Frequently asked questions

Got questions? We’re here to help!

What exactly is Attendist?

Attendist helps event organisers close more leads, faster. We automate attendee data capture (check-in, LinkedIn insights, instant lead notifications) so you can follow up while prospects are still interested, not days later when they've cooled. Designed for sustainable events that grow revenue.

How does Attendist benefit me?

Attendist takes the manual work out of capturing and qualifying leads at your events. AI handles the data (who's interested, their LinkedIn context, the speed needed to close them) so you focus on the conversations that convert.

Go from burning hours searching social for details on decision makers to receiving email addresses of likely prospects, plus actionable insights from LinkedIn.

We don't just stop there. Our innovative sustainable name badge helps your attendees create and nurture their personal network of leads and contacts from your event.

Attendees can personalise their badge ahead of time so it shows them the way they want to be seen. Each badge also carries a QR code that other guests can scan to pull up the wearer's profile, no app required.

Using Attendist, attendees receive personalised messages for sending LinkedIn connection requests to their newly found contacts.

We empower you to elevate the attendee experience by facilitating connections and making introductions between attendees with similar interests before the event.

Attendees can send each other a handshake (a polite request to meet) and reply Accept, Decline, or 'Not now,' so plans are made before the event, not left to chance.

If an attendee can't make it after sending or accepting a handshake, they can send a polite apology through Attendist, so the person they were due to meet isn't left wondering and the door stays open for next time.

For sponsors, exhibitors, and speakers, Attendist adds an extra step: each can declare two or three statements describing the audiences they want to hear from ('looking for office space now,' 'open to discussing funding,' and so on). Senders pick the closest match when requesting a handshake, so inbound conversations are pre-qualified rather than mis-targeted.

Attendist also delivers rich post-event data and analytics for the organiser: contacts generated, leads captured, attendee-written reviews, and verified-check-in testimonials (quotes from real attendees, marked with a Verified Check-in badge for trust). A post-event report combines all the stats for sharing with the team or stakeholders.

Benefit from powerful event promotion on LinkedIn with the See Who's Coming page, updated in real-time and designed for sharing on social media.

When the same event sells across multiple registration pages, each with its own start or end time, the default badge would show every attendee the same times. Attendist uses pre-event questions to let attendees self-select which group they belong to, and each person's digital badge then shows the times that match their selection.

Running a seated dinner rather than a conference? Attendist supports that format too, with tent-style place cards instead of lanyard badges. Each card carries the same QR code, so guests can still scan to connect over dinner.

Running events as a team? Pro plans add Organisations and team members, so colleagues share dashboard access without sharing logins.

Can Attendist help me improve my leads?

Attendist helps you grow sales by automating data capture from events.

Attendist cannot improve the quality of leads but it can help maximise the lifetime value of qualified leads generated from your events.

You're 100 times more likely to connect with a lead if you follow up with them in less than five minutes. Less than 5% of companies call a lead within 24 hours however. (Research from Harvard Business Review and MIT.)

If you're putting on events to generate leads, Attendist makes it easy to connect immediately with those warm prospects that attended and nurture the relationship, increasing their lifetime value.

Can Attendist increase my sales?

Yes! Rapid follow-up with leads can increase conversion rates by a factor of 4.

Typically, it takes up to three days after the event to gather the data needed to qualify a prospect that attended.

Attendist automates an incredibly manual and time-consuming process with a simple user interface that supports all event ticketing platforms including Eventbrite, Ticket Tailor, Luma, Cvent, and more, exports to any major customer relationship management (CRM) tool via CSV (with native HubSpot integration on our roadmap), and adds actionable insights about each attendee from LinkedIn.

This means you can make a personalised offer to each warm prospect at the moment that suits you, whether that's ahead of the event or there and then in person on the day, increasing the likelihood of converting them. You also stop warm leads going cold.

With Attendist, these two factors combine to ensure that your conversion rate goes up and with that comes more sales.

What does Attendist deliver?

Attendist:

  • captures attendee intent before the event with pre-event questions, so 'Yes' answers reach you while interest is fresh
  • sends sponsors, speakers, and exhibitors instant leads when attendees click 'Tell Me More' on their profile
  • replaces plastic lanyards and pouches with sustainable card badges, cutting single-use plastic at every event
  • AI-matches attendees ahead of time and lets them send handshakes to set up conversations before the event

What does Attendist give me?

Your time back! Save valuable time by eliminating manual and repetitive tasks. Focus instead on building trusted relationships that bring in more revenue. The team at Attendist have lived experience of the problem of leads going cold and have made it our mission to make your life easier.

Will Attendist cut down my event costs?

Yes! Attendist saves you time and money and cuts the cost of acquiring new customers.

Which CRM platforms does Attendist support?

For now, Attendist exports event data as a CSV that any major CRM (Salesforce, Pipedrive, Zoho, Dynamics, HubSpot, and others) imports directly. Native HubSpot integration is on our roadmap.

How do I access my data?

Data from your event is available for export as an Excel-compatible .csv file, ready to import into any major CRM. Native HubSpot integration is on our roadmap.

Is Attendist secure?

We know how important this is, so yes. From providing Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) to storing your data securely in the cloud, we are committed to keeping you safe.

How does Attendist use AI?

We use AI to do all that attendee match-making but it's down to you to use the human touch to make the connection. Our machine learning algorithms and data science work behind the scenes to give you all that you need to to add a uniquely personal human touch to your follow up and close the deal.
