The offer spans practical building services to energy modernization advice.
Program highlights and forums
Several program elements provide technical depth and lead generation opportunities.
Forum Wohnen & Energie
This forum addresses practical approaches to energy-efficient renovation and Altbaumodernisierung from roof to basement. The Klimaschutzagentur Region Hannover contributes guidance on measures homeowners can apply to reduce energy use.
Garten-Forum and garden advisory
The GARTEN area features themed display gardens, the Garten-Forum with talks for hobby gardeners and a garden advisory service from the Verband Wohneigentum Niedersachsen e.V., focused on hands-on care and design tips.
How to approach B2B prospecting at the B.I.G. 2026
Structure your plan in three steps. First map the halls to match product categories, using Halle 23 for interior projects and Halle 22 for outdoor offers. Second bring decision-ready materials such as visual portfolios, installation timelines and clear cost ranges. Third prebook stand meetings and reserve short consultation slots for quick technical assessments.
Operational tips
- Use the exhibitor and product search to shortlist targets in advance.
- Prepare contact sheets with priority criteria: homeowner versus trade client, project scope and budget range.
- Offer short on-stand consultations of 10 to 15 minutes on feasibility and energy savings to convert interest into qualified opportunities.
Practical advice for professional visitors
Arrive with a zone-specific agenda and materials that allow you to produce quotes within 48 hours. Use the Forum Wohnen & Energie to validate technical claims on renovation projects and the Garten-Forum to pinpoint seasonal needs that drive add-on sales.
