Lead retrieval, built for the organiser

Your exhibitors already carry the scanner.

Lanyard turns any phone into badge scanning for your whole show. No hardware to hire, no app store, no training. You get the lead data, the audit trail, and the report that sells next year’s stands.

£3,600 a year. Every event, every exhibitor, every scan included.

Lead captured

The exhibitor gets her name, school, email and phone. Nobody else does — and none of it was in the code on the badge.

Three things go wrong at exhibitions. Here is what we do about each.

Every one of them lands on you, not on the exhibitor who bought the stand.

1

Scanner hire eats the margin

Renting handsets for forty stands costs more than the lead capture is worth, and someone has to hand them out, charge them and chase them back.

WHAT LANYARD DOES

Exhibitors scan on their own phones. Nothing to buy, hand out or collect — and nothing to go missing on the Friday.

2

The wi-fi gives up at 11am

Halls oversubscribe their networks and 4G collapses at coffee breaks. An exhibitor who sees a spinner stops scanning, and you hear about it afterwards.

WHAT LANYARD DOES

Scans are written to the phone and confirmed on screen before the network is touched, then upload themselves when signal returns. Nobody waits and nothing is lost.

3

Visitors stop handing over details

People who were spammed after one exhibition keep their badge turned round at the next. Scan rates fall and your exhibitors blame the event.

WHAT LANYARD DOES

Every exhibitor accepts a contact licence before their first scan, and their access expires. Visitors are told the rules at registration, so they hold the badge up.

HOW IT WORKS

Set up in an afternoon. Run it on the day without thinking about it.

1

Import your registrations

Drop in the CSV from whatever ticketing system you already use. Column names are matched for you, and re-importing corrects records instead of duplicating them.

Badges print six to an A4 sheet on any office printer, in your event's own colours.

2

Exhibitors scan with their own phones

You invite their staff by email. They tap a link, and they are scanning. Nothing to install, no app store, no passwords to reset on the morning of the show.

Scans save to the phone first and upload on their own, so a dead network never costs a lead.

3

Everyone leaves with what they came for

Exhibitors download or email themselves their leads, with the ratings and notes they took at the stand. You get attendance, reach and a stand-by-stand breakdown.

Access expires on the date you set, automatically.

WHY VISITORS AGREE TO BE SCANNED

A contact licence on every lead — and it is yours to write.

Every exhibitor accepts your terms before their first scan. Ours is the default, and it is deliberately strict: one introduction email, one follow‑up, one phone call, no mailing lists, no passing details on.

Set your own in your settings if your show works differently. It is your event and your relationship with the people attending it — you just need to have told them at registration what they are agreeing to.

THE DEFAULT LICENCEeditable
One introduction email
One follow-up
One phone call
Never added to a mailing list or passed on

Enforced in the software, not just the small print. Exhibitor access ends on the date you set.

What the code contains

No name. No email. No phone number. Nothing.
DATA PROTECTION

A photographed badge gives nothing away.

Most badge QR codes carry the visitor’s details inside them. Anyone who photographs a lanyard — or scrolls past one posted on LinkedIn — can read the lot. A Lanyard badge carries a random code and nothing else.

WHO CAN SEE YOUR VISITORS’ DATA

You, and the exhibitors who scanned that particular visitor. Nobody else. Exhibitors cannot see each other’s leads, and no other organiser on the platform can see anything of yours.

That includes us. Our own systems report account and usage figures — how many events, how many scans — and have no route to a visitor’s name, school or email address. Your data is never sold, never shared and never used for marketing.

UK data residency
Hosted in the UK, on UK infrastructure.
Separated by design
Exhibitors see only the visitors they scanned themselves.
Full audit trail
Every scan, export and access change is logged.
AFTER THE EVENT

The report that sells next year’s stands.

Exhibitors renew on evidence, not goodwill. Lanyard counts every scan, every stand and every visitor reached, so when you quote a stand price you have a number behind it.
