LEAD RETRIEVAL
Lead Retrieval will be available through Visit Connect to all exhibitors and sponsors at no extra charge.
Lead Retrieval Setup
This is done via the same portal as pass registration. Your main company contact can login to the dashboard to see the options "TEAM", "QUESTIONS" and "LEADS" on the left hand side:
- TEAM – register your colleagues attending the show and they will automatically be setup to scan badges onsite to create your leads
- QUESTIONS – add an unlimited amount of qualifying questions for your leads
- LEADS – this will show a comprehensive, real-time list of leads scanned by your entire onsite team
You have real-time access to the latest leads from your onsite scan data, which can be downloaded at any time as a CSV spreadsheet. Four weeks before the event you will receive an email instructing how your team can access lead retrieval through their personal devices via the ConnectMe app.
Your Full Lead Report
Before the event begins you will receive login credentials to access your Alchemy lead dashboard, which details all your interactions with delegates on the event app in addition to onsite scans at your sessions and booth. This report updates automatically before, during, and after the event.
Exhibiting Sustainably
At Informa Connect, we have an ambition to become a champion of sustainability within our business and across the specialist markets we serve.
As part of our FasterForward programme, we have committed to a series of specific and ambitious goals and activities that, over a five year period, will help us become an ever more sustainable, high impact business while supporting and accelerating change in our markets.
BETTER STANDS
Through our commitment to the evolution of the exhibitions industry, we aim to ensure that we are delivering the best possible experience for our customers. We believe that by moving away from the use of disposable exhibition booth we will improve the ease, quality, safety and sustainability of the exhibitor experience at our events. Therefore, as part of event regulation we ask that exhibitors do not use disposable booth. Disposable booths are defined as space only stands made to be used only once which are usually constructed from raw materials at the venue during build up and the main structure is disposed of after the event.

**We are specifying that any freebuild exhibitors must demonstrate evidence at both the design concept and build methodology that your stand’s core structural materials are re-useable or recycled
