Practical tips to prepare B2B prospecting at ECS 2026
Set one objective per day. Day one for partner and product engagements, day two for expo demos and prospect meetings, day three for follow-ups and qualified lead conversations. Prepare concise technical one-pagers showing use cases and measurable outcomes. Prioritize a shortlist of 10 target companies and schedule 20-minute meetings; expo catering areas are useful for informal follow-ups.
Consult the agenda to spot sessions where Microsoft product leads and MVPs will present. Use those sessions to ask technical questions that open commercial dialogues. If you are considering sponsorship, review matchmaking packages and prepare a clear value proposition and target leads metric.
What the expo delivers in practical terms
The exhibition hosts sponsor booths with demos, integrations and case studies. Available figures reference more than 85 booths and a sponsor network exceeding 90 organizations in 2026. Multiple stages and concentrated expo breaks increase the number of meaningful interactions during show hours.
