AI agent that finds decision-makers at trade shows and automates pre-event outreach to book meetings before you arrive.
Validated on May 15, 2026
The pain point is real: trade show leads are expensive and often wasted. Lensmor solves the pre-show outreach gap with verified contacts and AI-driven campaigns. The hard part is data accuracy at scale and getting event organizers to allow scraping. Distribution depends on sales teams already spending on events. For this to work, the contact verification must stay above 90% and the AI outreach must not feel spammy.

Sales teams spend $25B+ annually on trade shows but lack pre-show tools. Exhibitor lists are public; scraping is feasible but requires scale. AI email outreach is becoming normalized; personalization is key.
Large TAM in event-driven sales Booth traffic is inefficient
Why now
Heuristic scoring based on model judgment, not factual measurement.
AI outreach is now acceptable Post-pandemic events booming Few AI-native pre-show tools
The market is early but accelerating. AI outreach tools are becoming normalized, and trade show professionals acknowledge the pre-show pipeline problem. However, regulatory risks and potential backlash against AI-generated emails could slow adoption. Timing is favorable for a lean MVP to capture early adopters.
