The Manchester Airport Group (MAG) Meet the Buyer event roadshow is coming to East Midlands Airport for the second time in May 2026, after a successful event in 2024 and building on the successes of our sold-out events in Manchester and London Stansted.
​
It will give East Midlands SME businesses a unique opportunity to meet and share your products / services directly with a selection of 25+ supply chain decision-makers from large organisations that are looking to purchase what you supply.
As a result of MAG Meet the Buyer events over £30m+ contracts have been placed with local SME businesses.
