Conference Speaker Outreach
Common questions about finding and contacting speakers at industry conferences — how it works, what's effective, and what's legal.
What is conference speaker outreach?
Conference speaker outreach is the practice of identifying speakers at industry events and contacting them — usually on LinkedIn or by email — to start a sales, partnership, or recruiting conversation. Speakers are high-signal prospects because they self-select as decision-makers and category experts.
How do I find speakers at a conference?
Most conferences publish a public speaker page with names, talk titles, and companies. SayIntel takes that URL, extracts the full speaker list, and enriches each person with their job title, company, work history, and public LinkedIn so you can act on it immediately — no manual copy-paste.
What's the best way to message a conference speaker on LinkedIn?
Reference their specific talk, tie it to a problem you solve, and keep it under 90 words. Generic 'loved your talk' messages are ignored. SayIntel drafts speaker-specific messages that quote the talk title and the speaker's company context, then lets you edit before sending.
Is it legal to scrape conference speaker pages?
SayIntel only processes publicly available information published by the conference itself (name, title, company, talk abstract, public LinkedIn). The customer is the data controller under GDPR and is responsible for the lawful basis of outreach. See our Privacy Policy for details on subprocessors and data handling.
How many speakers can I process at once?
There is no hard cap. 1 lead = 1 fully enriched and qualified speaker with drafted messages. Plans include a monthly quota of qualified leads — Starter (25), Pro (150), or Scale (600). Cancel anytime.
How is SayIntel different from Apollo or LinkedIn Sales Navigator?
Apollo and Sales Navigator help you search a static contact database. SayIntel starts from a conference roster — a real-world buying signal — and produces a qualified, ICP-scored list with personalized drafts ready to send. It complements rather than replaces a contact database.
