2 Opal Group SpArc is an invitation-only executive meeting and convenes the heads of specifications from the most active architecture and design firms in the country. Principals and Directors of Specifications are looking to partner with the most innovative solution providers to learn about their products and how they can be applied to their projects. Unlike other industry events, Opal Group SpArc is smaller in nature and allows you the real opportunity to connect with key decision makers that oversee product selection for commercial projects. The intimate size of the program and interactive agenda creates a highly effective channel for you to generate a multitude of new contacts and deepen relationships with existing clients from leading national firms. 2

3 benefits of attending Prescheduled One-to-One Meetings Opal Group SpArc limits the number of solution providers in attendance and the number of companies per category. With a high ratio of attendees to solution providers, you are able to collaborate and network with all attendees over three days. Opal Group SpArc is designed as a high-level educational forum providing architects and specifiers the strategies and solutions to enhance their knowledge on challenging issues and available products in the marketplace. Created as an all-inclusive meeting, Opal Group SpArc is your gateway to have the undivided attention of Principals and Directors of Specifications over three days. This is not your typical convention or tradeshow. Opal Group SpArc provides you the opportunity to have quality, half hour meetings with attendees of your choice. Each participating solution provider will have pre-summit access to our matching software that gives you the time to review the profiles of attendees and select those you would like to meet with. Exclusive Access to Key Decision Makers Opal Group SpArc is an invitation-only meeting for the heads of architecture and specifications. These senior leaders are pre-qualified to attend based on their willingness to establish partnerships with manufacturers that are needed for their current and future projects. Your investment gives you direct contact with decision makers from the most active firms around the country. Exceptional Networking Opportunities We strive to maximize your face-to-face time by providing a multitude of avenues to engage the senior executives in attendance. The agenda incorporates cocktail receptions, prearranged seating of delegates at company tables during dining and a specially selected outing in the city of New Orleans.
