AEEDC Dubai 2027: Keep Equipment Enquiries Linked to Practice Requirements
AEEDC Dubai 2027 runs January 19–21 at Dubai World Trade Centre. An equipment enquiry is more useful when it records the practice workflow, existing systems and support questions behind it. This guide covers exhibition essentials and shows how Habsy can keep technical documents, training requests and the next supplier discussion connected to each contact.

Who exhibits and who attends AEEDC Dubai?
Separate a clinic’s equipment evaluation from a laboratory requirement or distributor enquiry. Record the intended workflow, interfaces with existing equipment, installation constraints, training and local service coverage. Ask the supplier for the documents the practice team needs to review. A show demonstration does not establish clinical suitability or product approval; those decisions belong with the appropriately qualified review team.
Who exhibits
- Dental equipment manufacturers
- Digital dentistry and imaging suppliers
- Dental material and consumable firms
- Dental laboratory and practice technology providers
Who attends
- Dentists and clinic owners
- Dental laboratory teams
- Dental distributors and dealers
- Practice procurement and clinical teams
Check the current floor plan for the exhibitor’s hall and stand. Exhibition and conference activities occupy different spaces and follow different access conditions. Save the exact meeting point and the relevant pass rather than assuming that exhibition access includes scientific sessions or courses.

How to set up Habsy before AEEDC Dubai
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.

1Your Professional digital card

2Your Business digital card

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.

Add them in Settings, Manage Intent Signals, with Create Manually, or start with Create with AI and adjust the options to match what you sell or what you are looking for.
3. Create a AEEDC Dubai category
Create a category called AEEDC Dubai 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 AEEDC Dubai contacts to Excel, CSV or VCF in one step. Exhibitors on Habsy Platform can also use the AEEDC Dubai category to track how the event performed: contacts captured, companies reached, intent signals and each rep's results.

1Create the category

2Pick it when you save a 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 AEEDC Dubai:
Hi {{recipient.name}},
It was good meeting you at AEEDC Dubai.
I would be happy to share equipment specifications, workflow-compatibility information and training or service options for the requirements {{recipient.company}} is reviewing.
Would the technical documents help first, or should we arrange a discussion with the colleagues responsible for equipment evaluation and support?
Best regards,{{user.name}}{{user.company}}
Hi {{recipient.name}}, this is {{user.name}} from {{user.company}}. Good meeting you at AEEDC Dubai.
Would compatibility information, training options or local-service details help your review? Happy to arrange the next equipment discussion with the relevant team.
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 AEEDC Dubai
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.

1Scan a business card

2Scan a badge QR code

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 "Digital dentistry review for 3 clinics".
- 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 AEEDC Dubai looks like with context added:

Exhibiting with a team? Run AEEDC Dubai 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

- One campaign for AEEDC Dubai: 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 AEEDC Dubai post-event report
When the show ends, Habsy turns your AEEDC Dubai 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 AEEDC Dubai, with example data:
Post-event report · AEEDC Dubai
Overview: what your team captured at AEEDC Dubai, how complete it is, and what stands out.
Analytics: the kinds of organizations and the seniority of the people your team met at AEEDC Dubai.
Intent signals: what contacts at AEEDC Dubai are interested in, when they plan to buy and the next step your reps agreed.
Habsy Platform has one team price, with no per-event or per-lead fees. See Habsy for teams or explore the platform.
Bottom line
Record the clinical workflow, equipment compatibility, training needs, service coverage and requested documents with each dental supplier. 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
When and where is AEEDC Dubai 2027?
January 19–21 at Dubai World Trade Centre, Dubai, United Arab Emirates. INDEX Conferences & Exhibition Organization LLC is named as organiser in the current registration terms.
What are the exhibition hours?
January 19–20: 10:00–18:00. January 21: 10:00–16:00, Dubai local time. These are exhibition hours, not the conference timetable.
Does exhibition registration cover the conference and courses?
Check the specific pass and programme inclusions. Exhibition, conference and specialist activities have different registration conditions; an exhibition badge should not be treated as universal access.
How should I prepare for badge collection or entry?
The FAQ asks visitors to register online before arrival and describes an e-badge in the AEEDC app. The registration terms also refer to physical identification badges. Follow your current confirmation and ask registration support if instructions differ; badges are personal and must not be shared.
What should a dental-equipment follow-up include?
Request the agreed specifications, compatibility information, training and local-service details. Identify who will assess the documents and the next technical question. Avoid assuming that a demonstration establishes clinical suitability, approval or a confirmed purchasing decision.
Can Habsy access the organiser’s badge database?
No. It can read supported QR codes that contain contact details. If a badge contains only a registration identifier or restricted organiser link, use the official retrieval option or exchange a business card. A separate contact app does not grant access to registration records.
How do I keep the AEEDC Dubai team’s contacts organised?
Use consistent qualification questions, agree a follow-up owner and save the next action with the contact. Categories and intent signals require Habsy Plus; free text notes and reminders can record the same discussion in a simpler workflow. Habsy Platform is separately priced for shared team campaigns, assignments and reporting.
Which Habsy features are free and which require a plan?
Scanning, text notes, reminders, exports and two digital cards are free. Categories, voice notes, intent signals, templates, enquiry forms, card analytics and integrations require Habsy Plus. Sending and CRM steps need the relevant account integration; offline capture is processed when the device reconnects.
