What is PSA?

PRE SCHEDULE APPOINTMENT (PSA) is intended to match-make and facilitate one-on-one meetings between exhibitors and qualified buyers on the show floor during the exhibition.

It is a powerful programme that allows exhibitors and qualified buyers to make appointments even before they arrive at the event.

PSA allows exhibitors and qualified buyers to obtain with certainty a specific number of appointments of 15 minutes each over the duration of the exhibition.

PSA will enable both exhibitors and qualified buyers to utilise and manage their time more efficiently, hence ensuring a successful event.

How PSA Works?

Participants have to register and submit their demographics online. Comprehensive information on both the exhibitors and qualified buyers like full contact details, company's profile, products and services providing or interested will be captured into the computer system and make available for all to view.

Two weeks before the exhibition, participants can login and make their selection of organisations they would like to have meeting appointments with and submit their appointment preference. The PSA computerised appointment system will automatically do a matching of the selections submitted and allocate the meeting appointments for both qualified buyers and exhibitors on condition that both have selected each other.

In the event there is no match, the computerised appointment system will post appointment requests on a "Pending List". Participants will review and re-select the pending list to fill up available time slots. When all available appointment slots are taken up, the system will post unsuccessful appointment requests to a "Missed List" where participants can contact directly with via email to make further appointments outside of PSA.

The PSA system allows participants to make changes to their scheduled appointments until the closing date. Thereafter, no more changes can be made. After the closing date, the computerised appointment system will do a final allocation of appointments for those who still have available slots.

More details of how PSA works is available when you are successfully registered as a PSA participant.
