The badge
Can I use Tendro at HCD 2026?
Yes. Tendro reads the printed name, title and company on each badge and business card, then looks up the work email.
HCD includes its lead capture system in every 2026 booth purchase, with unlimited access for your whole team in the official HCD Connect app, each worker on their own iOS or Android phone. If it covers your team and your CRM, use it. Tendro is for booths that want every rep on their own phone and each lead in HubSpot or Salesforce. Source.
Tendro doesn't pull the show's registration record. It reads what's printed on the badge; the name and company are what Tendro uses to look up the contact. The universal badge scanner explainer walks through how.
What matters here
Do HCD exhibitors get the attendee list?
It's in-app viewing, not a downloadable file: exhibitors view pre-registered attendees in HCD Connect and can book meetings before the show.
The same app holds the included lead capture, with your team's leads pooled in one portal, so it may be all you need. Tendro is for teams that want each lead sent to HubSpot or Salesforce. Source.
The floor
Who exhibits at HCD 2026?
About 287 exhibitors on HCD's 2026 list, selling into healthcare facility design and construction.
A 100 sq. ft. booth includes one full conference pass and two expo-only passes. Source.
The cost
What does lead capture cost at HCD 2026?
Lead capture is included in every HCD 2026 booth, for your whole team. Tendro is $499, for teams that want each lead sent to their CRM.
An included app costs nothing extra, so start there. Tendro is worth it when you want every rep scanning on their own phone and each lead sent to your CRM.
Before the show
How do you get set up before HCD 2026?
Email hello@tendro.com with code TENDRO-HCD. We set up your event and team, then connect your CRM on a 15-minute call.
On the call we invite your reps, map your CRM fields and scan a few old badges and business cards at your desk, so you see what Tendro reads and finds before HCD 2026 opens.
On the floor, if the hall WiFi drops, scans wait on the phone and sync when the signal returns. The offline capture write-up covers how.
Straight answer
Is Tendro the official lead capture app for HCD 2026?
No. Tendro is an independent app your booth runs on its own phones; the show includes lead retrieval through the HCD Connect app.
