About Satellite Days

Satellite Days is a telecommunications industry event taking place October 19–20, 2026 at Bombay Exhibition Centre in Mumbai, India. It runs for two days, opening on Monday and closing on Tuesday. That is only 10 days away, so most planning deadlines have already passed; focus on travel, staffing and lead capture.

Shows like this one typically draw network operators, engineers, enterprise IT buyers, device makers and infrastructure investors. We have not been able to confirm an official website for this show yet, so contact the organizer before making any plans.

What to expect at Satellite Days

Telecom shows are large and technical, with heavy demand for meetings and demos of network, device and infrastructure technology.

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 network operators and their colleagues, often with a short list of suppliers they want to see.

How exhibitors should prepare for Satellite Days

Here is a working timeline counted back from the opening day, October 19, 2026:

1. 16 weeks before (Jun 29, 2026) · date passed, do it now if you haven't
   Confirm your booth space and read the exhibitor manual. Book hotels near Bombay Exhibition Centre while rates are still normal.
2. 8 weeks before (Aug 24, 2026) · date passed, do it now if you haven't
   Order booth services (power, internet, furniture, cleaning) before the early-rate deadlines, and send graphics to print.
3. 4 weeks before (Sep 21, 2026) · date passed, do it now if you haven't
   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 (Oct 12, 2026)
   Confirm freight arrived, share the staffing schedule, charge every device, and test your lead capture app with Wi-Fi turned off.

Preparation tips for telecommunications shows

• Book meetings with operators early; their calendars fill fast.
• Prepare demos that do not depend on venue connectivity.
• Bring standards and interoperability details.

Booth tips for Satellite Days

• Show live demos with clear performance numbers.
• Ask about network plans and deployment timelines.
• Have engineers available for technical deep dives.
• Walk the hall at Bombay Exhibition Centre during move-in to see which entrances and aisles carry the most traffic, and set up your booth so it faces that flow.
• 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 Satellite Days

Most of the value of a trade show is created after it closes. Operators run long evaluations, so propose a trial or proof of concept as the next step.

1. Within 24 hours (by Oct 21, 2026)
   Send a short personal email to every hot lead. Mention one detail from your conversation so they remember you.
2. By Oct 23, 2026
   Send everything you promised at the booth: prices, samples, demo links. Log each lead in your CRM with its rating and notes.
3. By Nov 3, 2026
   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 Nov 19, 2026
   Review results: how many leads became meetings, what each lead cost, and whether Satellite Days is worth returning to.

Getting to Mumbai

Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (BOM) serves Mumbai. Major venues include the Bombay Exhibition Centre in Goregaon and the Jio World Convention Centre in Bandra Kurla Complex. Traffic is heavy, so stay close to your venue if you can. Most visitors need a visa; India offers e-visas for business travel for many nationalities.

Hotels closest to the venue sell out first during show week, and many organizers offer discounted room blocks that close weeks before the show, so book early. Our city travel guides cover hotels, transport and budgeting for the busiest show cities.
