Record each company’s published role and the event edition. Confirm individual attendance when arranging a meeting.
Prepare meetings, invitations and booth conversations
Book meetings early, because the Business Hall is open for only part of the week. Use the 2026 sponsor and Business Hall pages to map competitors and partners, then focus outreach on security leaders at your target accounts. Most attendees are hands-on technical staff, so bring technical proof for them and a shorter message for executives.
- Define your target industries, company sizes, buyer roles and account exclusions.
- Review available official sponsor and exhibitor directories for this edition.
- Qualify each company's fit and record the evidence behind its event connection.
- Agree on account priorities with field marketing and BDRs for meeting requests, dinner invitations and booth conversations.
