Bring compact material samples with project references and indicative pricing to speed qualification.
Schedule 20 minute meetings with clear objectives, for instance to confirm technical compatibility or arrange on site trials. Tag contacts by purchase phase and technical need to streamline post event follow up. Contact priority leads within 72 hours offering a concrete next step like a technical demo or site visit.
Tips for exhibitors on the show floor
Demonstrate integration with site workflows and digital processes. Present BIM workflows, energy performance metrics and installation details. For material manufacturers, provide technical sheets with fire performance, durability data and compatibility notes to help architects and contractors assess fit quickly.
