Commercial prospecting tactics for exhibitors
Book partnering meetings in advance and block live demo slots for automation and integration showcases. Prepare concise technical briefs that map directly to common LIMS and ELN setups and pack short case studies demonstrating throughput gains. Aim for a daily target of qualified follow-up leads and assign post-show actions to named team members to convert interest into pipeline.
What visitors from labs should prioritise
Focus on live workflow integration demos to verify interoperability of robotics and software. Attend sessions on sustainability to collect measures that reduce energy consumption and on data strategy to assess readiness for AI adoption.
