- High concentration of enterprise buyers from utilities and government bodies
Lead Retrieval at IEEE PES T&D 2026
IEEE PES T&D offers Lead Retrieval solution via Freeman. In many of the shows that are conducted by Freeman, these tend to be the ATS solution for lead capture with add-ons. Typically they are priced at over $380 per user license. If you have a team of 3 people, and want each of them to have a good amount of conversations and build the lead pipeline, this can set you back by over $1000!
- Badge scanning via mobile app or handheld device
- Real-time capture of attendee contact details
- Lead qualification fields (ratings, notes, tags)
- Export to CSV or CRM integration
- Paid add-ons per device/user license
- Limited contextual capture during fast-paced booth interactions
- No built-in workflow for booking meetings in real time
- Follow-ups typically happen days or weeks after the event
- Standard functionality is capture-first, not conversion-focused
- App stops working the day after the event (while you return home with a bunch of business cards)
B2Brain: Turn IEEE PES T&D Booth Traffic into Real Pipeline
At IEEE PES T&D, conversations are technical, high-value, and long-cycle. With large booths, live demos, and multiple reps handling visitors simultaneously, context gets lost fast. Without structured capture, qualification signals slip through. Follow-ups happen days later when memory has faded. Not to mention the cards you and your team carried back home, and now have to figure out hacks to convert / digitise them, consolidate, clean and scrub, enrich, shortlist, and line up for follow up. This is precisely what B2Brain is built to solve for!
- ✓Capture structured notes instantly (voice or text) per conversation
- ✓Log use cases, urgency, and buying signals in real time
- ✓Identify ICP-fit accounts on the spot
- ✓Book meetings during the conversation — not after the event — and increase LTM
- ✓Sync everything to CRM with full IEEE PES T&D event attribution
