How to approach B2B prospecting at EWM 2026
- Preselect target exhibitors. Review the exhibitor list and prioritise firms that align with your product lines. Prepare one page product briefs for quick handouts.
- Book meetings in lower traffic slots. Use the Friday evening and early Saturday slots to secure focused conversations.
- Use short demos or visual aids. Practical demonstrations help start technical conversations in a hands on environment.
- Use lectures to sharpen your pitch. Attend sessions on wind energy, storage and heat pumps and reference key talking points in meetings.
- Capture follow up consent. Ask for explicit permission to send technical materials and record next steps in your meeting notes.
