Speaker List Builder
Scrape speaker information (like name, title, and company) from any conference website and automatically save the cleaned data into a new, organized Google Sheet.
This automation acts like a research assistant, browsing a conference website on your behalf. First, it navigates to the URL you provide and intelligently handles any cookie banners that appear. It then searches for the "Speakers" page using several strategies, just like a human would—it looks for links in the main menu, tries common URL paths like /speakers, and checks for "View all speakers" buttons.
Once on the correct page, the automation diligently scrolls or clicks through all pages to ensure every speaker is loaded. It then extracts the name, title, and company for each person. Finally, it compiles all this information, removes any duplicates, and creates a brand-new Google Sheet with the data neatly organized, returning the shareable link to you upon completion.
Usage Ideas
- Build targeted outreach lists for sales and marketing campaigns before, during, or after an event.
- Source high-quality candidates for recruitment by identifying experts and leaders in a specific field.
- Conduct market research on the roles, seniority, and companies that are most represented at key industry events.
- Create a personal "who's who" guide to a conference you're attending to better plan your networking.
Customization Ideas
This template is a powerful starting point that can be easily tailored to your specific needs. You can ask for customizations such as:
- Changing the Destination: Save the speaker list to a different service you use, like Airtable or your CRM, instead of Google Sheets.
- Extracting More Data: Capture additional information for each speaker, such as their biography, session titles, or social media profile links.
- Customizing the Output: Modify the column headers in the final spreadsheet or change the file's naming convention to better suit your workflow.
- Adding Custom Filters: Apply more specific rules to the final list, for example, by only including speakers from certain companies or excluding those with generic job titles.
