Buying on Event Technology Portal

Event Technology Portal is a B2B marketplace built exclusively for the events industry. We connect buyers with verified manufacturers and suppliers of professional event equipment worldwide — and we sit in the middle of every transaction to make sure it goes smoothly.

Two types of products

Ready-to-buy products

Curated off-the-shelf products available for immediate purchase. Add to cart, pay securely through our platform, and your order is placed. All ready-to-buy purchases are covered by our buyer protection.

Quote-to-order products

For professional-grade event equipment, the right approach is always a proper quote. These products go through our quote-to-order process, described below.

How the quote-to-order process works

Browse and discover — Search by category, technology type, or application. Every product page includes full specifications and supplier information.
Add to quote — Add one or more products to your quote cart. You can include items from multiple suppliers in one request.
Submit your requirements — Tell us your quantities, event date, delivery location, and any specific configuration needs. A free account is required to submit.
We respond with a quote — Our team reviews your requirements, liaises with the relevant supplier, and sends you a confirmed quote. You deal with us — not the supplier directly.
Review and accept — Review the quote at your own pace. If you have questions, contact us and we will clarify before you commit.
Invoice issued — Once you accept the quote, we issue you a formal invoice. Payment is made against that invoice.
Pay securely through our platform — All payments go to Event Technology Portal via PayPal. Your funds are held securely until your order is fulfilled.
We coordinate fulfilment — We confirm the order and coordinate delivery to your location. We keep you updated throughout.
Funds released on confirmation — Once your order is dispatched and confirmed, we complete the process. If anything goes wrong at any stage, your payment is protected.

Your payment is held by us at every stage. You never pay a supplier directly — this is how we protect every buyer on the platform.

Why source from Event Technology Portal

We are your single point of contact

You deal with one team — ours. No chasing multiple suppliers, no managing separate invoices, no difficult conversations about delivery or faults. Submit your requirements once and we manage everything from quote to delivery.

Your payment is always protected

Every payment goes through our secure platform. Funds are held until your order is fulfilled. If something goes wrong, we step in. This is built into how we operate, not an afterthought.

Verified suppliers only

Every supplier on our platform has been reviewed before they can list products. You are never dealing with an anonymous seller. We know who our suppliers are and hold them to our standards.

Built for the events industry

Every product on our platform is relevant to event professionals — AV, lighting, staging, registration technology, interpretation systems, rigging, and more. No irrelevant consumer products to wade through.

Competitive pricing

Our supplier network spans Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and the Americas. For many product categories, prices are significantly below typical European or US market rates.

Editorial expertise

Event Technology Portal has been a trusted editorial resource for the global events industry for years — covering product launches, technology reviews, and real-world case studies. The marketplace is built on that foundation.

No buyer platform fees

There are no subscription fees or platform charges for buyers submitting quote requests. You pay only what is quoted for the equipment.
