Practical prospecting and networking advice
Arrive with a short, executable plan
- Identify 8 to 12 target suppliers or buyers and mark their locations on the floorplan ahead of the event.
- Book demo slots when possible. Zones like Smart Lab and Coffee Place provide the right context to test equipment performance and product quality.
- Prepare concise product sheets with price, formats, lead times and storage requirements. Clear commercial collateral drives faster conversations in an environment with many new launches.
- Use masterclasses and competitions to meet qualified prospects. Sessions around coffee and technical demos often gather decision makers in concentrated timeframes.
What to prepare for exhibitors and visitors
Exhibitors should focus on a limited set of high-impact novelties and a clear value message covering convenience, premium positioning and packaging sustainability. Buyers should prioritize categories and schedule tasting or demo slots. The Pavillon 7.3 format supports compact agendas and repeated short meetings.
