- Shortlist 20 target exhibitors by technical fit and region.
- Bring physical samples or concise technical sheets in digital form for immediate follow-up.
- Schedule 20-minute meetings with one clear objective per slot: technical validation, commercial terms or pilot arrangements.
- Record a brief note after each meeting and set a one-week follow-up deadline.
These measures help turn fair interactions into concrete business given the decision-maker profile at the show.
