All attendees must adhere to the 20-minute virtual appointment duration to ensure equal meeting time with trading partners. There will a ten-minute break between appointments. To take full advantage of each appointment, it is recommended you bring an agenda to help drive your discussions, come fully prepared and invite the right people. In the event that you are unable to keep an appointment, as a courtesy to your trading partner, contact that person so that he or she can effectively use the open appointment time.

HDA manufacturer members with five or more attendees may have multiple teams participate in the one-on-one business appointments. Each team will have a unique team name or topic and will be available in PartnerLinx 2.0. The additional teams will be managed by HDA.
