The badge
Can I use Tendro at MLA 2026?
Yes. Tendro reads the printed name, title and company on each badge and business card, then looks up the work email.
If your registration includes a scanner app, you can still run Tendro for the whole team and send every lead to your CRM.
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
When do MLA exhibitors get the attendee lists?
Twice: a pre-event list one week before the conference and a post-event list one week after.
The post-event list arrives a week after the show and doesn't tell you who stopped at your booth. Booth capture records your own conversations as they happen, and Tendro sends each one to your CRM. Source.
The floor
Who exhibits at MLA 2026?
About 67 companies with booths on MLA's 2026 exhibitor list, selling to Michigan libraries.
A 10' x 10' carpeted booth comes with a 2' x 6' skirted table, two chairs, a wastebasket, back drape and side dividers, a booth ID sign and four booth personnel exhibit hall passes. Booths ran $1000 to $1600 depending on zone and registration date. Source.
The cost
What does lead capture cost at MLA 2026?
Tendro is $499 for your whole booth team at MLA 2026, every rep on their own phone, with each lead sent to your CRM.
If the organizer sells a scanner, ask for its per-device price and compare it with one fee for the whole team. One $499 event covers unlimited reps and scans. The per-event vs annual pricing guide shows when each model wins.
Before the show
How do you get set up before MLA 2026?
Email hello@tendro.com with code TENDRO-MLA. 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 MLA 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 MLA 2026?
No. Tendro is an independent app your booth runs on its own phones; it doesn't depend on the show's own system.
