How to prepare the seminar in 3 steps
Step1
Set up your Lagardère Travel Retail Event dashboard
Click on the link in the mail you received to access to your Lagardère Retail Event dashboard.
In this dashboard, you see your profile advancement and you are able to update it.
Step2
Complete your Needl profile
As the Lagardère Travel Retail Global Purchasing Seminar will use your Needl information, you are requested to fill the following parts of your Needl profile:
- Company Profile (1): information about your company
- Export diagnostic (2): information about where you already work (optional)
- Products (3): information about your products.
Depending on the category of the goods you are manufacturing, the method to add your products differs:
You are a FMCG Manufacturer
FMCG products can easily be added on Needl by using the products lists.
If you are producing FMGC products, it’s much better to add as much products as you can by clicking the button “Add a product”.
You are a non-FMCG Manufacturer
Non-FMCG products categories (electronics for exemple) are not covered by Needl yet.
You are then encouraged to add products catalog in PDF format in the marketing assets section of your company profile.
Don't forget you can use Needl all year long to showcase your profile and products to buyers. Plus, if you participate to other events powered by Needl, your profile will already be ready!
Step3
Access to the event portal
In the Event portal you accessed on Step 1, you will find an access to Global Purchasing Seminar which confirms that your participation is ongoing.
You enter the summit by clicking on the button ” Join Summit”.
