§ 01 · On the floor

How does lead retrieval work at the booth?

Each rep photographs a badge or business card on their own phone. Tendro reads the printed name, title and company, then finds the work email.

In the appSample screens
  • Photograph the badge. Saved, email found.

    After the photo, a strip at the bottom of the camera reads: Jordan Ellis, Northwind Industrial Supply. Saved, email found.
  • The contact fills in. Email, phone, LinkedIn.

    Jordan Ellis's lead page: email, phone, LinkedIn, assigned to Dana Ruiz, and company details such as location, company size and industry
  • Tag it, say the note. Typed into Notes.

    The same lead tagged Hot, with a voice note transcribed into Notes

Your booth

Booth
For 2027 an 8' D x 10' W exhibit hall booth is $850, with three-sided pipe and drape, one 72 x 30 inch table, two chairs, internet access and standard electricity. A tabletop in the hotel connector hallway is $400, and outdoor apparatus spaces are $250 each, one vehicle per space.
Worth knowing
The Expo Only pass is free and open to the public, so the floor is open to visitors beyond full conference registrants. Note each visitor's department and role as you talk, and stay set up until the posted Friday close, since NCAFC asks exhibitors not to break down early.

§ 06 · Questions

What else should you know before the show?

Is Tendro the official lead capture app for NCAFC MWC 2027?

No. Tendro is independent and runs on your reps' own phones. We made it free for NCAFC MWC 2027 exhibitors.

The NCAFC MWC 2027 organizers can also include it in their exhibitor offering, with onboarding and a show report for every booth.

Do you need HubSpot or Salesforce?

No. Leads sync to HubSpot or Salesforce, or export from the dashboard as a spreadsheet. Every rep's scans land in one list.

Does Tendro scan business cards?

Yes. Point the same camera at a business card. OCR reads the printed card, enrichment fills in the rest, and it lands in your CRM like a badge scan.

Does it work if the hall WiFi drops?

Yes. Every scan saves to the phone first and uploads when signal returns, so a dead hall WiFi doesn't stop the booth.

Every show we cover is in the show guides.
