What 1,600 exhibitors means on the floor.
Divide 1,600 stands across 4 days and you get about 400 a day at an even pace. Nobody walks ISM Cologne 2027 evenly — but that number is the reason the notes stop matching the cards by day two.
At 20 trade visitors per exhibitor, the aisles do the filtering and the supplier list is the thing worth protecting. Snap the card or the product, add a voice note, and it lands structured in your Google Sheet — prices, MOQs and contacts side by side instead of in a bag of catalogues.
