Automatically track conference expenses, measure lead generation ROI, and generate executive reports for future event budget planning and optimization.

Workflow Steps

1

Expensify

Track all conference-related expenses

Use Expensify to photograph receipts and automatically categorize expenses (registration, travel, meals, materials). Create a specific project for 'TechCrunch Disrupt 2026' to isolate all related costs and generate detailed expense reports.

2

Airtable

Consolidate expense data with lead metrics

Create an Airtable base that imports Expensify data and combines it with lead generation metrics from your CRM. Include fields for total cost, leads generated, meeting bookings, deals influenced, and timeline to close.

3

HubSpot

Track lead progression and revenue attribution

Use HubSpot's campaign tracking to monitor how TechCrunch leads progress through your sales funnel. Set up revenue attribution to track which conference-generated leads convert to customers and their total contract value.

4

Tableau

Create executive ROI dashboard

Connect Tableau to Airtable and HubSpot to create a comprehensive dashboard showing cost per lead, conversion rates, revenue attribution, and projected ROI. Include comparisons to other marketing channels and recommendations for future events.
