Official materials reference the 10–18 October timeframe, the Flanders Expo location and a presence of 320 plus qualified distributors. These elements help vendors and buyers plan multi-day visits to cover product categories relevant to energy efficiency and interior refurbishment.
How to prepare B2B outreach for BILT Gent
- Prioritize targets. Build a shortlist from the exhibitor list focusing on installers, regional distributors and retail chains that handle kitchens, bathrooms and insulation.
- Bring technical dossiers and case studies. Distributors value performance data, certifications and real installation cases over generic marketing.
- Prepare physical samples and short demos. Materials and finishes benefit from tactile inspection; demos should highlight installation time and energy performance.
- Schedule meetings in advance. Early time slots reduce overlap and allow follow-up after initial walkthroughs.
- Keep messages concise. Emphasize energy performance, installation requirements and after-sales support to accelerate distributor evaluation.
Why this matters for suppliers
The transition to the BILT identity seeks continuity of the regional fair while extending visibility through an online network. For suppliers aiming at the Flemish renovation market, the Ghent event concentrates a significant number of local distributors and trade buyers focused on retrofit and energy solutions.
