B2B prospecting advice for MCMA 2026
Approach prospecting with three concrete steps:
- Prioritize by application. Map exhibitors to the asset classes and processes you manage to focus conversations on relevant solutions.
- Bring short case studies. Technical evidence and measurable outcomes help open dialogue with maintenance managers faster than generic brochures.
- Schedule meetings around sessions. Use the two-day structure to lock short demos and follow ups while interests are fresh.
Technical visitors should arrive with sample condition data or asset lists to accelerate technical validation conversations.
Numbers and background
MCMA marks 19 years of activity and in 2025 recorded 6,900 attendees. Since 2025 the event expanded into pavilions 4 and 5 at Veronafiere and includes a startup area with special terms for emerging suppliers.
