Meeting Exchanges

Secure your ticket today to get access to Meeting Exchanges.

Meeting Exchanges are CIX’s popular one-on-one, pre-arranged meetings between early/growth-stage entrepreneurs and leading North American investors who are the hosts. These face-to-face meetings are valuable for advice, building a relationship and potential funding/partnership.

Specifically designed to be three 8-minute time slots, with a two-minute transition time between meetings, CIX Meeting Exchanges have facilitated thousands of partnerships and led to millions of dollars in financing.

The platform to book these meetings will open three weeks before CIX. Please note that space is limited and is available on a first-come, first-served basis. A total of THREE Meeting Exchange spots can be reserved in advance, and you may also participate in additional meetings onsite by joining the waiting line based on the availability of investor hosts.
