How to approach B2B prospecting at HR Expo 2026
- Pre-segment target accounts. Prioritize companies among exhibitors and potential buyers by suitability and budget.
- Book meetings early. Offer 20 minute demo slots to streamline calendar management.
- Present concise value cases. Show measurable outcomes such as time-to-hire reduction or upskilling metrics.
- Optimize lead capture. Use digital forms, tablet demos and a clear post-event follow-up sequence.
- Use short live demos. Micro-presentations at the stand help buyers evaluate fit within a short timeframe.
Focus on replicable proofs of concept rather than broad feature overviews.
Final note
After the event prioritize follow-up by converting promising conversations into pilots or proof of value projects. For tickets, exhibitor lists and logistical details visit the official site https://hrex.at where registration and contact information are available.
