"I scanned a HAND-WRITTEN badge and watched BoothIQ load up all the lead's info, LinkedIn URL included. Say no to garbage conference apps."Ben Chaikin CTO, Talent Llama
Lead Retrieval App for Trade Shows
Scan any badge with your phone. Capture context with voice memos. AI handles the rest.
You paid $20K for the event. Now what?
By most estimates, 80% of trade show leads never get followed up on. The ones that do wait an average of six days. By then, your prospect has 200 emails and no memory of your conversation. Most lead retrieval apps capture just a name and move on. That's the problem.

Frequently asked questions
What is a lead retrieval app?
A lead retrieval app captures contact information from trade show attendees using your phone. Instead of renting badge scanners or collecting business cards, you scan badges, cards, or name tags with your camera and the app extracts the contact details automatically.
What can BoothIQ scan?
Anything with contact information. Badges, business cards, handwritten notes, even a bar napkin. Our AI reads printed and handwritten text, extracts the contact info, and enriches it with full details.
Do I need to rent a badge scanner for my trade show?
No. BoothIQ turns your phone into a badge scanner that works at any event. Rental scanners cost $200 to $500 per event and only work with that event's badge format. BoothIQ uses AI to read any badge, at any event, for a fraction of the cost.
How much does it cost?
BoothIQ is free for individuals. Team plans are $499/mo with unlimited seats, unlimited events, and no per-lead fees.
Does it work without WiFi?
Yes, BoothIQ works 100% offline. Capture leads, add notes, and qualify contacts without any internet connection. Everything syncs automatically when you're back online.
How do I get my leads into my CRM?
BoothIQ integrates directly with HubSpot, Salesforce, and Zoho. Leads sync automatically with full conversation context - no manual exports or CSV uploads required.
How does a lead retrieval app work at trade shows?
You open the app, point your phone camera at a badge or business card, and the app captures the contact information. BoothIQ goes further by letting you add voice notes, enrich contacts, and send personalized follow-up emails before you leave the booth.
Can multiple team members use the app at the same booth?
Yes. BoothIQ supports teams with shared lead lists, so every rep at your booth can scan and capture leads independently. All leads sync to one shared view with full conversation context from each rep.
