SpeakerStacks launches GDPR-compliant lead capture platform for event speakers
The new software tool provides real-time, self-managed audience data capture for speakers at business events. LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, June 11, 2025 / / -- SpeakerStacks has launched a new software platform designed to help business speakers collect leads from event audiences in a GDPR-compliant way. The launch has been timed to coincide with SXSW London 2025. Founder of SpeakerStacks, Adam Parry, explained, 'Whether you're a founder, sales leader, consultant, CMO, or evangelist, if you speak at events to generate demand or build relationships, capturing prospect information from your audience is practically impossible. Most event organisers can't legally hand over attendee data, and that's a huge missed opportunity for business speakers.' The platform enables users to create custom, branded landing pages accessible via QR code, allowing attendees to opt in during or immediately after a talk. Features include data capture forms with consent tools, CRM integration, automated follow-up messaging, and basic reporting on engagement and conversions. SpeakerStacks was developed to address the lack of attendee data available to speakers at business events. Speakers often do not receive access to delegate lists due to data protection regulations, and many rely on informal or manual methods such as business cards, spreadsheets or QR code links with no data management support. 'SpeakerStacks turns your talk into a lead-gen magnet. With real-time QR code-driven landing pages, CRM integrations, and follow-up automation, it makes sure your audience turns into your pipeline,' added Parry. SpeakerStacks was created by Adam Parry, co-founder of Event Industry News and Event Tech Live; he has worked in the event technology sector for over a decade. A limited-time offer is available to coincide with launch week: free access to a basic plan, or 50% off the first 12 months for Pro and Teams tiers. Details are available at: ENDS About SpeakerStacks SpeakerStacks is the lead capture platform for business speakers who use events to grow. SpeakerStacks is a cloud-native lead capture and ROI analytics platform designed to transform speaking engagements into high-performing lead generation channels. Tailored for speakers, marketers, sales teams, and event organisers, the platform enables seamless conversion of live or virtual audiences into qualified CRM leads through branded QR codes and mobile-optimised landing pages. With dynamic QR codes, automated lead capture, and integrations with major CRM systems like HubSpot, Salesforce, and Pipedrive, SpeakerStacks streamlines the entire lead management process. It's built-in ROI Calculator provides actionable insights by analysing event costs, time investments, leads, and conversions, helping users optimise future events. Committed to data security and compliance, SpeakerStacks ensures encryption at rest and in transit, adhering to privacy regulations such as GDPR and CCPA. Whether you're a solo speaker or part of a large event team, SpeakerStacks offers scalable solutions to maximise the impact of every presentation. Press Contact: Adam Parry, Founder, SpeakerStacks.

Travel Leaders Network expands Super Agent designation
LAS VEGAS — Travel Leaders Network (TLN) is adding two new categories to its Super Agent designation on its Agent Profiler tool, among other technology updates discussed at its annual Edge conference this week at Caesars Palace Las Vegas Hotel and Casino. Agent Profiler is TLN's lead-generation tool for members. There are nearly 20,000 advisor profiles on today. In 2022, TLN added the "Super Agent" designation, awarded to advisors who fill out their profiles with a variety of content, like reviews, specialty bios, maps and photo albums. Now, two additional categories of Super Agent profiles are coming: Super Agent Gold and Super Agent Diamond. Advisors can reach those levels based on performance metrics using Agent Profiler, said Stephen McGillivray, chief partner marketing officer at parent company Internova Travel Group. That includes metrics like response rate within 24 hours and booking close rate. The basic Super Agent designation will remain in place. The new categories will likely go live in July, Lovell said. Having an elevated Agent Profiler designation puts an advisor higher in the search order, making it more likely a consumer will select their profile and send leads their way. Leads from the profiles are about flat compared to last year, which saw an all-time high of more than 300,000, McGillivray said. "We're happy about that, because a lot of the digital space, I've seen traffic numbers drive down," McGillivray said. "We were very happy that we're holding our own in lead flow to the members." The average cost of a booking that comes through Agent Profiler that an advisor can close is $10,665, according to McGillivray. The close rate, Lovell said, is a little over 25%. Continuing CRM integrations TLN continues its work to become CRM-agnostic, enabling members to work with whichever CRM they prefer and benefit from integration into TLN's systems. "CRMs are exploding all over the place in our industry," said Cory Voss, TLN's chief information officer. "When I say exploding, I mean lots more options than there ever was before. And we're sensitive to that. We acknowledge that, and we want to make sure that our membership base has the ability to make the choice and work with the CRM that fits their business best." Traditionally, TLN's systems were integrated with ClientBase and AgentMate, but the consortium has been making moves to be CRM-agnostic, enabling more CRMs to communicate with its systems. Integration of the VacationCRM is ongoing. Planiteasy, Tess and Tres are coming down the pipe, Voss said. "There's so many options in the CRM space," he said. "It's an important business decision for an agency to make, and we want to be as accommodating as we possibly can in supporting the decision that they're going to make. And we're going to do that by trying to get as many integrations as we possibly can." Simplified Sabre GDS rolling out for Canadian members Getting more advisors to sell air has been a focus of TLN in recent years. Last year, TLN began to roll out SNAP, its co-branded version of Sabre Red Launchpad designed to be a simpler-to-use version of the GDS. "Air has been ignored for a long time, and it's a huge opportunity," Lindsay Pearlman, TLN's COO, said. "When you think about it, it doesn't make sense that an advisor doesn't book air." It helps build relationships and loyalty by providing a more complete vacation product, he said. The proof is in the numbers: If an advisor books air for their customer, he said, the cancellation rate drops by 39%. "There's a stickiness factor," he said. "You're going beyond the transaction piece to providing full service for that customer." After a year of beta testing in the market, SNAP is now officially rolling out to TLN members in Canada.

How To Grow Your LinkedIn In Less Than 30 Minutes A Day
In his 1975 book "The Philosophy of Andy Warhol (From A to B and Back Again)", Andy Warhol, said if he could hire anyone on retainer, he'd hire a boss. 'I think a boss would be a good person to have around,' he said. I can relate. When you're the business owner, you're in charge of how you spend your time. But sometimes, you just want someone to tell you what to do. LinkedIn is no different. You could spend hours on the platform. You could ignore it all together. If only there was a plan you could follow to build your account and generate leads without the indecision. If you've got the commitment, here's the plan for you. My LinkedIn is about to hit 40,000 followers. I've been intentional about LinkedIn for the last 18 months and have figured out how to get big results in half the time. Remarkable results with minimal effort. Time isn't the issue. Focus is. Most business owners bounce around LinkedIn without direction. They post dull company announcements no one reads or share inspirational quotes stolen from Instagram. They spend hours scrolling the feed but never connect with potential clients or collaborators. That's a losing strategy and you know it. Here's what to do instead. If you want to grow on LinkedIn, you have to comment. But it doesn't have to take hours. Once a day, at the same time each day, spend 10 minutes commenting where potential clients hang out. Select 10 active accounts with audiences similar to your target market and save their profile URLs in a bookmark folder. Visit these profiles daily and leave thoughtful comments on their recent posts. Your strategic commenting creates visibility with new audiences while building relationships with potential collaborators. When your dream customers regularly see your name adding value to discussions, they remember you when they need what you offer. Once a week, block out some LinkedIn post writing time. Aim to create five posts, then post the best three. Focus on quality over quantity. Each time you sit down to write, pick a theme. Maybe it's success stories, mistakes you've made, or lessons you've learned. Break each down into clear steps anyone can apply. Use AI to turn one idea into more and schedule them each day (or every few days) at the exact same time. Post structure matters. Keep examples of posts you like as models, studying their structure rather than their content. Don't skip adding a compelling hook that stops the scroll. End with a question that invites engagement. No filler updates. Every post should solve a specific problem for your audience, or make them feel a specific way. Afternoon check in. Save 5 minutes for responding to comments and messages on your post. When someone comments, reply thoughtfully. You could ask a follow-up question. You could add more context. Turn comments into conversations by staying present and engaged. People who engage with your content are raising their hands. They're interested in what you share. Message them privately to learn more about their goals and challenges. Use their comment as an excuse to get in touch in the DMs. Private conversations are your goal. Realness with your dream customers is the aim of this game. Your DMs should be pinging with new messages all the time. Each day, batch through responses in 5 minutes. Use an inbox management tool like Kondo for maximum efficiency. Engaging with people on the feed is limited. Building familiarity happens behind closed doors. Be conversational. Ask questions that are easy to respond to. Get them talking. Get to know them. Understand their world and how you can help. I don't mean asking them to book a call straight away. I mean being human with your interactions so it's the next natural step. Your process on LinkedIn is simple. Comment on other people's posts to get more engagement on your own. Make sure your updates are high quality and a solid reflection of your brand. Attract in comments, then engage in the DMs. Build connections and relationships and increase your surface area for enquiries and luck. The aim is leads and new clients. Spend 5 minutes each week looking at analytics and tracing where your most promising leads came from. Keep going with this plan and you will see results. 30 minutes a day is ample time. Most people give up too soon. They aren't intentional with their activity. Track these results from day one and get the reps in on repeat. Post, comment, engage, DM. Set a timer for each task to prevent getting sucked into the feed. Use the mobile app for quick engagement during downtime. Save deeper work for desktop sessions. Your next LinkedIn breakthrough might be just around the corner. Building your reputation takes less time than you believe. Use this daily plan to get the reps in and stack the benefits in your favour. Engage, post, comment, and message privately. Keep going for glory. The following will grow. The leads will arrive.

Alongside the outreach engine, Valters helps clients build out conversion assets —like Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and DM scripts—to make sure they're not just getting traffic, but closing deals. "We help you get seen. We help you get followed. And then we help you get paid." – Valters Harnett Real-World Success: Bart's Journey One client, Bart, implemented the system and started generating $7K weeks from IG DMs alone. Their collaboration was captured in this full interview, showing how fast things can move with the right system.
