Events have evolved over the past few years. Booths are packed, conversations move quickly, and visitors expect smooth interactions from the moment they arrive. But even with all this progress, one challenge hasn’t gone away:
How do exhibitors capture every important conversation and actually remember it when the event ends?
Most teams still rely on business cards, hurried notes, scattered spreadsheets, or memory alone. And once the event wraps up, it becomes hard to recall who said what, which visitor showed serious interest, or what the next step should be. That’s exactly where a structured lead capture system becomes essential.
Why Lead Capture Matters More Than Ever
If you’ve ever stood at a booth for a full-day event, you know how fast it all blends together. You may speak to a hundred people in a few hours – each with different questions, needs, and goals. Without a proper system, exhibitors often end up with:
- Missing or incomplete visitor data
- Difficulty recalling conversations
- Unclear follow-up priorities
- No centralised place to store notes
- No insights on what visitors interacted with during the event
And even after a successful event, these gaps can lead to missed opportunities.
That’s why today, many teams have started moving toward modern event lead capture tools -not to make things complicated, but to make every conversation easier to remember and act on.
Where Traditional Processes Fall Short
Even experienced teams face the same frustrations:
1. Paper forms & business cards disappear – They get mixed, piled, or forgotten before they’re ever digitised.
2. Memory fades quickly – People remember faces, but not specifics:
Was she the one asking about bulk pricing or school partnerships?
3. Follow-ups become overwhelming – With no tags or context, sorting leads takes days.
4. No behaviour insights – Traditional methods don’t show what visitors did around the venue – sessions they attended, stalls they visited, or interests they expressed.
5. No single place to download leads – Leads end up scattered across forms, WhatsApp, and notes, making it hard to download everything in one clean list.
These limitations make post-event work slower and less effective.
How we track leads for your Booth
See TicketRoot’s Lead Capture feature
Instead of scattered data and half-remembered discussions, TicketRoot turns every interaction into a complete, organised profile that feels connected to the moment it came from. Here’s how TicketRoot fits naturally into your workflow:
1. Smart Badges Printed with Built-In QR Codes
TicketRoot prints high-quality badges on-site, each embedded with a unique QR code.
These codes are designed to work with TicketRoot’s Scan User feature, enabling instant lead capture with zero setup.
2. Instant Lead Scanning
Just scan a badge or QR – visitor details appear instantly.
No typing, no errors, no stress.
3. Notes in Seconds
If a visitor shares an insight or preference, you can add it immediately.
This makes follow-ups warmer, more personal, and more relevant.
4. Lead Qualification Made Simple
Sort visitors by interest, budget, or intent – so you always know who to reach out to first.
5. Selfie Recall (A small touch with big impact)
When exhibitors and visitors take a quick selfie, both receive an email and are automatically tagged together.
People who choose to connect also receive an instant email notification, making networking smooth and effortless.This helps teams remember faces, context, and conversations- because human memory is visual. It also makes follow-ups feel far more thoughtful.
6.Complete Behaviour Insights
See what each visitor did throughout the event – booths they visited, sessions they attended, interactions they enjoyed.
This helps exhibitors craft follow-ups that feel relevant, not generic.
Together, these features give you more than just data. They give you meaningful context, organised leads, and a clear path forward.
7.Organiser-Enabled Lead Capture for Exhibitors
Event organisers can enable the Lead Capture feature for all exhibitors or stall owners.
This ensures no team misses out on critical conversations and helps them retain every lead in real time and not lose valuable data during the event.
8.All Leads, Downloaded in One Place
No more searching through forms, apps, or scattered spreadsheets. TicketRoot lets you download every lead from every team member in one clean, central file – ready for your CRM or sales workflow.
