Sponsors FAQ's

Why is Business Facilities LiveXchange held at a relatively remote location?		Staying at a relatively remote location takes attendees away from the hectic world of the office and allows everyone to think strategically and conduct meetings in a focused, business-like environment. There are no exhibition stands or product demonstrations in the meeting areas, no interruptions and, of course, no long-distance traveling between appointments.

What is the accommodation like?		All participants are allocated sole occupancy hotel rooms with en-suite facilities.

Are spouses / partners invited?		*Business Facilities* LiveXchange has been designed to maximize your time in a professional environment throughout the day. Each element of the event, including one-to-one meetings, golf tournaments, sessions, receptions and meals, are pre-set appointments open only to delegates and sponsors. Spouses are strongly discouraged from attending as they will be unable to participate in any of the scheduled events. If your spouse does decide to come to Houston, any hotel surcharges which may apply will be your responsibility. The Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach Resort & Spa offers a number of restaurants and activities which your spouse may visit during the event. Spouses will need to make their own arrangements at their own expense.

How much does it cost?		The sponsor companies fund the event. Prices are available on request. For more details please contact Jim Semple, National Sales Manager at *Business Facilities* on 732 842 7433 ex 239 or jsemple@groupc.com. Delegates attend free of charge.

What happens if I cancel?		If a sponsor company cancels they will be subject to the terms of the cancellation clause in our Terms & Conditions (attached to the booking form).

What happens if a delegate cancels?		If a delegate cancels on or after July 14, 2008 there is a cancellation fee of $1000. This is structured to ensure that delegates are committed to the selection process and to ensure that they are not holding a place open that they do not intend to take. We anticipate the demand for places to be greater than we can accommodate and any cancellations will deprive another corporate executive of the potential opportunity to attend. Secondly, once the appointment system goes live your cancellation affects others at the forum and we are keen to limit this disruption.

Is there a dress code?		The event is business casual during the day and evening.

How do I select the meetings I wish to be scheduled into my itinerary?		You will receive information on each participating delegate with detailed information about their projects before the event. You will read through the information and rate the executives according to how strongly you would like to meet each one. Each executive has indicated which locations they are most willing to consider; if your location is not on the list for a particular executive, it is still is possible in many cases to arrange a meeting.

Will I have time to prepare for my meetings?		You will receive a customized itinerary from the Business Facilities LiveXchange matching system one week prior to the event. We will take what you�ve told us about the attending delegates you�d like to meet, and set up meetings for you to get to know them.
