CIFF partner Kingpin: Helping brands turn CIFF into more buyer meetings
This season, CIFF welcomes a new partner: Kingpin, an AI platform designed to help fashion brands get more meetings with the right buyers and keep momentum going after the event.
Kingpin will be present at CIFF to connect with brands and retailers who want a faster way to identify best-fit stockists, reach out with context, and stay organised through the follow-up process.
We had a chat with Harsh Sajnani, Co-founder at Kingpin, to hear why they’re partnering with CIFF and what they’re most excited to support brands with this season.
What’s the biggest opportunity brands should focus on at CIFF?
CIFF is where the industry shows up, and that’s powerful. The real advantage is using that moment to get more buyer meetings with the right fit, not just more conversations. When your time on the floor is limited, being intentional about who you want to meet makes all the difference.
Why is Kingpin a natural fit for CIFF?
CIFF already creates the perfect environment for connection. Kingpin helps brands make that connection more actionable by helping them identify priority buyers ahead of time, reach out quickly with context, and keep everything organized so conversations don’t get lost post-show.
What do you hope brands take away from the partnership?
More meetings, better fit, and stronger continuity. Even a few additional qualified buyer conversations can change the outcome of a trade show. Our goal is to help brands walk away with a pipeline they can actually execute on after CIFF.
CIFF brings the right people together. With Kingpin, we want to help brands turn that access into real buyer meetings and carry those relationships forward after the fair.
