Knowledge Exchange Tables

CSI will be selecting approximately 45 Specifiers, Architects and other 

design professionals and product selection influencers from across the

country to attend the July 2023 Master Specifiers Retreat. Participating with

a Knowledge Exchange Table gets you 13-16 thirty minute one-on-one 

meetings with these professionals, in addition to the excellent networking

opportunities at meals, receptions, etc.  

​

• Architects and Specifiers apply to attend, and you help choose who is invited. Then
  when the top ranked applicants are invited, you get to rank them again to 
  indicate who you want to meet with, and the Architects and Specifiers do the same, 
  and meeting schedules are created based on that feedback.

• You receive 13 to 16 dedicated 30-minute meetings based on your matches

• The small event size (110-120 guests) ensures that you will meet every
  attendee. Networking receptions and dining events are designed for everyone
  to mix and mingle in a safe, friendly and low-stress environment.

​

Table with one attendee: $10,000
