The event brings people together.Make the preparation count.
01Start with a better short list
A room full of people. A reason to meet a few.
Lanyard helps discover relevant conferences and research the people connected to them. It ranks prospects against your audience criteria and keeps the evidence and reasoning close to the recommendation.
Review the fit, inspect the attendance context, selectively enrich contact details and approve the people worth pursuing. Export the research into the wider commercial workflow.

Prospect 01
Revenue operations leader
Strong role fit
Prioritize for review
Event evidence
Listed as a speaker in this year’s published program.
Why the fit matters
Their responsibilities connect to the exhibitor’s offer. The panel topic gives the team a specific reason to prepare a conversation.
The judgment
A program listing is useful evidence. Check for changes before planning the meeting.
Next step
Review the prospect, confirm the context and prepare a relevant invitation.
Prospect 02
Chief revenue officer
Strong role fit
Verify this year
Event evidence
Appears in last year’s event material. Current-year attendance has not been established.
Why the fit matters
The role may fit the audience, but a good match and a current attendee are two different things.
The judgment
Keep the historical date attached to the record. Do not write “see you there” based on last year’s list.
Next step
Research current participation before using the conference as the reason to reach out.
Prospect 03
Sales leader
Potential role fit
More research needed
Event evidence
The company is listed as a sponsor. There is no evidence that this individual will attend.
Why the fit matters
Company participation can guide research into relevant people. It does not establish which employees are going.
The judgment
Preserve that distinction in the record and in any outreach.
Next step
Find a current person-level source or use a different, supportable reason to engage.
Attendance evidence and contact coverage vary. Current event sources, historical participation and possible attendance should remain distinguishable throughout the workflow.
02The Redline conference play
Make the conference a commercial program.
Lanyard supplies the conference research and prioritization. Redline connects that intelligence to sender-specific outreach, prepared meetings and accountable follow-up.
The program is scoped around your team, systems and event. Product research, campaign execution and sales follow-up each have a defined job and an owner.
01
Before the event
Earn a place on the calendar.
Choose the event around your audience and offer. Review the prospect shortlist, confirm the attendance context and account for existing relationships. Enrich priority contacts and build invitations around a specific reason to meet.
A reviewed audience. A relevant invitation. An owner for each conversation.
02
During the event
Arrive with something to talk about.
Give the team concise context: who the person is, why the account fits, what matters to them and where a useful conversation could begin. Capture the actual discussion and agree a next step while it is still fresh.
Prepared people. Useful notes. A clear next move.
03
After the event
Carry the conversation forward.
Follow up on what was discussed. Route the next action to the right person, coordinate the sequence and track meaningful replies, meetings and opportunities. Review what moved and what needs a different approach.
Specific follow-up. Clear responsibility. An opportunity trail.
~$150KReported qualified pipeline from conference follow-up
The July 2026 review recorded 18 meaningful replies, seven to eight meetings and four opportunities.
Results from the broader Redline engagement, not attributed solely to Lanyard. Pipeline is opportunity value, not closed revenue or a forecast for another program.
