Best New Event Technology Finalists

Attendify Leads, the socially enabled lead retrieval solution

The traditional lead generation solutions are broken. Exhibitors either collect business cards, fill out paper lead forms or use lead scanners to capture leads. These old techniques simply don’t gather enough data, and none of these options provide exhibitors with real-time behavioral information about prospects, so they can connect and engage on a deeper level.Attendify Leads connects analog old-school Lead Scanning practice with today’s reality, where events are becoming more and more social. The solution is easy to set up, it provides custom surveys creation, real-time social notification and intelligent engagement tools.Attendify Leads is a standalone app that does not require an internet connection to process leads so it can be used in any venue even without a wireless network.Read full entry here
