    Have you surveyed your sellers to determine what qualifications they are looking for? Are there a list of prospective leads they'd ideally wish to meet with at the trade show? From the buyers perspective, what's the benefit to them attending the show?

    What kinds of products/services do your prospective sellers offer? Who are their target buyers? Your strategy for qualifying buyers will depend somewhat on the industry and product/service category.

    Why/how will you be any better/more effective at qualifying buyers than your sellers are on their own? In a way, your premise looks like a solution in search of a problem. Or do I not understand the situation?

    What is the economic value of a qualified buyer (for YOU)? How large a budget would you be willing to commit for, say, 100 qualified buyers?
