How to prepare B2B prospecting at DACH+HOLZ International 2026
- Segment targets by technical need. Use the GHM Ausstellerverzeichnis exhibitor directory to identify waterproofing membrane suppliers, insulation manufacturers and hardware providers. Prioritize contacts and set meeting times.
- Schedule key demos. Workspace areas and live assemblies provide direct insight into installation and performance. Reserve time to attend these demos to shape technical questions.
- Capture installation details. Photograph connection points, product labels and technical sheets for post-show evaluation.
- Bring technical staff. For complex systems, include installers or project managers to resolve compatibility and execution questions on the spot.
- Scan the Start-up area for component-level innovations that can shorten installation times or reduce material costs.
Favor short meetings with clear objectives such as obtaining a technical sheet, arranging a pilot test or comparing warranty conditions rather than unfocused networking.
What to prioritize at Messe Stuttgart
If your work involves water management or green roofs, plan visits to the Workspace Retentionsdach. Compare membrane products and installation methods in live demonstrations to assess performance claims. The blend of practical workspaces and innovation zones makes it possible to benchmark traditional techniques against digital and material advances.
