Preparing B2B prospecting at Battery Recycling Expo 2026
Set clear targets by supplier category before you go. Use the exhibitor list to shortlist process providers and equipment vendors that match your technical requirements and arrange stand meetings in advance. Bring concise technical briefs and procurement criteria to speed technical assessment at stand level. Use conference sessions to frame commercial discussions around regulatory drivers and technological constraints.
Exhibitors should prioritise stand design and meeting slots given the high uptake of floor space. Technical visitors gain the most by pre-mapping suppliers and allocating time for head-to-head comparisons across stands in the two-day window.
