ISAE ICON 2024 Recap – Lead Retrieval, Onsite Badge Printing, and More!

Last week, ResultsAtHand had the pleasure of attending and servicing the Indiana Society of Association Executives ICON 2024 annual convention! We are pleased with how smoothly this event ran and we had a great time meeting with association professionals and industry partners.  From Educational sessions and industry updates to authentic local experiences in the evening at the WonderLab Science Museum and the Waldron Arts Center in downtown Bloomington, ISAE ICON didn’t disappoint! We had plenty of opportunities to learn about association challenges and share how we can elevate and simplify their education and event program.

For this year’s ICON, ResultsAtHand provided onsite badge printing and the event app with our new lead retrieval feature. Our onsite badge printing solution ensured a simple and seamless process for attendees, eliminating the hassle of pre-printing and pre-ordering badges or badge misprints. ISAE event planners created their own branded badge design and from there we handled the rest! As guests arrived, we ensured ISAE event-goers and event planners had an easy and fast experience at registration check-in. ResultsAtHand’s onsite badge printing process is as simple as guests typing in their name and the printer automatically prints a name label. To learn more about pricing and how onsite badge printing can work for your event, check out our website.

Katie Anderson and Jessica MacMillan, Indiana Society of Association Executives Event Planners, who were involved in planning and executing this event shared their experiences with ResultsAtHand’s onsite badge printing solution:

“The badge printing was a hit at ICON. Attendees were in awe at the ease of the process, and we got tons of questions about how the process worked.”

– Jessica MacMillan, Meetings and Membership Coordinator, Indiana Society of Association Executives

“The badges were a hit, and our attendees were very impressed. Additionally, if people did not like the way their name appeared in the preview, it was quick and easy to edit on the back end and have the badge print how they wanted it.”

– Katie Anderson, Communications Coordinator, Indiana Society of Association Executives 

In addition to onsite badge printing, ISAE also utilized our event app with our lead retrieval scanning app (ConferenceBeat Connect). We are delighted with how the lead retrieval process unfolded and how simple and meaningful it made the networking process for ICON Exhibitors & Attendees. The lead retrieval process is as simple as scanning the QR code on an attendee’s badge to capture their profile. After connecting and capturing the leads profile, Exhibitors can leave a star-based priority rating and take notes to refer back to later. You can also chat with leads after connecting to continue to network. Lead retrieval ensures that networking is meaningful, but efficient. Check out our website for more on how our event app and our lead retrieval software can elevate your next event.

One Exhibitor, Josie O’Donnell PDM from Visit Fort Wayne, shared her experience using lead retrieval at ICON 2024:

“I was pleasantly surprised with the new Lead Retrieval app Kim Harwood introduced us to during the Indiana Society of Association Executives Annual Convention- ICON. It was easy to use, and I especially liked the ability to quickly rate a connection with 1-5 stars.  Our organizations spend a lot of money to attend events like ICON.  While amid networking, addressing questions during tradeshow hours, and getting our own education it’s easy to think that I’ll remember the key points of a conversation; however, I don’t.  Being able to make quick notes in one place should enable me to effectively do the follow-up in a timely manner.  Knowing ResultsAtHand, I’m confident that if I call with questions, I’ll get my answers.”

– Josie O’Donnell PDM, Senior Sales Manager, Visit Fort Wayne
