New HDAW 2020 One-on-One Meeting Information

HDAW ’20 One-on-One Meetings are now all located in the Gaylord Texan Convention Center - modular conference rooms are in Longhorn F,  adjacent to the HDAW Product Expo, and in meeting rooms on the third floor directly on the floor above – every element of HDAW is located in the same building – no more navigating a maze of hotel suites, elevators and backdoor staircases.

Also new for One-on-One Meetings this year is the addition of a new meeting matching software tool - MeetMax - providing a user-friendly interface that allows you to select your preferred distributors and rank them according to interest level.

  • Click here for a PDF version of instructions on setting up your account in MeetMax.
  • To view the instructional video, click here.

One-on-One self-scheduling – after the initial distributor/supplier meeting ranking and acceptance is finalized, MeetMax will be opened up in mid-December to allow you to self-schedule your One-on-One Meetings to fill in your open time slots.

All companies must be approved and registered for exhibit space to participate in the One-on-One Meetings.  Companies are limited to a total of three (3) meeting rooms.  If you haven’t received your user name and password by email to register for staff badges and One-on-One Meeting rooms, please contact Sandi Kulas at skulas@wtglasgow.com.

For any questions concerning One-on-One Meeting rooms at the Gaylord or for more information about the MeetMax software, contact Cindy Ganas at 904-737-2900 or email cindy@cvsn.org.
