How to prepare B2B prospecting at Smart Doors 2026
-
Prioritize meetings by segment. With installers and developers taking substantial shares, tailor technical demos to installers and commercial pitches to developers.
-
Leverage the exhibitor catalogue. Use it to identify potential distributors and complementary manufacturers for supply or distribution agreements.
-
Design short technical demos. Repetitive five to seven minute demos fit better into a busy trade show rhythm than long presentations.
-
Highlight BIM and digital compatibility. Given the event’s links with BIM and digitalization tracks, showcasing product compatibility with BIM workflows strengthens conversations with architects and project teams.
-
Set measurable stand goals. Plan day‑by‑day targets, such as a number of technical meetings with installers or qualified post‑sale leads.
Practical opportunities during the week
The overlap with other fairs in International Construction Week opens cross‑sector conversations. Seek contacts in Veteco and Construtec who require integrated access solutions for façades or building automation. Use technical sessions to position your company as a project‑capable supplier.
