Two paths

For SME suppliers and subcontractors

Turn a fifteen-minute meeting with a prime into a follow-up they answer.

Composites, avionics, additive, components — you get minutes with a prime’s supply-chain team or a visiting procurement delegation. Scan the badge, voice-note the programme and the requirement they raised. BoothBot files each lead in your Google Sheet and drafts a follow-up referencing the exact spec when you ask, in the buyer’s language or yours.

For procurement delegations and supply-chain teams

Build a qualified supplier shortlist across the halls.

Photograph the part, voice-note the certifications, lead time and programme fit. SourceBot files each supplier with the AS9100 status, capability and contact pulled in — sorted before your delegation flies home.

About the show

Farnborough International Airshow 2026 — Global Aerospace & Defence Trade Event

The Farnborough International Airshow is one of the two largest aerospace and defence trade events in the world, held biennially at the Farnborough International Exhibition & Conference Centre in Hampshire, UK — about 40 miles south-west of London. The 2026 edition runs July 20–24, with Monday to Thursday reserved for trade and business visitors and Friday 24 July opening as the “Pioneers of Tomorrow” public and STEM day.

It is where the aerospace supply chain, air forces, airlines and government delegations convene. The most recent edition drew more than 100,000 visitors and exhibitors from over 60 countries, and saw upward of $105.8 billion in commercial aircraft and engine orders announced across the week. The 2026 programme spans global security, advanced technology and AI, resilient supply chains, sustainability, future flight and eVTOL, and space.

Behind the primes — Boeing, Airbus, Lockheed Martin, Rolls-Royce — is a long tail of SME suppliers and subcontractors in composites, avionics, additive manufacturing and components, competing for a few minutes with procurement delegations and prime supply-chain teams. Those conversations are short and the requirements are specific. A supplier who cannot follow up promptly, referencing the exact programme and part discussed, watches the opportunity route to a competitor before the show has even closed.

How it works

Three steps. A few days.

1

Sign up by email

One field. Pick your channel: WhatsApp, Telegram, WeChat, or web. Your Google Sheet is ready in seconds.

2

Capture across halls and chalets

Across the exhibition halls, the static aircraft display and the chalet line. Scan badges, photograph parts, voice-note certifications and programme fit — everything routes to your sheet in real time.

3

Follow up that night

Drafts wait in your inbox, each referencing the programme and requirement discussed — in the buyer’s language or yours. Review, send, done.

The Open Data Model

Your data is yours, forever.

Everything you capture at Farnborough International Airshow 2026 stays in your Google Sheet, shared with you, whether you pay or not. Payment keeps the capture and follow-up engine running beyond opening day. It does not gate access to data you already built.

Plan your visit

Opening hours

Trade days Monday–Friday; Friday doubles as the public "Pioneers of Tomorrow" day. Multi-day trade passes are valid on any days of the week — no advance day selection.

Registration & entry

Trade tickets are sold per day-count and are non-refundable; the public Friday ticket is a separate product. American Express is not accepted.

Who gets in

Airport-style security: bag screening, scanners, random photo-ID checks for visitors 16+. Own food is allowed but alcohol and sharp items are confiscated at the gate. Drones are strictly prohibited; filming is private-use only.

Finding your way

Covered exhibition halls plus outdoor static and flying displays on the airfield. Café in every hall, outdoor food courts, free drinking-water stations signposted throughout. No reserved seating or grandstand. The show runs regardless of weather.

Budget reality check

What exhibiting at Farnborough International Airshow 2026 typically costs.

Space only · small booth (9 m² / 10×10)

€1,600–2,900

Realistic all-in (build, freight, drayage, travel)

€7,000–15,000

Visitor badge

commonly €20–80; trade visitors often free via exhibitor codes

Space rental is only a quarter to a third of the true cost — budget 3–4× the space rate before deciding. These are industry-typical planning ranges for a show of this region and scale, not organizer quotes — confirm against the official exhibitor prospectus, and watch the advance-freight deadline: it quietly decides half the logistics bill.

Questions

Common questions.

Which days should I plan to use it?

Farnborough is trade and business only Monday to Thursday, with Friday 24 July opening as the “Pioneers of Tomorrow” public and STEM day. DaGaMa works every day — but the procurement delegations, airlines and prime supply-chain teams you want are on the floor during the Monday–Thursday trade window.

I’m a small supplier, not a prime — is this built for me?

That is exactly who it is built for. Boeing, Airbus, Lockheed and Rolls-Royce have teams. A composites or avionics subcontractor getting fifteen minutes with a prime’s supply-chain lead does not — and that lead is worth chasing properly. BoothBot does the filing and drafts the follow-up so a two-person stand competes on responsiveness, not headcount.

Can it follow up with international delegations in their language?

Yes. Farnborough draws delegations from more than 60 countries. DaGaMa Intelligence drafts each follow-up in the language of the conversation or in English — ready to send from your own inbox.

How does the free first day work?

Sign up with your email. The first 24 hours after your first capture are free. Every lead and voice note flows into a Google Sheet shared with you. Payment continues the capture beyond day one.

What happens to my data after the show?

It stays yours. Everything you captured at Farnborough remains in your Google Sheet and dashboard, whether you pay or not. Most platforms lock the data behind a renewal. We don’t.
