Events are chaotic. Your
lead capture shouldn’t be.

Streamline event workflows, remove manual work, and follow up faster with the context you need to win more business.

Leads go missing

Lead scanning tools vary by event: unreliable systems that leave 65% of leads out of the CRM.

Context gets lost

Event scanners and CRM forms can’t capture the context of conversations, so your follow-ups get generic.

Follow-ups get delayed

Manually uploading a patchy CSV file from the event creates unnecessary delays and room for error.

Attribution is absent

Without clean lead data and context, it’s hard to measure the direct ROI on event spend.

Your current solution

A different scanner at every event

Rented scanners are pricey and force you to rebuild new workflows each show.

Leads that get lost

Paper cards stack up at the booth and up to 70% of leads never make it to the CRM.

Cold by the time you follow up

By the time leads hit the CRM, the conversation has gone stale, and so has the lead's interest.

Contacts without context

Forms capture names but miss the details from the conversation that drive deals forward.

No proof of what drove revenue

Your team can't prove ROI - or make the case for next year's event budget.

Campaigns & ROI

Know exactly what your event is worth

Set up your event campaign once. Every lead tags, attributes and reports itself from there.

Create each event as a campaign with its goals, dates, budget, lead value, reps on the floor and more. From then on, every lead your team captures in that window is automatically tagged to the event and synced to your CRM campaign. Measure cost per lead and pipeline by event, rep and region, and walk into budget season knowing which events paid you back.
Run multiple campaigns at once, each with its own assigned reps and targets.
Build custom capture forms per campaign, for the qualifiers that matter at each event.
Prove event ROI with end-to-end, event-to-pipeline attribution.

1. Set up

Create an event campaign with dates, reps assigned, cost, revenue goals and more, synced to your CRM.

2. Auto-tag

Every lead scanned in that window is attributed to the event automatically
- no rep input needed.

3. Measure

Leads, tags and notes flow into your
CRM campaign in real time, ready for
ROI reporting.

Lead qualifiers

Qualify the lead before the conversation ends

Capture the answers that decide the follow-up, while you're still face to face.

Set up the questions that matter to your team: product interest, budget, decision maker, timeline, anything you'd otherwise chase down a week later. Your reps answer them in a tap, and the answers sync to your CRM as clean fields to support your follow-up.

Frequently asked questions

Capturing leads

Does the scanner work across every badge?

Yes. If you can take a picture of it, Blinq can read it. It works across all event badge types, QR codes, paper business cards and more, without relying on event-specific scanning apps.

Does Blinq replace event-provided badge scanners?

Yes. Blinq works at every event, so there's nothing to rent and one consistent workflow across your whole calendar. Where the organizer grants badge API access, we plug straight in.

Does it work offline?

Yes. Your team can keep scanning, tagging and taking notes without a connection. Every lead enriches and syncs the moment you're back online. Built for convention centre dead zones, not just perfect WiFi.

Can we capture leads at an unmanned booth?

Yes. You can use the QR code from your custom form in Lead Capture mode and have visitors share their details and fill out qualifiers straight into your CRM.

Can we manually create leads and have them enriched?

Yes. You can manually create a lead in the Blinq app and it will enrich based on the fields provided. In most cases, we just need the first name, last name and company name.

Data & enrichment

What does AI enrichment add?

The details you need to follow up with context: verified email address, phone, company information and LinkedIn profile.

How accurate is the AI enrichment?

Blinq’s AI enrichment is 95%+ accurate. This is enabled by a waterfall of 25+ trusted external data providers, using the most accurate providers for each data point. Blinq fills a field only when it finds high-confidence data, then AI verifies, deduplicates and selects the best value. Every field stays editable, so you can review and adjust at any time.

Does AI enrichment overwrite our existing data?

No. Blinq adds to a record and never overwrites what's already in your CRM.

How is Blinq’s AI enrichment different to regular data waterfall solutions?

Unlike standard data waterfalls which are linear, Blinq has developed a proprietary enrichment algorithm that combines 25+ trusted external data partners with AI that completes additional searches and data matching. This boosts data coverage up to 95% for which is well above standard waterfalls which typically return 65-70%.

CRM

Which CRMs do you support?

Native, real-time integrations with HubSpot, Salesforce, Microsoft Dynamics and Marketo, including their campaign objects, plus Zoho and Pipedrive, and thousands more tools through Zapier.

Will this create duplicate contacts in my CRM?

No. Blinq matches on email, so an existing contact is updated with the new notes, tags and event context rather than duplicated. Re-scans of the same badge are recognized and counted once.

Can we control which leads sync to our CRM?

Yes. Auto-sync is on by default so leads flow in real time. If your team prefers to, you are able to manually review and approve which leads from each campaign get pushed through to your CRM.

Lead qualifiers & campaigns

Can we set custom qualifiers and tags?

Yes. For each campaign, admins can preset the questions and tags that matter to your team, and reps answer them at capture. They sync to your CRM as structured fields.

Can we run more than one event at a time?

Yes. Run multiple events as separate campaigns at once, each with its own team, targets and capture forms.

General

What is event lead capture? 

Event lead capture - also called exhibitor lead capture or trade show lead capture - is the process of collecting, qualifying, and managing leads at in-person events like conferences and exhibitions. It replaces older methods like badge scanners with a universal lead capture app, instant data enrichment, and CRM sync.

What is lead retrieval?

Lead retrieval is the process exhibitors use to capture attendee contact information at trade shows and conferences. Traditionally, this meant renting a badge scanner from the event organiser, exporting a CSV at the end of the show, and manually loading it into your CRM. Modern lead retrieval apps like Blinq let teams scan any badge, enrich contacts with verified data, and sync leads to their CRM in real time - at any event, without renting hardware.

What makes the best trade show lead capture app?

It typically comes down to four things. (1) Universal capture: badges, paper cards and QR codes, with the ability to work both online and offline. (2) High quality data enrichment, so a scan becomes a complete lead. (3) Real-time native CRM integrations for seamless data syncing. (4) A way to retain the conversation, not just the contact. Blinq was built around all four, which is why it's the G2 Leader and Easiest to Use in Lead Retrieval.

What security and compliance does Blinq have?

Blinq is SOC 2 Type II certified and GDPR compliant, with SSO support. See our Trust Center, Privacy Policy and Terms for detail.

Pricing & Billing

How does pricing work for Event Lead Capture?

Event Lead Capture features available to use within Blinq Business. Leads captured are charged for on a consumption basis, with each enriched lead consuming one credit. For a full credit pricing breakdown and bulk discounts, book a demo with our team.

How does billing work for duplicate scans?

Credits are not consumed for duplicate captures of the same contact, so no charge will be incurred.

What happens if Blinq is unable to enrich a lead?

If Blinq is unable to find a verified email or phone for a lead that is captured, only a partial credit will be consumed. For full details, see our help centre.
