CADSI has released a Request for Proposals (RFP) seeking submissions from a third-party service partner to provide a complete and seamless cost-effective lead retrieval solution for exhibitors, and in some instances our sponsors, at CANSEC which will be held May 29 -30th, 2019 at the EY Centre in Ottawa, Ontario. Meeting and evaluating qualified prospects and converting them into loyal customers is the true measure of exhibitor’s success and ultimately the success of CANSEC.

1. Lead Retrieval by way of secure QR code, bar code or other easy to read system which will fit on current badge design
2. Ability for integration with our current registration system
3. A user-friendly interface which can be used on any phone, tablet or rental unit
4. Live attendee verification – or as close to live verification as possible
5. Ability to make records / note keeping of prospects met at the show
6. Tools for exhibitors to identify and rate different lead types
7. Follow up tools for post-show connections and communications
8. Customisable product with the ability to be branded with CANSEC and sponsors
9. Attendee/Company/Exhibitor look up
10. The ability for revenue sharing or commissions while keeping costs appetizing for exhibitors
11. Exhibitor support pre, during (including on site) and post event
12. Post event survey
