Plasmidsaurus was looking for a more consistent, scalable way to capture leads across conferences. Instead of relying on each event’s separate lead capture system, learning a new process every time, and re-integrating data back into their systems, the team needed one repeatable workflow they could use across every event.

With Popl, Plasmidsaurus gained a centralized hub for event lead capture, giving their team a consistent format for scanning badges, organizing leads, and syncing data into HubSpot. Lead qualifiers helped the team categorize leads by interest and tailor follow-up more effectively, contributing to 2-3x higher email open rates.

Now after scanning 11,000+ badges across 43 events in one year, Popl has become Plasmidsaurus’ source of truth for event lead capture.

From gene sequencing to lead sequencing

Popl's impact by the numbers:

- 11,250+ leads collected in just one year.
- 2-3x increase in open rates
from follow up emails because of Popl qualifers.
- 5 events with 1K+ leads each, placing Plasmidsaurus among Popl’s highest-volume event teams.
- 40+ different badge scanner apps replaced with just the Popl platform.
- 12 seconds – average time from badge scan to HubSpot contact created.
- 43 event campaigns successfully completed.
- HubSpot native integration allowed for Streamlined automatic follow-up emails



"Popl has been a great tool for our team! It is very effective to be able to have a consistent format for the teams to conduct lead capture and a hub to house it all.

Having the lead qualifiers has also been a very productive way for us to categorize our leads, generating a 2-3x open rate for emails since we are able to tailor it specifically to their interests."
