• Build your route in advance. Use MyOrganizer to bookmark key exhibitors and find them quickly across the halls.

• Install the wire app. It helps you plan your visit, search companies, and navigate the venue. Especially useful when meetings are back-to-back.

• Open the hall plans. Even 15 minutes of prep can save hours on-site. It also makes it easier to keep your meeting pace.

• Make time for the program. In the Conferences & Forums section, you can pick talks for your goals: technology, market trends, production management, sustainability.

• A manager’s shortcut. Midday, do a quick 20-minute “decision session”: note who goes into your follow-up pipeline and what to request after the show. It dramatically improves ROI from the trip.
