How to prepare B2B outreach at La Mêlée Numérique 2026
-
Target by theme. Select the tracks that match your offer such as security, data or cloud and prioritize meetings in those spaces.
-
Use the official app. The festival app stores your ticket and profile. Filling your profile and booking one to one meetings in advance increases contact quality.
-
Craft concise value propositions. Prepare a one or two sentence pitch tied to a concrete use case for public or private organizations in the region.
-
Block meeting slots. Reserve early time slots for conversations with senior profiles who often attend Forum DI sessions.
-
Bring technical collateral. Case studies, security metrics and architecture schematics help advance technical conversations without long presentations.
