About ad:tech New Delhi

ad:tech New Delhi is a technology industry event expected to take place March 24–25, 2027 in New Delhi, India. It runs for two days, opening on Wednesday and closing on Thursday. With more than 5 months to go, there is time to plan the booth, the budget and the meetings properly.

What to expect at ad:tech New Delhi

Technology shows move fast and reward clear demos. Visitors are technical, skeptical of buzzwords, and often attend with a list of problems they want solved. Expect deep questions at the booth and a strong pull toward live product walkthroughs.

Two days go by quickly. Book your most important meetings for the first morning, when visitors are fresh, and keep the second afternoon for follow-up conversations at the booth. Expect most visitors to be IT leaders and their colleagues, often with a short list of suppliers they want to see.

How exhibitors should prepare for ad:tech New Delhi

Here is a working timeline counted back from the opening day, March 24, 2027 (expected date, so adjust once it is confirmed):

1. 16 weeks before (Dec 2, 2026)
   Confirm your booth space and read the exhibitor manual. Book hotels in New Delhi while rates are still normal.
2. 8 weeks before (Jan 27, 2027)
   Order booth services (power, internet, furniture, cleaning) before the early-rate deadlines, and send graphics to print.
3. 4 weeks before (Feb 24, 2027)
   Ship freight to the advance warehouse if the organizer offers one. Book meetings with the visitors you most want to see. Set up lead capture and train the team on it.
4. One week before (Mar 17, 2027)
   Confirm freight arrived, share the staffing schedule, charge every device, and test your lead capture app with Wi-Fi turned off.

Preparation tips for technology shows

• Prepare a two-minute demo that works offline; venue Wi-Fi at large tech shows is crowded and unreliable.
• Book meetings with target accounts two to four weeks out, since decision makers fill their calendars before they arrive.
• Have a technical teammate on every shift so detailed questions do not end the conversation.

Booth tips for ad:tech New Delhi

• Lead with the problem you solve in plain words, then show the product; feature lists alone do not stop technical visitors.
• Run demos on a large screen facing the aisle so a small crowd can watch while one person drives.
• Note the visitor's current tools and timeline with each lead; those two details shape the whole follow-up.
• Give every person on the booth a clear role (greeting, demos, qualifying) so nobody waits for someone else to start a conversation.
• If you expect local buyers in India, bring key material in the local language as well as English, and have prices ready in the local currency.
• Capture every conversation the moment it ends: scan the badge or card, add a one-line note about what the visitor needs, and rate the lead hot, warm or cold. Notes written that evening are already half forgotten.

Following up leads after ad:tech New Delhi

Most of the value of a trade show is created after it closes. Tech buyers usually involve several people, so send material they can forward internally: a short summary, a demo recording and a clear next step.

1. Within 24 hours (by Mar 26, 2027)
   Send a short personal email to every hot lead. Mention one detail from your conversation so they remember you.
2. By Mar 28, 2027
   Send everything you promised at the booth: prices, samples, demo links. Log each lead in your CRM with its rating and notes.
3. By Apr 8, 2027
   Make a second, useful touch: a case study, a short video or an answer to the question they asked. Warm leads often reply to this one.
4. By Apr 24, 2027
   Review results: how many leads became meetings, what each lead cost, and whether ad:tech New Delhi is worth returning to.
