BRING JOBS AND INVESTMENT

TO YOUR COMMUNITY

“LiveXchange gives us the opportunity

to meet with people one-on-one, unlike

in a big-market setting where you’re

dealing with thousands of people and

you hope to bump into people who will

bring you business.”– Vice President, Regional Growth Partnership (Ohio)

“The quality of the folks I’m meeting

with, from the companies to the

consultants, have a genuine interest in

the region that I represent. This has

been very worthwhile and I’m sure

I’ll get a real ROI.”– Vice President, Business Investment,

Pittsburgh Regional Alliance

“I have 13 appointments over two days

which is a fantastic opportunity to

get one-on-one in front of companies

and site consultants that have

active projects.”– Director, Piedmont Triad Partnership

THE QUALIFICATION PROCESSEvery delegate who applies to attend LiveXchange is required to present their project plans to us. We carefullyreview and only invite those delegates whose projects meetour strict criteria:

• Must be responsible for the organizations’ relocation or expansion plans

• Currently conducting or about to start a preliminarysearch

• Plan to make the final decision of where to expand/relocate within the next three years

• The project will result in at least one of the followingover the next three years:– 40 full-time jobs (or equivalent) created– $1 million in payroll, including health and retirement benefits

– $2 million in capital investment

ROI FOR SPONSORING ORGANIZATIONS• Each sponsor selects which delegates he or she wishesto meet with using comprehensive delegate profiles.

• All meetings are driven by the delegate, and no corporate delegate is placed in a meeting he or she hasn’t specifically approved or requested. This ensuresan interested prospect in all business meetings.

• Sponsors can request additional meetings on-site.

• All sponsors receive their itinerary one week prior to theevent, enabling you to prepare for each meeting inadvance.
