Evential automatically tracks and reports sponsor ROI for every booth at your conference or trade show — delivering verified engagement data and qualified lead counts within 24 hours of event close, without any manual work.
Open Dashboard Book a DemoSponsors are your events' revenue engine — but they operate on faith. The typical data you give them after an event (total attendance, estimated booth traffic, badge scans) tells them nothing about whether their specific booth investment produced returns. When sponsors can't measure ROI, they don't renew. And when they don't renew, your event revenue shrinks.
Evential's sponsor ROI tracking changes this dynamic. By capturing verified booth visits, dwell time, return visit rates, and lead counts for every exhibitor, Evential gives you automated, data-backed sponsor ROI reports — the kind of reporting that turns sponsor conversations from negotiations into renewals.
The sponsor ROI tracking data also flows directly into Evential's event lead generation marketplace, creating a post-event revenue stream for organizers and a tangible deliverable for sponsors that goes beyond the show itself.
Every sponsor ROI report benchmarks each booth's performance against your event average — giving sponsors context that turns raw numbers into meaningful ROI signals.
Track how many attendees returned to a sponsor's booth for a second or third visit — a strong buying intent signal that traditional badge scanning can't capture.
Sponsor ROI reports are generated automatically at event close — no manual data collection, no spreadsheet compilation. Reports are ready within 24 hours of your event ending.
Only attendees who visited the booth, spent 5+ minutes, and consented to data sharing at check-in qualify as leads — verified, defensible, sponsor ROI tracking data sponsors can act on.
Evential's sponsor ROI tracking is passive and automatic. When you set up your event in Evential, each sponsor's booth is assigned a zone in your floor plan. When an attendee with a BLE badge enters that zone, the gateway sensors log the visit — capturing entry time, exit time, and whether the attendee returns. No booth staff action required, no QR code scanning, no attendee opt-in needed for basic visit tracking.
PII linkage — matching a badge to a specific named contact — only happens when the attendee consents at check-in. This keeps Evential's sponsor ROI tracking GDPR and CCPA compliant by design, while still enabling qualified lead generation for sponsors who want it.
At event close, Evential automatically compiles every booth's sponsor ROI data — visits, dwell time, return rates, and leads — into formatted reports for each exhibitor. Organizers can review the reports before sending, and then deliver them to sponsors directly from the platform. The entire workflow that used to take your team days now happens automatically.
