Lead Capture Features
Trade show lead capture with badge scanning, lead notes, qualification tags, and instant CSV export.
Badge QR Scanning
Exhibitors scan attendee badge QR codes with any phone or tablet. Contact details transfer instantly — no typing, no card swapping.
Lead Notes & Qualification
Add notes, tags, and qualification scores right after scanning. "Hot lead — wants a demo" is more useful than a stack of business cards you'll never sort through.

See how many leads each booth scanned, which exhibitors are most active, and total lead counts updating live throughout the event.
CSV & CRM Export
Export all captured leads as CSV after the event. Ready for Salesforce, HubSpot, or any CRM. Each lead includes contact details, notes, tags, and scan timestamp.
Works with Any Phone or Tablet
No special hardware needed. Exhibitors scan badges using the camera on their own phone, iPad, or tablet.
Built into Micepad Badges
Every badge printed through Micepad already includes a QR code with attendee details. No extra setup — lead capture works automatically with your existing badges.

Frequently Asked Questions
Event lead capture software — also called a lead retrieval app — lets exhibitors and sponsors scan attendee badge QR codes to collect contact details digitally. It replaces paper business cards and manual data entry with instant scanning, notes, and CSV export. Essential for trade show lead capture.
Every Micepad badge includes a QR code with the attendee's name, company, email, and other registration details. Exhibitors open the Micepad app on their phone or tablet, scan the badge QR code, and the contact details are captured instantly. Add notes or tags, then move to the next lead.
No. Any phone or tablet with a camera works. Exhibitors use their own devices — no need to rent or purchase dedicated lead scanners.
Yes. After scanning a badge, exhibitors can add free-text notes, select qualification tags (hot, warm, cold), and rate the lead. All notes are included in the CSV export.
Exhibitors export their captured leads as a CSV file directly from the Micepad app. The export includes contact details, notes, tags, and scan timestamps — ready for import into Salesforce, HubSpot, or any CRM.

Your team runs events. Micepad runs the ops.
Every event generates the same pile of operational work. Import the attendee list. Clean the duplicates. Fix the formatting. Send the confirmations. Chase the bounces. Print the badges. Pull the attendance numbers. Write the post-event report. Multiply that across 20 events a year and you're not running events anymore — you're processing data.
Micepad agents handle that work automatically. They import messy CSVs and clean them — deduplicating records, standardizing names, flagging bad email addresses. They generate badges from your templates and send confirmation emails with bounce handling built in. They monitor check-in in real time, alerting you when a session hits capacity. After the event, they compile attendance reports, no-show rates, and engagement scores without anyone pulling numbers into a spreadsheet.
The creative and relational work stays with your team, where it belongs. Speaker logistics, sponsor relationships, making sure the room feels right — that's where your team adds value. The data processing is where agents add theirs.
