Tips for the perfect trade fair visit
A cannabis trade fair is often large, crowded and offers countless stands and program items. With these tips, you can plan your visit optimally and make the most of your day.
1. secure tickets early
Saving at trade fairs? Many trade fairs offer discounted online tickets that you can secure in advance. This saves you money and avoids long waiting times at the ticket office.
2. plan the day beforehand
Find out about the program in advance and decide which lectures, workshops or stands you would like to visit. That way you won’t miss any important highlights.
3. arrive early & avoid long queues
Most trade fairs are less crowded in the morning. If you arrive early, you can walk through the halls at your leisure and talk to exhibitors before it gets crowded.
4. wear comfortable clothing & shoes
At a trade fair, you are on the move a lot and often stand for long periods of time. Comfortable shoes and light clothing are a must so that you can relax and enjoy the day.
5. take cash with you
Many stands offer exclusive trade fair offers, but do not always accept card payment. It is worth taking some cash with you for spontaneous purchases.
6. collect notes & business cards
If you talk to experts or companies, it is worth exchanging contacts or taking notes. This will help you remember important information later.
7. plan for catering
There are often food trucks or catering areas at trade fairs, but the prices can be high. A small bottle of water and a snack in your rucksack will help you to get through the day relaxed.
8. actively use networking
Whether you are a grower, entrepreneur or patient – a trade fair is the perfect opportunity to make new contacts. Be open to discussions and take the opportunity to exchange ideas.
9. workshops & lectures
Many trade fairs offer exciting lectures on cultivation, medical cannabis or legal topics. Take the opportunity to expand your knowledge and learn from experts.
10. check exclusive trade fair deals
Many manufacturers offer special discounts or new products at trade fairs. It is worth keeping an eye out for special offers.
