the results haven’t.

Each meeting is a guaranteed opportunity to present your solutions to qualified retail and CPG decision-makers who have already expressed interest in speaking with you.

How does it work?
Ahead of LINK2026, your team will receive access to detailed retailer and CPG profiles, allowing you to identify top targets and submit meeting requests. Using our double opt-in system, we’ll match you with decision-makers who’ve also selected your company. Once confirmed, meetings are scheduled and delivered onsite in dedicated LINK Connect time blocks.
Since availability is based on mutual interest and calendar alignment, you will only pay for the meetings we are able to confirm.
LINK Connect is available to both sponsors and non-sponsoring solution providers—and pairs especially well with exhibit space.
