We hit every attendee from three directions before the show opens — conference app DM, email, and LinkedIn — all personalized, all coordinated. You walk in with 15–25 meetings already on your calendar.
For exhibitors, sponsors, speakers, and anyone attending who needs meetings.

Why It Works
The same prospect who ignores 200 emails a day has 0–2 messages in their conference app inbox. You're not competing for attention. You own it.
Cold Email
Buried under 200+ emails. Spam filters. They never see it.
~0%
reply rate
50+ connection requests a week. Everyone's doing it. You're noise.
~0%
reply rate
Conference App DM
0–2 messages in their inbox. They downloaded the app to network. Your message is the only one.
~0%
reply rate
People at the conference mentioned they saw our message in the app and came to find our booth.
The message and the booth exist in the same context. That's recognition email can never create.
The Campaign
You give us 5 things in 10 minutes. We run the whole campaign — app scrape, DM blast, email sequence, LinkedIn outreach — and hand you back meetings.
Week Before
You give us event app login credentials. That's it — 5 minutes of setup.

Day −7
300–600 DMs sent through the conference app. Each personalized. You're the only message in their inbox.

Subject references the app DM
Day −5
Targeted connection + short note. By now they've seen you in-app, via email, and on LinkedIn.

Third touchpoint — omnipresence
Day 1
15–25 meetings on your calendar. Attendees know your name before you shake hands.
The Difference
Before Day 1, every attendee who matches your ICP sees your name in three places — coordinated, personalized, impossible to miss.

The Problem
$5.4 billion wasted annually on trade show leads that die in a spreadsheet.
70%
decide before Day 1
Most attendees plan which booths to visit before the show opens. If you're not on their schedule, you're fighting for whoever wanders by.
6%
feel confident they convert
Only 6% of exhibitors feel confident they can turn event leads into deals. The other 94% know their outreach is broken.
$0
spent on pre-show outreach
You'll spend $20–50K on a booth, travel, and staff. The outreach plan? "We'll just see who stops by."
Your boss asks: “How'd the show go?”
You say: “Good conversations. Got some cards.”
Three weeks later, the badge scans are in a spreadsheet. Nobody's followed up. The “good conversations” turned into nothing.
Or —
You walk in with 20 meetings on your calendar. You leave with 3 proposals out and a $150K pipeline. Your boss doesn't ask how it went — they already saw the Calendly confirmations.
Who's Behind This
I built the outreach systems behind ShowSDR over two years — including the proprietary technology that makes conference app messaging possible at scale. Our first campaign sent 603 personalized DMs, 590 emails, and 490 LinkedIn touches in 48 hours. Attendees mentioned the app message at the physical conference and came to find the booth.
I personally oversee every campaign. That's why we cap at 4 clients per conference.

~$125 per booked meeting
6% of a $40K booth. Not an expense — insurance that the other 94% was worth it.
What you're spending vs. what this costs
ShowSDR = 6% of your booth cost. Not an add-on — it's the ROI multiplier on the other 94%.
What if your competitor at the same show is doing this?
They walk in with 20 meetings booked. Their booth has a line on Day 1. The first company to message attendees through the app wins. Everyone else competes for scraps.

FAQ
That's what the app is for. Attendees download it to network and plan meetings. A personalized message from a relevant exhibitor is exactly what they're hoping to find. The 15–30% reply rate proves it.
We've built proprietary systems for conference app outreach that took over two years to develop. Every message is sent through the real app, the same way a human would — because that's the only way to do it.
We scrape emails directly from the conference app attendee data and enrich with LinkedIn profiles. The email references the app DM, and the LinkedIn note references both. Three touches, one coherent story — they can't not notice you.
Absolutely. Speakers, sponsors, investors, anyone walking the floor — you still need meetings. We pull the list, find your matches, and hit all three channels. Same result: a full calendar before you land.
Your SDRs use email and LinkedIn — 2–5% reply rates. We add the conference app DM — 15–30% reply rates — and run all three channels in a coordinated sequence. This isn't a replacement, it's a force multiplier.
3–4 weeks is ideal. 2 weeks is the minimum. Attendee lists appear in the app 1–3 weeks before the event. The earlier we start, the more meetings we book.
Full refund within 7 days of campaign completion if you're not satisfied. No hoops, no argument. We'd rather refund you than have an unhappy client.
Right now, the event app inbox is empty. That won't last.
Attendee lists go live 1–3 weeks before the event. Once the show starts, the window closes.
