Autumn trade activity concentrates decisions on supplier selection for hotels, restaurants and large-scale catering. For companies that sell into the horeca channel the calendar slot around early October is commercially relevant.
Dates and venue
BBB Maastricht 2027 takes place from 4 to 6 October in Maastricht. The event is hosted at Maastricht Exhibition & Congress Centre - MECC, a venue equipped for trade shows and sector meetings.
Who exhibits at this show
Exhibitors are suppliers to hospitality and catering operations, offering food and beverage lines, professional kitchen equipment and consumables for event catering. The floor mix tends to include manufacturers, distributors and specialist suppliers focused on operational needs of foodservice buyers.
B2B prospecting advice for exhibitors
Target a shortlist of priority accounts and prepare concise commercial packets containing pricing tiers, delivery lead times and food safety credentials. Assign clear roles to stand staff for product demos, order intake and lead qualification. Use QR-linked technical sheets to speed buyer decisions and reduce paper dependency.
Lead capture and follow up
Standardize a digital lead form that records source and product interests and sync it with your CRM. Tag leads by customer type such as hotel, independent restaurant or contract caterer to enable tailored follow up. Plan follow up actions within two weeks including sample shipments or phone briefings to keep discussions moving.
Presenting your offering on the floor
Focus on applied use cases rather than broad statements. Provide shelf life data, allergen information and certifications for food products. For equipment, include energy consumption, footprint and installation requirements to help buyers assess fit quickly.
