Finding Trade Shows and Exhibitors Using Clay Tools

Any recommendations on how to use clay to obtain a list of trade shows in my industry and then the exhibitors from those tradeshows? I don't want to rely on tradeshow listing websites as they seem not to have many of the tradeshows I've manually found so far.

You can pull trade show lists with RSS feeds, and use the rss enrichment. Then qualify the trade shows, and use an apify actor to scrape them.

Here's how you can use Clay for your trade show list workflow: 1. Use our "Fetch RSS Feed Items with RSS Feeds" action to pull trade show lists from relevant RSS feeds. 2. Once the data is in Clay, use our "write to table" feature to qualify the trade shows based on your criteria. 3. For scraping additional details, use the "Run Apify Actor with Apify" action. Select an appropriate Apify actor for trade show websites and configure it with your specific requirements. 4. The Apify integration allows you to extract detailed information from trade show websites, enhancing your dataset. This combination of RSS feeds, Clay's data manipulation, and Apify's scraping capabilities provides a powerful workflow for comprehensive trade show research.

Hi Nicolas, thanks for your message. I second what David mentioned above - you can configure a custom RSS feed through google news, which will stream in all articles which mention the trade shows within the specific domain that you're interested in for prospecting. Once you have the name of those trade shows, you can deploy Claygent, our AI webagent to pull structured exhibitor attendance data and write it to a separate table for further enrichment, finding people in decision making positions you're interested in reaching out to etc. Here's a video showing you how to use Claygent at its full potential: https://www.clay.com/university/lesson/claygent-ai-web-scraper-clay-101
