The meetings are intended to be question and answer sessions in which neither side will be making a formal presentation.

Any company may request a one-on-one meeting. Meetings will not exceed 25 minutes in length and attendance is limited to four persons. Scheduling of appointment times will be on a first come, first served basis.
