NECANN offers a lead retrieval service through the Captello app. This platform offers the exhibitor the opportunity to customize the interaction with a lead to improve the experience and drive higher ROI at NECANN conventions. Lead retrieval service is optional and is priced at $195 for each different NECANN show in which you exhibit. However, no additional cost is necessary to share the lead retrieval license with your staff. Here are a couple of short videos providing more information about the service:

SCAM ALERT/FRAUDULENT SERVICES
In your online booth profile, the “Public Contact” fields are OPTIONAL, and we recommend that they be left blank until the week of the convention. If you have visible contact information in your profile in the weeks/months leading up to the convention, it WILL be used by scammers to bombard your email and phone number with phony offers to sell you attendee lists, hotel accommodations, shipping, etc. NECANN and our partners NEVER sell our contact information or make it available to 3rd parties.
Any email or phone offer to sell you an attendee or exhibitor lists, hotel reservations, shipping services, etc. is a scam.
If you have any doubts about the legitimacy of someone claiming to be a representative of NECANN, please contact NECANN’s Kris at [email protected]
