Prepare meetings, invitations and booth conversations

Use the sponsor directory to list Microsoft partners and ISVs that sell into your accounts, then map which of your target customers run Azure, Microsoft 365 or Copilot. Book meetings two to three weeks out and tie your outreach to a specific session track or product launch your contact cares about. Many attendees join online, so confirm in-person attendance before you plan a meeting.

1. Define your target industries, company sizes, buyer roles and account exclusions.
2. Review available official sponsor and exhibitor directories for this edition.
3. Qualify each company's fit and record the evidence behind its event connection.
4. Agree on account priorities with field marketing and BDRs for meeting requests, dinner invitations and booth conversations.
