The Challenge

Why Most Teams Fail to Maximize Event ROI

Without preparation, KickStart Europe becomes an expensive networking trip with nothing to show.

Unusable Portals

attendees. No way to filter by ICP. Finding ideal prospects means manually clicking through thousands of profiles.

Too Late

30-40% of attendees register in the last 2-3 weeks. Finish reaching out to one batch, hundreds more registered. Always behind.

No Prioritization

Without scoring and segmentation, all attendees look the same. Teams waste cycles on low-fit prospects instead of focusing on high-value targets.

Manual Multi-Channel

Reaching prospects across email, LinkedIn, phone, and in-app manually is impossible at scale. Most teams pick one channel and miss opportunities.

Best Practices

How to Actually Maximize KickStart ROI

Winning teams follow two phases: preparation and execution.

3-4 weeks before

Pre-Event Preparation

Identify Target Prospects

Monitor attendee lists continuously as 30-40% register in the last 2-3 weeks.

Enrich with Contacts

Add verified emails, LinkedIn profiles, company data, and tech stack to raw attendee names.

ICP, Persona & ABM Matching

Score by role, title, job level, company size, revenue, location, industry. Match to target personas and ABM accounts. Focus on top 20%.

Launch Multi-Channel Outreach

Email, LinkedIn, phone, in-app. Goal: pre-book meetings with high-value prospects.

Event week

During the Event

Execute Pre-Booked Meetings

Calendars should be 60-70% full with high-fit prospects before arriving at Amsterdam.

Prioritized Conversations

Know ICP score and context for every interaction. Focus on high-value targets.

The Reality: Nearly Impossible Manually

These practices work. But 30-40% of attendees register in the last 2-3 weeks. Manual execution takes 5-7 days per batch. Teams would need to repeat identification, enrichment, scoring, and outreach continuously across email, LinkedIn, phone, and in-app. Most don't have the bandwidth.

The question isn't what to do. It's how to execute continuously at scale.
