Practical advice for commercial outreach
With 1,000 exhibitors prioritize targets and book meetings in advance. Prepare concise technical demos of 7 to 10 minutes and a one-pager with integration points and customer references. For investor meetings bring clear metrics and a focused raise plan. Use the startup pitch area to fast-track initial diligence and the awards sessions to identify rising companies.
Plan three concrete objectives per meeting and map sessions where target speakers participate to create timely touchpoints. Rehearse pitch transitions to follow-up actions and capture next steps immediately after each conversation.
