Highbar Lead Retrieval
What it is
Highbar Lead Retrieval is part of Highbar’s event app, combining exhibitor lead capture with attendee information and networking. Exhibitors scan leads with their own phones inside the event app, without separate scanner hardware or another app. Each scan records the lead’s full event activity, while organizers can review scans across exhibitors in a dashboard and export data. Attendees can exchange contacts through the scan feature for free. The app includes schedules, speaker and sponsor profiles, indoor maps, attendee profiles, private messaging, and networking tools. An AI concierge answers natural-language questions about speakers, sessions, sponsors, and venues. A networking agent matches people by stated goals and explains its recommendations. Organizers can publish an app with a self-serve builder in about 45 minutes; attendees join from a link without downloading. Android, iOS, and web access are listed. Pricing includes a free plan, pay-per-use options, and annual packages. HubSpot and Salesforce integrations are listed for Roadshow.
