At an automotive aftermarket show you meet distributors, workshop owners, fleet buyers and importers in three busy days, and most of them leave with a bag of brochures and no easy way back to you. An Automechanika Dubai 2026 digital business card plan fixes that: one card per person, a QR code that scans from the aisle, and a simple routine that turns scans into conversations. This guide uses a MyInfo card and only features the product really has.
What we verified about Automechanika Dubai 2026
According to reporting by WAM and the organiser's press release, Automechanika Dubai runs from 10 to 12 November 2026 at the Dubai Exhibition Centre in Expo City Dubai, its first edition at that venue. Exhibitor numbers differ between sources, so we do not quote one. Dates, halls and registration can change, so confirm them with the organiser or your exhibitor or visitor confirmation before you book travel or a stand.
Why parts and workshop deals need a card
Aftermarket buying is relationship-driven: a distributor wants your catalogue, your brands, your minimum order and a WhatsApp number to ask about stock. Paper cards get lost between stands. A card that opens with one scan and saves you to the phone keeps those details together and stays current if your range or contact changes. For the dealer side, see digital business cards for car dealers.
Exhibitors: one card per person, one for the stand
Give every person on the stand their own card so a buyer reaches the person they spoke to, and use one shared theme so the team looks like one company (create a card for your team). Then duplicate a card for the show with a clear address, your hall and stand number, and a top action such as WhatsApp or a catalogue link. Add a short text section for brands carried and markets served (text sections). A card holds Arabic and English together (Arabic and English on one card), useful for buyers from across the region.
Make the stand code scannable
Exhibition halls have uneven light and crowded aisles. Print the QR code large, leave a blank margin, avoid glossy panels, and add a line such as "Scan to save our contact". See QR code size and placement and the QR code business card page. Test with an iPhone and an Android phone from the distance a visitor will stand.
Capture and follow up leads
The free card lets visitors save your contact. To receive their details as well, you need Premium, which adds an Exchange Contact form, a lead inbox and CSV export (lead capture). Premium is unlocked with a licence PIN from a partner; see activate a licence PIN. Plans apply per card, so you can upgrade only the show card.
MyInfo does not scan event badges; organiser badge scanning is a separate system. When you collect personal details, say why (PDPL and your digital business card). Each evening, export your leads into your CRM (export your leads) and message everyone within a day (follow up within 24 hours).
Visitors: garages, distributors and fleet buyers
If you are walking the halls, create your free card before the show and test it on your phone. Put your business, specialities and WhatsApp link first, and keep your QR code on the lock screen (QR code on a phone lock screen or badge).
