A private B2B meeting series across Europe

CONNECT is a private, hotel-based B2B meeting series with a focus on structured business development. It is not a trade show but a highly curated event that brings together selected brands, distributors, and key retailers from across the European Union.

Who We Are

CONNECT events were created by the team behind some of Europe's most successful trade events. After years of running large-scale expos, we saw the shift: companies no longer wanted massive, noisy public shows. They wanted structure, privacy, and tangible business outcomes.

CONNECT is the answer to that need, a focused, cost-efficient, and sustainable way to expand across Europe through verified access and honest, face-to-face business.

Our mission is simple: fewer distractions, stronger conversations, and measurable ROI for every participating brand and buyer.

The CONNECT Story

We designed CONNECT events with a clear vision: to create a business event format that removes the noise and amplifies real value. Every edition follows a structured, hotel-based model built for productive meetings, verified access, and measurable results.

CONNECT launched in the alternative nicotine sector because the industry needed a compliant, efficient, and safe way to keep trade alive. The same model now expands naturally into other verticals — technology, green energy, wellness, and any sector where trust, regulation, and professionalism matter.

Across all markets and industries, the foundation stays the same: curated attendance, pre-equipped stands, clear schedules, and a business-first environment where every meeting has purpose.

Why CONNECT Works

Traditional expos can be expensive, inefficient, and full of distractions. CONNECT does the opposite. We limit the number of participants, curate the audience, and provide a professional environment where business gets done efficiently.

This format reflects where the industry is heading: verified access, structured meetings, and clear outcomes. When the right people are in the right room, everything else falls into place.

Who Should Attend

Participants (brands)

Brands and manufacturers are looking to expand their distribution network in Europe. Participants get a pre-equipped stand, access to the full B2B program, and a powerful platform to meet new partners.

Invited trade visitors

Distributors, wholesalers, retail chains, franchise owners, and other key buyers from the host country and region. Attendance is by invitation only and free of charge for qualifying businesses.

Our Roadmap in Europe
