Table
The dinner and everything that turns it into intelligence.
CES 2027 · 12 seats per dinner
Turn your trade show spend into pipeline you can defend.
Meridain hosts private executive dinners at major trade shows. Each one seats the ten to twelve buyers you most want to move around one moderated question, then turns the conversation into intelligence your board will read.

Why a dinner
Your booth produces leads. Our table produces pipeline.
A booth meets whoever walks by. A hospitality suite hosts whoever shows up. Neither tells you why your best prospects have not signed.
CFOs now ask for pipeline math, not badge scans. Senior buyers are pitched all day and eat on expense every night, yet they still say yes to a real room with peers worth an evening. Meridain puts your named target buyers at one table, asks them the question your team needs answered, and hands you what they said in writing.
The dinner is the delivery mechanism. The product is pipeline you can defend upstairs.
How it works
Four steps from show budget to board-ready intelligence.
The interviews
Before the show, we interview executives who fit your buyer profile. What they say shapes one sharp question for the table.
The table
Your ten to twelve target buyers, a private room, a moderator and two hours. Your team hosts. Nobody pitches.
The Brief
The headline themes within 24 hours, while your team is still on the show floor.
The Report
Within 7 business days: what your buyers said, what it means for your pipeline and the next moves to make.
Where we sit
Built around your pipeline, not the show calendar.
Roundtable networks fill seats across many hosts. Meridain builds every table around one sponsor’s pipeline at one show.
| Compare | Booth | Hospitality suite | Roundtable networks | Meridain |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Who you meet | Whoever walks by | Whoever shows up | Curated peers on a set topic | Your named target buyers |
| What you leave with | Badge scans | Goodwill | Contacts and a summary | The Brief, the Report and a pipeline plan |
| Built around | Your product | Your hospitality | The network’s calendar | Your pipeline |
