Practical tips for B2B prospecting and networking
Set clear segment priorities. With aviation, space and defence co-located, group target companies by application: aerostructures, propulsion, avionics or UAS. Use the exhibitor list to build a short target roster categorised by technical decision makers, procurement and strategic partners.
Book meetings ahead. The event offers tools for arranging meetings for trade visitors. Prepare a concise technical brief and use it to open conversations. In supplier areas and flying displays, expect technically oriented discussions so bring product specifications and operational data.
Plan your on-site time. Allocate trade days to technical and procurement meetings and leave room for flight demonstrations if your product benefits from in-operation showcases. The Supplier and Defence segments are the most efficient places to qualify industrial leads.
