Who exhibits and who attends Vinitech-Sifel?
Start by naming the production task: crop work, cellar handling, bottling or packaging. For equipment, record the material or product being handled, required throughput, available space, utilities and cleaning requirements. A useful proposal also needs the existing line configuration and format changes. Save what the supplier needs to check at the site, rather than treating a demonstration as confirmation that a machine will fit.
Who exhibits
- Viticulture and crop-production equipment suppliers
- Cellar and winemaking equipment manufacturers
- Bottling and packaging-system suppliers
- Orchard and vegetable-production specialists
- Agricultural services and technology providers
Who attends
- Winegrowers and winery teams
- Fruit and vegetable producers
- Cellar and production managers
- Agricultural equipment purchasing teams
- Distributors and technical advisers
The practical-information page directs visitors and exhibitors to Hall 1 and says the layout changes this edition. Use the current plan when grouping crop-production, cellar and packaging meetings.

How to set up Habsy before Vinitech-Sifel
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 Vinitech-Sifel category
Create a category called Vinitech-Sifel 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 Vinitech-Sifel contacts to Excel, CSV or VCF in one step. Exhibitors on Habsy Platform can also use the Vinitech-Sifel 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 Vinitech-Sifel:
Hi {{recipient.name}},
It was good meeting you at Vinitech-Sifel in Bordeaux.
I would be happy to share equipment specifications, format-compatibility details and installation information for the production requirements {{recipient.company}} is reviewing.
Would the technical information be useful first, or should we arrange a discussion about the existing setup, cleaning requirements and a possible site review?
Best regards,{{user.name}}{{user.company}}
Hi {{recipient.name}}, this is {{user.name}} from {{user.company}}. Good meeting you at Vinitech-Sifel.
Would equipment specifications or format-compatibility details help with your review? Happy to discuss the production setup, cleaning requirements and next technical step.
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 Vinitech-Sifel
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 "Format and cleaning review for 3 lines".
- 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.

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 Vinitech-Sifel, with example data:

Frequently Asked Questions
When and where is Vinitech-Sifel 2026?
The show runs December 1–3 at the Parc des Expositions de Bordeaux, France. The practical-information page identifies Hall 1 as the entrance location.
What visitor timetable should I use?
The main practical page and current ticket shop both publish 08:30–18:00 on all three days, Bordeaux local time. One FAQ badge-access answer instead says 18:30. Plan around 18:00 and confirm any different access printed on your badge with the organiser.
Is entry paid, and can I use an invitation?
General entry is paid. Eligible invitations or codes can provide a free personal badge after registration. The organiser also lists specific onsite exemptions; check your eligibility in the official FAQ and complete the badge process.
Can I show my badge on a phone?
The organiser encourages a digital badge displayed on your smartphone and says not to use a photo or screenshot. Each badge is personal; follow the current ticket confirmation instructions.
What information helps an equipment supplier prepare a useful proposal?
Describe the production task, product or crop, required throughput, current equipment, format changes, available space, utilities and cleaning needs. Agree which questions require a trial, technical documents or a site visit before a proposal.
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 Vinitech-Sifel 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.
