Discover

Know what an event is worth before you commit to it

Paste a link, upload the brochure, or forward the organiser's email. Discover scores the event out of 8 against your own buyer — who's actually attending, which competitors will be there, and what it's reasonable to spend.

No organiser permission needed. Works on any public event.

THE PROBLEM

Most event decisions are made on last year's habit

A Faster, Smarter Way to Build Your Entire Event Strategy

Someone remembers the booth was busy. Nobody has the delegate list, nobody knows how many of them matched your buyer, and nobody can say what the last one returned. So it gets approved again - and the same conversation happens next October.

The result: Discover puts it in one number, in under a minute.

Inside Discover

What sits behind the score

The IQ Score

Every Event on the Same Scale

  • How dense your buyers are
  • Which competitors will attend
  • What similar events returned
  • What it's worth spending

"A conference in Bengaluru and an expo in Singapore, finally comparable."

ICP Density Estimate

Room Size Is Not the Point

Discover estimates what share of the room is actually yours:

  • Attendees matched to your profile
  • By seniority and function
  • By industry and company size
  • Density, not headcount

"A 300-person event with 100 buyers beats a 5,000-person event with 40."

Trust Index

The Events People Come Back To

Retention scored across the three groups that matter:

  • Sponsors who renew
  • Speakers who return
  • Delegates who re-register

"Events that refill the room every year behave differently from events people come back to."

Multi-Source Upload

Score Events That Aren't Listed Anywhere

Regional shows and invite-only summits rarely have a proper website. Discover works from whatever you have:

  • A public event link
  • A PDF brochure
  • A delegate spreadsheet
  • The organiser's email

"No organiser permission needed."

Event Search & Discovery

Find the Ones You Don't Know About

Search beyond the events your team already books:

  • Filter by industry
  • Filter by geography
  • Filter by audience and seniority
  • Surface smaller, higher-scoring shows

"The flagship isn't always the best use of the budget."

Multi-Event Comparison

The Whole Shortlist, Side by Side

Every candidate event in one view:

  • Score against score
  • ICP density against density
  • Competitor presence
  • Recommended spend

"Walk into the budget meeting with a ranked list, not a wish list."

How it works

Three inputs, one number

01

Give it the event

A public link, a PDF brochure, a delegate spreadsheet, or the email the organiser sent you. Whatever you have is enough.

02

It reads the event against your buyer

Agenda, speakers, sponsors, past editions and attendee signals, matched to the ideal customer profile you've already defined.

03

You get a score and the reasoning

A number out of 8, plus the four things behind it: how dense your buyers are, who else will be there, what similar events have returned, and what it's worth spending.

What this looks like in practice

Before the budget meeting

Walk in with a scored shortlist instead of a list of names, and a defensible reason for each one.

When the organiser pushes

Answer in a minute rather than asking for a week to think about it.

When someone suggests a new event

Score it on the spot instead of guessing or ignoring it.

When you cut something

Show the number that justified the cut, not an opinion.
