Event lead capture for exhibitors and sponsors

Event intelligence for every event
and trade show you exhibit or sponsor at.

Capture every contact, content view, meeting and conversation from the show floor, then sync it to your CRM. Works offline. Works at any event, without an organiser's scanner.

Built for B2B exhibitors and sponsors running 4+ events a year. The goal is turning booth conversations into pipeline, not just collecting badge scans.

Why follow-up fails

The booth worked. The follow-up didn't.

Events create real buying signals, and they often get lost in the gap between the booth and the CRM. See Trade Show Marketing and Event-Led Marketing for how we close that gap.

Without BoothMaven

Cards go in a pocket, then a drawer.

Business cards sit in an inbox for a week. By the time anyone follows up, the buyer has forgotten the conversation.

With BoothMaven

Scan, score, sync.

Badge, card or QR captured in one tap with Lead Capture. Scored Hot, Warm or Cold at capture. Sent to HubSpot or Salesforce once the device reconnects.

Without BoothMaven

Badge scans become a CSV.

Exports land in a shared drive. Nobody owns the import. The pipeline value of the event never reaches the CRM.

With BoothMaven

Every conversation becomes context.

Voice notes sync to the contact as attachments, with the transcript on request. Content views come back with a name attached through Buyer Intent Signals.

Without BoothMaven

The CRM gets paused for the show.

Reps work in a temporary tool for three days, then someone re-enters everything by hand, often days later and often with errors.

With BoothMaven

Your CRM keeps running.

No temporary tool. CRM Sync covers the event days and hands everything back to your existing system.

Without BoothMaven

ROI is a guess.

Leadership asks what the show produced. The answer is a spreadsheet, not a number. The event gets cut next year.

With BoothMaven

One dashboard. One number.

Leads captured, meetings held and follow-up sent, attributed back to the event in Event Dashboards. Pipeline and revenue come from your CRM.

The four signals of event intelligence

Capture the contact, the content, the conversation and the meeting.

This is event intelligence software for exhibitors: the show floor is offline, your CRM is online, and leads can slip in between. BoothMaven carries the contact, the content they engaged with, the conversation you had and the meeting you booked from the booth into HubSpot or Salesforce.

1Contact Offline CRM-ready

Every contact,
every way in.

Trade show lead capture or conference lead capture: any path in, one path out to a clean, scored contact record in your CRM.

2Content Offline View-tracked

Digital collateral that
tracks every view.

Replace the brochure nobody can follow up on. Share a content microsite, a QR or a file. Views come back attached to the contact through Buyer Intent Signals where the viewer is known.

3Conversation Offline Searchable

Voice notes, attached to the contact.

The objection, the buying signal, the small aside that turns into the deal, captured in the moment with Voice Notes and searchable later.

  • One-tap voice notes recorded at the booth
  • Voice notes sync to the CRM as attachments on the contact
  • Transcript on request, attached to the same contact
  • Add text notes alongside voice
  • Tag notes with intent, objections and follow-ups
4Meeting Offline CRM-synced

Book it before
they walk away.

On the spot, or before the doors open. Every booked slot syncs to your CRM with Meeting Booking and can start the follow-up sequence you set.

  • On-booth meeting booking, no email ping-pong
  • Meetings booked before the event as well as during it
  • Syncs to the CRM alongside the contact
  • Follow-up sequences run on the triggers you set via Email Sequences
  • Confirmed, rescheduled or cancelled, all tracked
Five roles, one event record

Different teams judge the same show by different numbers.

Exhibitor lead capture looks different to each role. The field marketer has to defend the booth budget. The sales director is chasing meetings, not badges. The CMO wants pipeline contribution. RevOps wants data that does not need cleaning. The founder wants an events engine that runs without them. BoothMaven gives every role the number they are accountable for, from the same event record. See all roles or the Marketing Operations page.

Defend every dollar of the booth budget.

Leadership does not want a badge count. They want to know what the show produced. BoothMaven replaces "we scanned 400 people" with a connected record: contacts, content engagement, meetings booked and follow-up sent, with the opportunities in your CRM.

  • Per-event view of captures, meetings booked and follow-up sent
  • Content and QR engagement tracked by name
  • One record across every event you run

The best Event lead capture for your industry

From a 10x10 booth at a regional trade fair to a flagship industry congress, BoothMaven adapts to the audience profile and scale of your show. Whether you are capturing a handful of qualified conversations or hundreds of badge scans a day, the same platform records the contact, the content, the conversation and the meeting, then syncs it to your CRM.

Every industry, every audience. Buyers at a manufacturing expo look different from clinicians at a medtech congress or developers at a SaaS summit. BoothMaven works the same way at all of them.

FAQs

Everything you need to know about BoothMaven

Feature-specific questions live on their own pages. These are the ones about BoothMaven itself.

About BoothMaven

What is BoothMaven?

BoothMaven is event lead capture and intelligence software for exhibitors and sponsors at trade shows, conferences and other events. It covers everything after the scan as well: qualification, content sharing, meeting booking and CRM sync. It replaces business cards, badge-scanner exports and paper follow-up lists with one connected mobile app.

What stages of an event does BoothMaven cover?

BoothMaven covers the full arc of an event: meetings booked before the event, on-site capture and qualification at the booth, content sharing and meeting booking during the show, and CRM sync plus follow-up sequences once the event ends. For the wider operational view, see Event Management.

Does BoothMaven replace my CRM?

No. BoothMaven runs alongside HubSpot, Salesforce or whatever CRM your team already uses. You keep working in your existing system before and after the event. BoothMaven covers capture during the event days and syncs everything back to your CRM.

Does BoothMaven work without internet access at the booth?

Yes. The mobile app captures, scans and qualifies contacts without a connection. Records queue on the device and sync to your CRM when the device is back online, so a venue with patchy Wi-Fi does not put leads at risk.

Who is BoothMaven built for?

BoothMaven is built for B2B exhibitors and sponsors running four or more events a year: the field marketers, sales directors, marketing leaders, RevOps teams and founders who need to capture qualified leads at events and turn them into pipeline.

What is the difference between lead capture and lead retrieval?

Lead capture is broader than lead retrieval. Lead capture includes badge scanning, but also business cards, QR codes and manual entry, plus qualification, scoring and sync to your CRM. Lead retrieval typically refers only to reading a badge, often with a device rented from the show organiser.

Do I need the organiser's scanner?

No. BoothMaven works with the phone or tablet your team already carries. It reads standard event badges, business cards and QR codes without renting a scanner from the show organiser, and works at any event whether or not it has an official app.

Which CRMs does BoothMaven work with?

BoothMaven has native integrations with HubSpot and Salesforce, and connects to thousands of other tools through Zapier. It can also be reached by any MCP-compatible AI assistant, for example ChatGPT, for custom workflows.

Support

What support is included with BoothMaven?

Onboarding help is included to get your team ready before your first event, plus email and in-app support during the event itself. Support stays available while you are live at the booth, which is when a stuck scan or a sync issue actually costs you a lead.

Do I get help during the event itself?

Yes. Support is available while you are live at the booth, not just before or after. A stuck scan or a sync issue during the show is exactly when it costs you a lead.

Do my booth staff need training to use it?

The app is built for booth staff to pick up quickly, and onboarding materials are included to get the team ready ahead of the event. Teams can start capturing leads the same day they sign up, with no formal training session required.
