• Appointments will be hosted at Mandarin Oriental Lutetia Paris & Shangri-La Paris.
• Appointments begin at 9:30 AM and end at 5:50 PM, with each appointment lasting 20 minutes.
• The venues will open one hour before the start of the first appointment.

Appointment System

• Appointments are pre-scheduled, guiding Buyers to follow a sequence of tables. Please note that not all Buyers will meet with all Exhibitors.
• Changes to agendas are not permitted.
• No Preference Matching: DUCO focuses on French destinations, and all invited Buyers represent portfolios of high-end clientele aligned with Exhibitors’ target markets.
• DUCO Buyers may attend appointments in pairs, working as a duo. This format accommodates the high demand for top-qualified agents at DUCO and optimizes Exhibitors’ time and investment.
• Participants remain in the same venue throughout the summit (table allocations can be found in the DUCO App under “Exhibitors” – search for company name to find the table number).

Agenda of Appointments Online Access

• Participants will receive their personalized agenda up to one week before the summit via a unique link sent to their registered email.
• The agenda will also be accessible in the DUCO App under “Event Program > My Schedule.”
• Alternatively, the same link will be available in your DUCO App profile under “View Profile.”
• No Printed Files: DUCO does not provide printed agendas.

Missed Appointments

• DUCO takes no-shows very seriously. Missed appointments can result in penalty fees for Buyers.
• Exhibitors can report no-shows on the DUCO App using the “Missed Appointment” icon.

Best Practices Reminders

• Bring enough business cards for all your appointments – they are essential for building connections after DUCO.
• The DUCO App provider does not support exporting contact information to Excel. Participants are encouraged to exchange
  contacts directly during appointments.
• Attendees may not invite unauthorized guests (such as unregistered colleagues, company owners, or spouses) to any DUCO functions.
• Be punctual.
• DUCO is a platform where suppliers invest to showcase their services. Any form of solicitation toward Exhibitors is strictly prohibited.

Important Notes for Exhibitors to Prepare for Appointments

• Storage is not available. DUCO encourages Exhibitors to use digital presentations.
• Electric outlets are not available at the appointment venues. Participants are strongly advised to bring extra batteries or portable
  chargers.
• Complimentary Wi-Fi is provided during appointments. Considering the importance of presentations during meetings, DUCO
  recommends downloading all materials in advance and storing them offline as a precaution.
