For show organizers, exhibitors, and the buyers walking your floor. A QR code at every booth lets a buyer ask questions in their own language and get answers from the exhibitor’s own product material.You seeevery question asked across the show, in real time.
The opportunity isn’t generic AI. It’s capturing what buyers came to ask, in any language, and turning it into data your floor can act on.
When the booth is busy, every salesperson is mid-conversation. The next buyer waits, gets bored, says "I’ll come back," and forgets. When the booth is empty, the same buyer grabs a flyer and walks. Either way, the question they came with goes unanswered.
A francophone or Mandarin-speaking buyer asks a detailed question about ingredients, certifications, or order quantities. The exhibitor does their best in English. The buyer smiles, takes the brochure, and walks on. They rarely follow up.
Every buyer who showed up brought a specific question with them. A few got answered. Most didn’t. None of it was captured. The post-event survey asks how the venue was. Nobody asks what the buyers wanted to know.
No code. No app to install. No training session for exhibitors. Just four steps from kickoff to a working show floor.
Spec sheets, product PDFs, FAQs, certificates. Anything they would want a buyer to know. Askbud reads it, structures it, and trains an assistant per booth.
Print it on signage, table tents, brochures, badges. A buyer scans and asks. The QR is editable, so you can swap the destination or behavior without reprinting a single sheet.
The assistant answers from the exhibitor’s own material, cites its sources, and only answers what it knows. Tested across English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Mandarin, Japanese, Arabic, Indonesian, and more.
Every question, every booth, every language. Aggregated by category, exhibitor, region, and pavilion. Carry it into next year’s programming, matchmaking, and exhibitor sales.
Exhibitors get a virtual salesperson at every booth. Organizers get the data the show floor used to throw away.
Even when the rep is busy, in a meeting, or speaks a different language than the buyer.
Every question buyers came with, captured live, in every language they speak.
From international food shows to small regional expos, the same engine works on any surface where attendees show up with questions.
Major shows where buyers come from a dozen countries to source ingredients, packaged goods, beverages, and equipment. Visitors ask about halal status, MOQs, shipping, and private label. Exhibitors explain the same things 200 times a day, often in their second language.
A government trade body brings 10 to 50 exporters from one country. Different exhibitors, shared visibility goals. A pavilion-wide dashboard tells you what international buyers actually wanted to know about your country’s products.
Three-day shows where every booth has a deeply technical product and visitors range from CTOs to procurement officers. Everyone wants different details, and brochures cannot keep up.
A popular speaker is mobbed for ten minutes after the session, then has to clear the room. Attendees with detailed questions don’t get them answered. A QR code on the room signage lets the conversation continue from the seat. The organizer learns which sessions sparked the most follow-up, and what to program more of next year.
Only a small fraction of exhibitors offer any kind of QR experience at their booth. The handful who do almost always redirect to a static brochure or website.
Whether you run one annual flagship event or a portfolio of international shows, the data you have been throwing out is the data you will wish you had next year. We can walk you through it in 15 minutes, dashboard included.
