Who attends Irs - International Railway Summit 2027

How to structure a 25-minute meeting
Break the meeting into clear segments: quick intro, focused value proposition, technical proof, questions and defined next steps. A practical split is 3 minutes for context, 12 minutes for solution content, 7 minutes for Q&A and 3 minutes to confirm actions.
Prepare a one-page technical brief featuring core specifications, relevant certifications and applicable references. Also prepare a concise commercial summary with indicative pricing, delivery windows and pilot options so decisions can move forward during the short slot.
Materials and talking points that work
Create two compact packs: technical evidence and commercial terms. The technical pack must highlight measurable benefits and compatibility data. The commercial pack should list price ranges, lead times and pilot/test options.
Avoid long slide decks. Use a tablet or a short PDF to validate key figures during the meeting and provide a leave-behind that buyers can evaluate later. Enter each meeting with a defined decision objective and the specific document needed to achieve it.
Practical prospecting before and after the summit
Before the event identify buyer profiles that fit your offering and set clear meeting goals. Send a one-page pre-brief to save time during the meeting.
During the meeting capture explicit commitments and timelines. Agree on a named contact for next steps and note evaluation criteria expressed by the buyer.
After the meeting send a follow-up email with the agreed documents and a proposed schedule for a pilot or closing meeting. Include a short checklist of deliverables and deadlines.
