Why Exhibitors Lose 70% of Their Leads — And How AI Is Finally Fixing It

Most exhibitors lose 70% of leads after an event. AiCONIC 360 transforms exhibitions with conversation intelligence, automated follow-ups, and smart documents.

Exhibitions are high-energy, high-investment, high-stakes environments.
Brands spend weeks preparing — building booths, training staff, printing brochures, and generating footfall.
But when the dust settles, most exhibitors admit a frustrating truth:

“We collected a lot of leads, but we don’t know what happened after.”

It’s not negligence.
It’s not bad salesmanship.
It’s simply the reality of how exhibitions operate.


The Real Problem: Exhibitors Don’t Have a Lead Shortage — They Have an Intelligence Shortage


Walk into any booth at any major expo and you’ll see the same challenges repeat:

  • Conversations happening back-to-back

  • Staff juggling multiple visitors at once

  • Business cards, scanners, and forms piling up

  • Zero time to take notes

  • No standard way to capture context

  • Follow-ups delayed for days (or forgotten entirely)

By the time the event ends, exhibitors walk away with:

  • A big list of names

  • A few business cards

  • Limited memory of who said what

  • No clear idea of who is hot, warm, or cold

And this is where revenue is lost.
Not at the booth — but after the booth.

The Harsh Reality: 70% of Exhibition Leads Die Within 72 Hours

Why?

Because the most important moment of conversion —
the context of the conversation — is missing.

Customer A asked about pricing.
Customer B wanted customizations.
Customer C asked for a callback next week.
Customer D needed a brochure in German.

But none of this gets captured with accuracy.
And without context, even the best teams struggle to prioritize and convert.

This is the gap between a busy booth and real ROI.


Introducing AiCONIC 360 — The AI Intelligence Layer Built for Exhibitions

We built AiCONIC 360 to solve the exact problems exhibitors struggle with year after year.

It’s not another scanner.
Not another CRM plugin.
Not another form.

It’s your booth’s AI Co-Director — listening, analyzing, and supporting your team in real time.

Here’s how it works:


1. LeadLens — Conversation Intelligence for Your Booth
Every conversation is captured through a mic or body cam and analyzed instantly.

AiCONIC 360 identifies:

  • Visitor intent

  • Key questions asked

  • Objections

  • Sentiment

  • Product interest level

  • Competitor mentions

  • Hot/Warm/Cold scoring

No more guessing.
You get actual intelligence.


2. FollowUps — Contextual Follow-Up Automation

Follow-ups are no longer generic or delayed.

The system automatically creates:

  • Brochures

  • Quotes

  • Proposals

  • Case studies

  • Thank-you emails

All tailored to exactly what the visitor asked, using context from the conversation.

This is the part where most exhibitors lose revenue —
and AiCONIC 360 automates it with precision.


3. ClarifAI — Voice-Enabled Smart Documents

Every brochure, presentation, or proposal you share can come alive.

Visitors can:

  • Click a link

  • Speak to a voice agent

  • Get instant answers

  • Ask clarifications

  • Explore features

  • Access multilingual support

No need for your team to manually explain every detail.
Your documents now explain themselves.


The Outcome: Exhibitions That Actually Convert

Imagine finishing an expo and receiving:

  • A complete dashboard of every conversation

  • Lead scores with context

  • Auto-generated follow-ups already sent

  • A list of hot leads to call immediately

  • Insights on what visitors cared about the most

  • A measurable conversion map for clients and management

This is not the future —
it’s available today.


**Exhibitors Don’t Need More Footfall. They Need More Intelligence.**

AiCONIC 360 transforms exhibitions from “busy” to impactful, from “chaotic” to predictable, from “manual” to intelligent.

If you’re organizing, exhibiting, or building experiences at GITEX, CES, IIJS, EXCON, ELECRAMA, IMC or any major show — you already know the stakes.

This is your chance to run events the way they were always meant to be run:
with intelligence, clarity, and real ROI.
