- Schedule contacts. Reserve slots for quick meetings with partners and key speakers. Prioritize 15- to 20-minute meetings that allow progress toward concrete agreements.
- Digital materials. Bring a folder with brief presentations, an optimized pitch deck and links to demos or landing pages to share via QR or immediate email.
- Follow-up messages. Define follow-up templates with a concrete proposal and a clear next step. Send the first email within 48 hours after the meeting.
- Lead measurement. Establish simple indicators: number of meetings, qualified leads and commitments to a demo or post-event meeting.
