The Procurement Exchange

Your meetings are confirmed before you travel.

The Waste & Resource Recovery Expo adds pre-booked 1-to-1 meetings, inside a full trade floor. You say what you are after, we bring back the meetings that fit it, and you keep the ones worth a place in your day. Operators, councils, engineers, consultants and MRFs across NSW, matched to the suppliers who sell what they are sourcing.

Before the Expo

You say what you are after, we bring back the meetings that fit it, and you keep the ones worth a place in your day. Accepted meetings land in both diaries ahead of the event.

During the Expo

A booked meeting gives you the conversation you came for, and walking the floor turns up plant and suppliers you did not know to look for. Both run across both days, and you decide how much of your time goes to each.

After the Expo

Both sides leave with contact details. Networking continues afterwards on the connexU app.

How it works

Most of the work happens before the Expo opens.

Buyers and exhibitors run the same six steps, from opposite ends.

Step 1 of 6

Register

Register as a trade visitor, or take a stand as an exhibitor. Either way, tailored matchmaking questions ask what you buy or sell, and that is what the matching runs on.

Step 2 of 6

Say what you need

Buyers name the job in front of them: a contract renewal, a kerbside collection change, a FOGO rollout. Exhibitors name the buyers they want to sit down with.

Step 3 of 6

We match

We put the two lists side by side and propose the meetings both sides have a reason to take, matched on the work rather than on job titles.

Step 4 of 6

Your call

Every proposed meeting comes to you first, with who it is with and why we put it forward. Decline the ones that do not fit.

Step 5 of 6

We schedule

Accepted meetings are timetabled around the rest of your day and land in both diaries ahead of the event.

Step 6 of 6

Meet, then follow up

You take your meetings face-to-face at the times you agreed, with the rest of the exhibition around them, and both sides leave with contact details.

The connexU app

connexU has run the meetings programme since 2022.

Ahead of the event we send your login details. You do the rest yourself and in your own time, on a phone in the yard or at a desk between jobs.

AI-powered contact recommendations

Our matchmaking connects you with the right people and helps schedule pre-booked meetings.

Pre-book meetings

Make connections and lock in the meetings you want, as well as accepting the ones we propose.

Personalised agenda

An event agenda and meeting schedule for each member of your team.

Export leads & contact details

Each team member can export their connected contacts and leads after the event.

Badge scanning

Scan badges of buyers and exhibitors to build your own event contact list.

The point of the meeting

Both sides asked for it before it was booked.

If you are buying

Every meeting on your list is one you chose, with a supplier who has already seen the job you described. The day out of the depot or the office comes back with a shortlist, drawn from 80+ exhibitors.

01

If you are selling

A qualified, senior audience, with 250+ public sector buyers among them. Named organisations in your diary before you pack the van, and a team that knows what each of them is working on.

02

Either way

A full trade exhibition around the meetings, with the plant on the expo floor and the people who sell it standing beside it.
