When visiting a trade fair, itβs worth being well-prepared. This way, you can enjoy your day and make sure you donβt miss any important experiences:
Ticket or ID: Itβs best to have both β digitally on your smartphone and printed out. This ensures smooth entry, even if your phone runs out of battery.
Business Cards: Very handy when meeting people and exchanging contacts. A small stack in your bag never hurts.
Notepad or Tablet: Thereβs so much exciting information β whether for notes, ideas, or new contacts, a notebook or tablet is invaluable.
Comfortable Shoes: Trust me, your feet will thank you. Trade fairs involve a lot of walking and standing.
Small Bag or Backpack: Perfect for flyers, giveaways, or small brochures you pick up along the way.
Personal Items: Deodorant, hairbrush, makeup, or blister plasters β little helpers that make your day much more comfortable.
Water, Snacks, Smartphone & Power Bank: To stay energized and reachable. Short breaks with a snack give you the energy to explore the next booth.
A little preparation can work wonders if you want to have meaningful conversations and build valuable connections. Before attending the trade fair, itβs worth making a small plan: take a close look at which exhibitors, speakers, and workshops are most relevant to you. This way, you already know where you absolutely want to go and wonβt waste time on-site.
Also, think about a short elevator pitch: Who are you, what do you do, and what are you looking for? A few clear sentences will help you introduce yourself quickly and confidently β making a much more professional impression and opening doors for conversations. It can also be helpful to prepare a few questions to ask during discussions. This keeps the conversation structured and ensures you get the information thatβs truly relevant to you.
And very importantly: organize your contacts immediately. If you collect business cards, jot down a few notes about each person so you remember whoβs who later. Digital tools like LinkedIn or dedicated trade fair apps can also help ensure no contact is lost and allow you to follow up effectively after the event.
Berlin also offers great opportunities for families and private visitors to make a trade fair visit varied and exciting. For example, the International Green Week features hands-on activities that are especially interesting for children. Here, kids can explore and learn about food, agriculture, and nutrition in a playful way.
