Maximize Your Impact at SMM 2026
SMM 2026, taking place in Hamburg from September 1–4, is one of the most influential gatherings for the global maritime industry. Held biennially, the event draws decision-makers from shipowners, shipyards, equipment manufacturers, and technology providers who come to evaluate innovations, form supplier relationships, and finalize commercial strategies. With shipping, offshore and marine technology companies facing major investments in sustainability, automation, and digital infrastructure, this is where key purchasing and partnership decisions happen.
Attendees include technical directors, procurement leads, innovation managers, and senior executives with budget and implementation authority. The conference floor is used to compare vendors, prepare RFP shortlists, and align cross-border partnerships in regulation-heavy markets. With Vendelux’s enriched attendee list, you’ll have early insight into who’s attending, what they manage, and which companies to prioritize—helping your team approach the event with precision.
How Sales, Marketing and Revops Teams Can Use This Attendee List
This attendee data allows B2B teams catering to maritime, sustainability, manufacturing, or supply chain tech to take a targeted, sales-driven approach. Use the enriched conference attendee list to group contacts by job focus—engineering, procurement, fleet operations—and prepare personalized messaging tied to specific equipment needs or compliance concerns.
Start by identifying which accounts already match your pipeline priorities, and reach out to verified attendees with budget oversight weeks before the exhibit floor opens. Turn scheduled meetings into working sessions by aligning your message with CAPEX cycles, retrofit needs, or decarbonization goals. On the ground, use real-time attendee data to follow up with relevant content or offers and move conversations forward with credibility.
Whether you’re offering propulsion systems, automation tools, classification services, or decarbonization strategies, early insight into conference attendees lets you structure outreach around how to get more meetings with high-fit delegates—and convert those touchpoints into signed partnerships post-event.
Timing Is Everything
SMM 2026 will be held from September 1–4, 2026 in Hamburg. That leaves a narrow window for early engagement. With Vendelux, your team gains early access to the attendee list, giving you a time advantage when competitors are still waiting for badge scans.
Start by syncing outreach strategies with attendee availability. Use the attendee data to segment early communication, set pre-event appointments, and warm up critical accounts with relevant campaigns. Events like SMM are crowded, and calendars fill up fast.
