Actionable advice for B2B prospecting at Emaf 2027
- Screen the exhibitor list in advance to target stands with matching technical capabilities. Prepare concise technical briefs that outline production requirements to share with suppliers.
- Request demos and allocate time slots for on-stand trials. Seeing equipment operate under load clarifies performance claims.
- Schedule meetings ahead of arrival to secure slots with key suppliers and technical teams. Four focused meetings per day are realistic if arranged in advance.
- Set clear procurement objectives for each meeting: obtain price ranges, lead times and service terms to allow direct comparison.
Negotiation and follow-up during the fair
Prioritize offers that include after-sales service and local support. If attending with colleagues, split roles between technical evaluation and commercial terms to speed up vendor assessment.
