USE CASE:
The hard part of event presence for edtech companies
What follows is the honest set of ways to get event presence on edtech companies, including the ones that are not ours. We are Mamba Labs, we build Apify actors, and Event Presence Index is the one that does this for edtech companies.
What is actually going wrong
Edtech companies frustrate event presence, for a reason specific to them. Any event presence method has to survive this: edtech companies sell to institutions on an academic calendar, so the buying window opens twice a year and closes hard. What catches people out on edtech companies, event presence included: term dates move the whole pipeline, so a signal read in July means something else in October. Event Presence Index carries 1 ready made setup for event presence on edtech companies.
Traditional Search Tools
- The institution's own procurement portal, for edtech companies. Free, slow, and the only place a tender actually appears.
- Ask your customers. Five calls answers this better than any dataset, and the answers include the events that are not worth attending, which no sponsor list tells you.
- Event platforms and directories. 10Times and similar list events and exhibitors. Coverage is broad, depth on who actually sponsored is thin.
- LinkedIn during the event week. People post from conferences. Watching the hashtag for a week tells you who was there and who cared enough to say so.
- Read the sponsor pages. Pick the ten events in your category, open the sponsor list for the last two years, and see who repeats. An afternoon, and the pattern is usually obvious by the third event.
