Business, recognition and relationships
Annual dealer conventions, distributor meets and franchise summits — commercial content, awards, hospitality and several hundred partners travelling from everywhere.
The format
A dealer meet does three things at once: it delivers the year’s commercial message, it recognises the people who performed, and it gives the channel enough face time with your leadership to be worth their trip.
The operational shape is regional travel from many cities, mixed seniority, partners who often bring a spouse, and an awards evening that carries most of the emotional weight. We plan all three together.
Partners come from many origin cities, often on short notice and with changing head counts. A managed travel desk grouping by departure city controls the cost and gives you arrival waves you can plan the ground around.
Channel audiences are commercially sharp and quickly bored. Margin, product roadmap, marketing support and what changes for them — delivered directly and early, then time for questions that get real answers.
Award categories ordered by weight, films that name people rather than territories, the trophy spelled correctly and the walk-on rehearsed. This is the evening the room will talk about for a year.
Partner programmes, room types, activity choice and pacing all shift when spouses travel. Decide it early — it moves the per-head number materially.
Where it goes wrong
Every format has a small set of recurring failures. None of them are mysterious; they are just the things that get planned last and matter most.
Head counts moving in the last fortnight, after rooming is locked
Award categories that reward the same three dealers every year
Gala seating plans made without knowing who does not sit together
Gifting that clears customs in one market and not the next
