Practical advice for B2B prospecting at the show
-
Target ANSP decision makers and technical leads. With 2,000 ANSP delegates, prioritise meeting requests and prepare technical demos tailored to operational constraints.
-
Focus on operational metrics. Demonstrate improvements in latency, resilience and safety rather than high-level benefits. Bring comparative data that speaks to operations teams.
-
Map your presence to conference themes. Align demos and literature to sessions on digital transformation, AI or sustainability to increase relevance.
-
Prepare international materials. With representation from 145 countries, keep technical documentation in English and flag regional compliance points where relevant.
-
Set a post-show follow-up plan. Schedule concrete next steps during the event to convert meetings into pilot projects or procurement discussions.
