How do you find conferences in Inven?

Conferences in Inven shows which events matter, which companies are attending, and who to contact before you go.

Describe the events you want to find, and Inven surfaces the matching conferences. Open any one to see who's attending, then reach out to decision-makers before the event starts.

Why use conferences for deal sourcing?

Most deals start with a conversation, not a cold email. Conferences are where many of those conversations start.

But planning around events has meant piecing information together from event websites and attendee lists you can't search, then matching names to the companies you follow.

Conferences in Inven puts events, attending companies, and company profiles in the same place you already research companies. Every event is one click from a company profile, and full company data is one click from the events it's going for.
