First Time at the Summit?
new attendee guide
Everything you need to know to make the most of your first Global Launch Summit — from why you're here to what to bring.
Why the Summit
This is where
global deals start.
The Global Launch Summit is not a tradeshow. There's no walk-the-floor dynamic where you wait for traffic to pass a booth. Every person in the room is there specifically to build partnerships that move product into international markets.
Whether you're a brand looking to expand into new territories, a distributor looking for your next product line, or a media buyer looking for DTC clients — this room is full of the people you need to meet.
Three days in Las Vegas can open channels that take years to find through traditional means. The companies in this room represent 50+ countries across every major global market.
Your Market
Whether you're a US brand going global or an international distributor looking for US products, the summit brings both sides together in one room.
Real Deals
Attendees come prepared to do business. The networking breakfasts, lunches, and evening events are where introductions turn into agreements.
Expert Panels
Sessions are led by practitioners — not consultants. The people on stage are actively running global businesses and sharing what's actually working.
Private Meetings
Dedicated meeting rooms are available to schedule private one-on-one time with prospective partners away from the showfloor.
First Timers
There's a dedicated First Timer Business Speed Dating session specifically designed to connect new attendees with established industry players quickly.

Come with a clear ask

02
Register for First Timer Events
These sessions are built specifically for you. It's structured, fast, and gets you in front of a wide range of attendees in a short time.
03
Book private meetings in advance
If there are specific companies you want to meet, reach out before the event to schedule time.

Watch the panel sessions
Sessions are led by people actively running global businesses. Use the session as context for the conversation you want to have afterward with the speakers.
