Participation in Flora Expo Astana is an investment in sales growth, new partnerships, and brand development. The exhibition lasts three days, but commercial results are formed several weeks before the opening.
This guide was prepared by the marketing team of Astana Expo. Over more than 20 years, we have organized 95 industry events with the participation of over 600 companies and more than 15,000 professional visitors. We continuously analyze registration dynamics, visitor routes across the exhibition floor, and negotiation activity onsite. Based on this practical experience, we have structured a sequence of steps that makes participation systematic and results predictable.
Companies that prepare their marketing activities in advance receive 2–3 times more targeted contacts compared to those who rely solely on stand presence.
1. Start with a properly presented company profile in official exhibition channels
The first stage of preparation is completing the exhibitor’s personal account. The information is published in the electronic catalogue and used in exhibition news materials and newsletters. For many visitors, the catalogue is the first point of contact and the basis for planning their route.
Your description should be detailed and specific: business areas, specialization, solutions, and technologies to be showcased. Highlight new products separately, as they often influence the decision to include your stand in a visitor’s route.
2. Use your personal promo code as an audience attraction tool
Each exhibitor receives a unique code for free visitor registration. With a standard ticket price of 5,000 KZT for online registration and 10,000 KZT during exhibition days, free entry becomes a strong incentive.
The promo code reduces entry barriers, accelerates decision-making, and increases invitation conversion rates.
3. Build a systematic approach to your existing client base
The most productive negotiations are usually formed through existing contacts. It is important to establish a structured communication sequence: initial invitation, reminder, and meeting confirmation.
Each message should include the exhibition dates (April 8–10, 2026), venue (EXPO International Exhibition Center), city (Astana), and for international exhibitors — country (Kazakhstan), as well as your stand number and key innovations.
4. Schedule meetings before the exhibition opens
The most effective format of participation is a pre-arranged meeting schedule. A personal invitation with a proposed meeting time significantly increases the likelihood of a meaningful dialogue.
A pre-filled schedule allows you to manage stand activity and focus on target clients.
5. Emphasize innovation and practical value
Professional visitors attend exhibitions to discover new technologies and solutions. A general message such as “we are participating” is not sufficient.
Clearly state which technologies are presented for the first time, what updates have been implemented, what challenges your equipment solves, and what practical benefits it offers to clients.
6. Use social media for pre-exhibition audience engagement
Social media helps build anticipation before the exhibition opens. Announcements should be structured and include the event name, dates, stand number, innovations, and promo code.
It is recommended to use vertical formats for video and Stories and to tag official exhibition accounts to expand reach.
7. Record a video invitation
Video increases trust and is perceived as a personal message. The optimal duration is 30–60 seconds in vertical format.
The structure should include company introduction, confirmation of participation in Flora Expo Astana 2026, presentation of innovations, stand number, and promo code.
8. Publish participation details on your company website
Your official website remains a key information source for B2B audiences. A news announcement, detailed description of solutions, and a homepage banner allow visitors to prepare for meetings in advance.
According to UFI data, more than 80% of visitors review exhibitors’ websites before attending an exhibition.
9. Use targeted advertising to expand reach
Targeted advertising enables you to reach audiences beyond your existing database. You can promote participation posts or video invitations, targeting by job titles, geography, and professional interests.
This is particularly effective when promoting new technologies and innovative solutions.
10. Send a reminder 7–14 days before the opening
Final reminders are often underestimated. A repeated email campaign, Instagram Stories reminders, and re-sending the promo code one to two weeks before the exhibition significantly increase actual attendance.
More details can be found in the marketing guide.
Conclusion
Flora Expo Astana 2026 is three days onsite, but commercial performance is shaped during the preparation period. Companies that systematically use their exhibitor account, promo codes, personal invitations, social media, video, and advertising generate a managed flow of targeted visitors and achieve higher negotiation efficiency.
