Events, conferences & trade shows

    Turn every event connection into an opportunity

    Your team meets dozens or hundreds of people at an event. namponi captures, enriches and organizes those connections so your team can follow up while the conversation is still fresh.

    Which side of the event are you on?

    What usually happens after the event

    The three days go well. The three weeks afterwards are where the value leaks out.

    A stack of cardboard

    Two hundred cards in a lanyard pouch, a tote bag and three jacket pockets.

    Days of typing

    Someone has to key it all in, and it slips to the week after the week after.

    The context evaporates

    By Thursday nobody remembers which of the four Marias wanted the pricing.

    Five people, five lists

    Contacts sit on individual phones and in personal spreadsheets, never in one place.

    Nothing says where it came from

    Months later, no one can tell which relationships the event actually produced.

    Follow-up lands too late

    By the time you reach out, three competitors already have.

    How namponi works at an event

    Six steps, most of which happen without anyone doing anything.

    1. 01

      Meet

      A conversation at your stand, in a session, or in the queue for coffee.

    2. 02

      Scan

      Photograph the card they hand you — one, or up to ten in a batch.

    3. 03

      Capture context

      What you scribbled on the card is read and kept with the person.

    4. 04

      Enrich

      Company name, logo, industry and location fill themselves in.

    5. 05

      Manage

      Stages, tags and sources — everyone capturing into one place.

    6. 06

      Follow up

      Your team picks up contacts that already carry their context.

    One connection, end to end

    You met Elena at booth 14

    She asked for pricing. You scribbled it on her card and moved on to the next conversation. Here is everything that happened without you touching it again.

    What you get back from the event

    Capture multiple cards in one go

    Send up to ten card images in a single batch from your phone, then carry on talking to people. You get a notification when the batch is done.

    Your shorthand becomes context you can act on

    "Send pricing", "wants a demo in March", "met at booth 14" — handwriting on the card is read, tidied up and turned into a tag and a note on the contact.

    Company details fill themselves in

    From the work email domain: company name, logo, industry, location, website and social profiles. Nobody looks anything up manually.

    Keep your team's new connections together

    Everything captured across the floor lands in one organization, tagged and attributed to the source it came from, instead of on five separate phones.

    More on card scanning, company intelligence and lead management.

    Five people, one pile of contacts

    Everyone on the stand captures on their own phone, into the same organization. Nothing has to be merged afterwards, because it was never separate.

    Admins and owners see everything the team captured across the floor. Members see the contacts they created themselves.

    How teams work in namponi
    • Everyone captures into one organization

      Contacts from the whole team land in the same place, as they are captured.

    • Notified when a batch finishes

      Send off a batch of cards and get a push when it has been processed.

    • Web and mobile, same account

      Capture on a phone at the stand, work through it on a laptop at the hotel.

    What happens in the week after

    The event ends. The contacts are already where your team works.

    Work them like any other pipeline

    Move contacts through your stages, filter by the source they came from, and see a record of everything that has happened to each one.

    Lead management

    Send them where your team already works

    Automation that runs when a new lead is created can tag it, map the fields, branch on a condition and push it to Salesforce, HubSpot or Zoho — or your own endpoint by webhook or API.

    CRM integrations

    See what the event actually produced

    Contacts keep the source that created them, so months later you can still tell which relationships started on that stand.

    Automation

    Questions teams ask before an event

    How many business cards can we scan at once?

    You can send up to 10 card images in a single batch, from your phone camera or your photo library. Fire off a batch, carry on talking to people, and you get a notification when the batch has finished processing.

    Does it work without a signal on the show floor?

    Scanning a card needs connectivity — the photo is uploaded and read in the cloud, so you need a connection at the moment you capture it. Sharing your own details is different: the offline vCard QR puts your contact details inside the QR code itself, so someone can scan it and save you to their phone with no network on either device.

    What happens to notes handwritten on a card?

    They are read along with the printed details. A note like "send pricing" or "wants a demo in March" is transcribed, tidied up, and turned into a tag on the contact plus a note kept alongside them — so your shorthand from the floor survives the trip home.

    Where do event contacts end up afterwards?

    They land in your contacts with a pipeline stage, the source they came from, and any tags. From there, automation that runs whenever a new lead is created can map the fields and send it on to Salesforce, HubSpot or Zoho — or to any endpoint of your own by webhook or API.

    What if a card is hard to read?

    Every scan comes back with a confidence score, and cards the first model finds difficult are automatically passed to a stronger one. On mobile you review and correct the extracted details before saving, and a scan that fails can simply be retried.

    Can the whole team capture into the same place?

    Yes. Everyone captures on their own phone into the same organization, so the contacts your team collects across the floor are together rather than scattered across five phones. Admins and owners see everything the team captured; members see the contacts they created.
