With the show roughly nine weeks out, timing matters.
Before the show: Identify which exhibitors match your ICP and start outreach now — a five-day program spanning 15 tracks and 11 stages means exhibitors are often pulled into sessions and side events, making scheduled meetings more valuable than floor traffic alone.
During the show: Use confirmed contacts to plan meetings around AfroTech’s packed programming schedule.
After the show: Follow up with exhibitors you didn’t reach in person, and feed verified records into your CRM ahead of next year’s edition.
