Exhibitor profile at Ips 2026
Exhibitors include cabinet and enclosure makers, hardware and software providers, and audio electronic component manufacturers. The event is a pure B2B format aimed at procurement and engineering teams from HiFi and professional audio companies.
ALTI partnership and pavilion
Ips runs in parallel with HIGH END Vienna and maintains a partnership with the ALTI Association. That collaboration supports a combined pavilion showcasing loudspeaker technologies and related solutions. ALTI provides on-site representation and technical support to exhibitors within the IPS area.
How to prepare B2B prospecting for Ips 2026
Agenda planning
- Schedule meetings ahead of the show and rank suppliers by technical relevance. The four-day format allows for relaxed, in-depth discussions.
Technical dossier
- Bring specification sheets and integration questions to each meeting. Suppliers respond best to precise requests about interfaces, tolerances and expected volumes.
Stand evaluation
- Focus on feasibility checks and lead times. Request samples or technical references and record product codes and direct contacts for post-show assessment.
Follow-up process
- Agree on trial deliveries and milestone dates before leaving the show. A follow-up email with technical requirements and a timeline reduces friction and speeds up decision making.
What the co-location with HIGH END adds
Sharing the venue with HIGH END concentrates technical visitors and final-product manufacturers in the same space. For component buyers this simplifies comparative evaluations and gives faster access to companies that already attend the consumer-facing show.
