B2B prospecting tactics for the show floor
- Preselect targets using the exhibitor directory and prioritise firms aligned with your product segment.
- Send a concise technical first message to the right contact, focusing on a measurable benefit or reference case.
- Plan hands-on demos at your stand that replicate operational conditions relevant to French rail operators.
- Schedule longer meetings on 23 June, the day with extended opening hours to 19:00.
- Define a fast follow-up process so technical documentation and commercial proposals are sent within two weeks after the event.
Practical advice for visitors
Bring compact technical dossiers and project references adapted to the French market. Map the stands you want to visit and allocate time slots of around 30 minutes for meaningful conversations. Use the show directory to identify partners and potential subcontractors before arrival.
