Who exhibits and who attends ADIPEC?

Operators, EPC contractors and distributors need different follow-up. Record the site application, technical requirements, qualification documents, local support and buying stage so the next discussion reaches the right project or procurement team.

Who exhibits

  • Energy equipment and industrial service suppliers
  • Digitalisation, AI and automation providers
  • Lower-carbon and chemicals technology firms
  • Maritime and logistics solution providers
  • Engineering, maintenance and project service companies

Who attends

  • Energy operators and asset owners
  • EPC contractors and project engineers
  • Procurement and supply-chain professionals
  • Technology, maintenance and operations teams
  • Distributors and industrial partnership teams

Use the current hall plan to group equipment, AI, digitalisation and maritime meetings. Save the exhibitor stand or zone with each contact, and check pass access before booking conference appointments.

How to prepare for ADIPEC with Habsy

Most of the work happens before you reach Abu Dhabi. Set up Habsy once and every conversation at the show ends with a saved contact, the context you need and a next step.

If you are visiting

Before you fly

  1. 1

    Create your Professional digital card

    Share your details by QR code, NFC or link instead of paper cards.

  2. 2

    Add your Business digital card

    Your company profile and brochures, for partners and suppliers you meet.

  3. 3

    Create a ADIPEC category

    Plus the visitor intent signals below, to sort vendors by fit later.

  4. 4

    Turn on Send my digital card back

    Everyone you scan gets your card automatically.

If you are exhibiting

Before you fly, for every rep

  1. 1

    Install Habsy on every rep's phone

    Give each rep a digital card, plus one Business digital card for the company.

  2. 2

    Set up intent signals and templates

    Every rep qualifies and follows up the same way, by email or WhatsApp.

  3. 3

    Add an enquiry form to your card

    Print its QR code on the booth so visitors leave details when you are busy.

  4. 4

    Create a ADIPEC campaign

    Bringing several reps? Every scan lands in one live list.

How to set up Habsy before ADIPEC

Five steps, in the order the app walks you through them. Visitors need steps 1 to 3. Exhibitors should do all five.

1. Create your digital business cards

Every Habsy account includes two free digital cards under MyQR: a Professional digital card for you and a Business digital card for your company, with your services and brochures. Habsy's AI builds them from your LinkedIn profile and website, or from a photo of your own business card. Share them by QR code, NFC or link. The person you share with opens your card in their browser, with no app needed, and saves your contact in one tap. Add an enquiry form so visitors who scan your card leave their details and are saved as a new contact.

  3. Sharing a Habsy digital card by QR code, NFC or link at ADIPEC

    3Share by QR code, NFC or link

2. Add intent signals

Intent signals are tap-to-answer questions you fill in for every contact, so every rep records the same details in seconds. In Settings, open Manage Intent Signals, then tap Create with AI to get suggestions from your website, or Create Manually to add the set below.

3. Create a ADIPEC category

Create a category called ADIPEC and set it as your default for the days of the event, so every contact you scan at the show is filed under it automatically. After the show, use it as a filter to export only your ADIPEC contacts to Excel, CSV or VCF in one step. Exhibitors on Habsy Platform can also use the ADIPEC category to track how the event performed: contacts captured, companies reached, intent signals and each rep's results.

  2. Choosing the ADIPEC category when saving a contact

    2Pick it when you save a contact

  3. The ADIPEC category shown on a saved contact

    3Find it on every contact

4. Set up your email and WhatsApp templates

Connect your email account or WhatsApp Business account in Settings before the show. Then, with Send email or WhatsApp template turned on in your Card Preferences, your follow-up goes out from your own account the moment you save a scanned contact. The visitor often has your message, and your digital card, before they leave your booth. It shows you are organized and quick to respond, and it puts you ahead of every exhibitor who follows up next week. To write the template, open Email Templates or WhatsApp Templates in Settings, describe the message, and Habsy's AI writes it. Add variables such as the contact's name and company so every message is personal. Here is a template you can copy for ADIPEC:

ADIPEC follow-up template
NameADIPEC energy-sector follow-up
SubjectFollowing up from ADIPEC: technical information for your next project

Hi {{recipient.name}},

It was good connecting with you at ADIPEC in Abu Dhabi.

I'd be happy to share product specifications, service capabilities and regional support options to help {{recipient.company}} review suppliers for upcoming energy projects.

Would a technical overview be useful, or would you prefer a short discussion about your operating requirements, qualification documents and delivery timelines?

Best regards,
{{user.name}}
{{user.company}}

Words in braces are variables. Habsy fills them in from each contact and from your profile when you send.

How to capture every contact at ADIPEC

Use one app for every contact you make, wherever you make it: at the booth, in a session, at a reception or over dinner. Every rep and every visitor captures contacts on their own phone, free and with no scan limit, and every contact lands in one list with your category, intent signals and notes.

Capture every contactHabsy
  1. Scanning a business card with Habsy at ADIPEC

    1Scan a business card

  2. Scanning an event badge QR code with Habsy at ADIPEC

    2Scan a badge QR code

  3. Typing in a contact with manual entry in Habsy at ADIPEC

    3Type it in with manual entry

  • Badges: point the Habsy scanner at a badge and Habsy reads the attendee's details from its QR code. If a badge holds only a registration number, scan the person's business card or type them in.
  • Business cards: scan each card in seconds, or switch to Batch and scan up to 150 cards in about 5 minutes without leaving the camera. Habsy reads cards in 200+ languages.
  • QR codes: scan digital business cards from any provider, LinkedIn QR codes and contact QR codes.
  • NFC: turn on NFC on the scan screen, then hold an NFC business card or an NFC event badge to the back of your phone. Habsy reads the contact and saves it, with no camera needed.
  • Manual entry: no card and no QR code? Choose Manual and type the details in.
  • Offline: capture continues when the hall Wi-Fi is busy, and contacts process once you reconnect.

Many shows also sell official lead retrieval through the organizer. Habsy works on its own or next to it. For more, read lead capture vs lead retrieval.

How to add context while you talk

A contact without context is hard to follow up. Before the next conversation starts, add what you discussed and what you promised.

  • Intent signals: tap the answers on the review screen after each scan.
  • Voice notes: tap Add Voice Note and say what they need. Habsy turns it into a searchable transcript.
  • Text notes: type a quick note, such as "Equipment support review for 3 facilities".
  • Reminders: in 1 hour, in 4 hours, tomorrow at 9 AM or any date and time, with a repeat and an alarm. All of them appear in My reminders.

Here is what a contact from ADIPEC looks like with context added:

Exhibiting with a team? Run ADIPEC on Habsy Platform

When several reps work the booth, the hard part is not capturing leads. It is knowing, during the show and after it, who met whom, who is hot and who follows up. Habsy Platform is the web dashboard for that, at app.habsy.ai. Reps keep scanning in the app, and the manager sees everything in one place.

app.habsy.ai

Habsy Platform campaign dashboard with total cards, companies, enrichment, engagement score and intent signals, as a team sees it for ADIPEC
A Habsy Platform campaign dashboard: totals, enrichment, engagement and intent signals for one event.
  • One campaign for ADIPEC: every rep's contacts land in one live list, by rep and by day.
  • Clear ownership: assign contacts, set reminders, and get alerts when two reps meet the same person.
  • Follow-up from one place: sync to your CRM and run email sequences, WhatsApp and LinkedIn outreach for the whole team.

The ADIPEC post-event report

When the show ends, Habsy turns your ADIPEC contacts into a post-event report: what your team captured, who you met, what they told you through your intent signals, and a dossier on every company with how well it fits your business. Use it to decide who to call first and whether the next edition is worth the booth. Here is what it could look like for ADIPEC, with example data:

Visitors: create your digital card and scan every card and badge you collect. Exhibitors: set up intent signals and templates before you fly, capture every contact in one app, and follow up within 48 hours. See event lead capture with Habsy.
