What can visitors expect at the Openindex stand?
Visitors to the Openindex booth can expect hands-on demonstrations, open conversations, and practical answers to their data and search challenges. We are not there to give a rehearsed sales pitch.

How can you schedule a meeting with Openindex at Data Expo?
The easiest way to schedule a meeting with us at Data Expo Utrecht is to get in touch before the event. Pre-booked meetings mean we can give you dedicated time and attention rather than a rushed conversation between walk-ins.
Here is how to arrange a meeting:
- Reach out in advance via our website contact form to let us know you will be attending and what you would like to discuss
- Suggest a time slot that works for you during the event days, and we will confirm availability
- Walk up on the day if you prefer a more spontaneous conversation. Our team will always make time for visitors at the stand
Scheduled meetings work particularly well if you have a specific use case in mind, such as a large-scale crawling project, a custom search integration, or a data pipeline you want to discuss in detail. Giving us a heads-up means we can prepare relevant examples and bring the right person into the conversation.
