The intersection of IoT, AI and robotics is reshaping operational strategy across industrial and tech companies. In that frame Sido Lyon 2027 gathers vendors and users of automation, connected devices and XR solutions.
Dates and venue
Sido Lyon 2027 takes place from September 15 to 16, 2027 in Lyon at the Centre de Congrès de Lyon (Cité Internationale). The two-day format compresses exhibition and commercial meetings, so a tight agenda is advisable.
Types of companies and technologies on show
The fair targets suppliers and industrial users working with IoT, artificial intelligence, robotics automation and extended reality. The show floor includes sensor and data platform vendors, system integrators and XR providers for maintenance and training. Attending profiles typically span technical teams and project owners from manufacturing and tech service companies.
How to prepare B2B prospecting for Sido Lyon 2027
- Define clear targets. List 10 priority companies or decision maker profiles and map a specific use case for each.
- Bring live demos. A working demo on a tablet or an XR setup shortens explanations and opens technical conversations.
- One-page technical briefs. Prepare concise product sheets with integration points, APIs and deployment requirements rather than long brochures.
- Schedule meetings in advance. Use the event platform and LinkedIn to book 20–30 minute slots with prospects. Pre-booked meetings let you enter with tailored proposals.
- Plan follow-up sequences. Create email templates and a 10-day follow-up plan to convert interest into qualified opportunities.
Practical tips for attendees
Register and check the exhibitor list on the official site. Arrive with measurable objectives and a clear calendar that balances pre-scheduled meetings with time for spontaneous walkthroughs. Keep digital access credentials ready to speed up entry and reduce downtime.
