An AI Agent That Walks Trade Show Floors

We built an AI agent that walks B2B trade show floors for us.

It registers as an attendee. Logs in. Tracks the hashtag in real time. Scrapes every exhibitor, every named decision maker, every booth.

It scraped 19 events. 17,944 companies. 10,097+ decision makers.

Why it matters -

Targeting event attendees is the lowest-hanging fruit in B2B outbound. When you reach out to someone who attended a show, you are pitching from inside the group.

The stack, in workflow order -

Claude Code orchestrates a sub-agent per event. It auto-detects the directory platform: Swapcard, MapYourShow, Reed Algolia, Ungerboeck, Fira Barcelona, Informa.

Apify pulls every LinkedIn post tagged with the event hashtag.

OSS Browser Use cracks the JS-heavy directories no static scraper can see. Renders the SPA, dumps the GraphQL state, walks the catalog.

AgentMail (YC S25) handles registration walls. Provisions a fresh inbox, fills the form, clicks the verification link, and scrapes the unlocked list as an attendee.

Dead event website? The skill probes the Web Archive automatically when the live site 404s

The wildest discovery: 3 of 5 trade shows we marked as login-walled were lying. Public APIs hidden behind their own bad docs.

The skill is now project-agnostic. Any client campaign at Prospects Pulse gets attended-event signal in one command.

If you have not tried event-attendee targeting in your outbound, you are leaving the easiest pipeline on the table.

If you need exact SOP then type event to receive it.
