How Tech Sommet filled Legal Tech India Delhi with the right delegates

Tech Sommet runs executive summits funded by sponsors. Its rooms were filled by hand: the team's own LinkedIn accounts, emails and phone calls. We added a delegate engine: persona lists for every event, calendar invites, LinkedIn conversation ads and visitor tracking.

The starting point

Where they started

What was in the way before the first campaign went out.

The goal

At least 100 of the right people registered for every in-person event, and sponsor conversations alongside.

01

Rooms filled by hand

Registrations came from the team's own LinkedIn accounts and a routine of email, then LinkedIn, then a phone call.

02

No marketing assets

There were no ad creatives, and the site got about 75 visitors a month.

03

Clicks that didn't convert

People reached the event pages and left, and nobody knew who they were.

04

A new audience every event

A payments summit, an HR summit and a legal summit each need different people, often in different countries.

The ideal customer

Who we went after

Agreed with the team before the first campaign. Every list, message and ad was built for these people and nobody else.

Hi First name, Custom opener. That's exactly what's being tackled at the ProcureTech Leaders Summit 2026, May 21, Frankfurt.

200+ CPOs in one room. Speakers from Tata Steel, Adecco, ZF Group, MANN+HUMMEL and more, covering AI sourcing, geopolitical risk and the evolving CPO mandate.

Subjectcontained or actually resolved?

Quick question on the contact centre at Company: when your IVR or bot contains a contact, how often does that customer call back within the week?

Containment looks good on the report. Repeat contacts are where the cost comes back.

Should I share the details?

Timeline

How it unfolded

From the first call to where the account stands now.

  1. 10 Mar
    Proposal

    Sent the evening of the first call.

  3. 20 Apr
    Visitor ID

    Visitor identification added to the event pages.

  4. May
    A hard month

    Frankfurt: good ad leads, wrong phone numbers and no registrations we could claim. We switched to a complimentary-pass angle and calendar invites.

  5. 22 Jun
    Delhi conversation ads

    Separate ads for in-house legal and law firms.

  6. 20 Jul
    145 registrations

    Ads narrowed to a 40 km radius around the venue.

  7. 24 Jul
    Legal Tech India Delhi

    About 100 senior legal leaders attended.

  8. Aug to Sep
    A leaner plan

    Budget cut, so email and calendar invites stayed, and ads were kept for in-person events.

  9. Oct
    Sponsor-led events

    Lists matched to each sponsor's ICP, with a new project manager on the account.

Problems and fixes

What didn't work, and what we changed

Every campaign hits problems. These are the ones that mattered, and the fix for each.

What went wrong

No registrations we could claim before Frankfurt

What we changed

A complimentary-pass creative, a direct lead form and calendar invites to every lead.

What went wrong

Clicks on event pages that went nowhere

What we changed

Visitor identification, then email and LinkedIn to the people who left.

What went wrong

Most Delhi ad leads were advocates, not in-house counsel

What we changed

A 40 km radius around the venue and separate ads for in-house teams and law firms.

What went wrong

LinkedIn ad credit limits and paused accounts

What we changed

Rotated ad accounts and LinkedIn's own spend offers so campaigns kept running.

What went wrong

Ads launched too close to event dates

What we changed

A 48-hour launch rule once an event is confirmed.

What the team said

In their words

LinkedIn recommendations, unedited, and lines from recorded review calls.

“Palash and the Growthinfi team have played a big role in helping us fill our events. Their go-to-market and outbound approach, built on intent signals, got us in front of the right sponsors and buyers. Their process is well organized and focused on results. I'd happily recommend working with Palash.”
Rukhsar BhattiRukhsar BhattiEvent marketing specialistLinkedIn recommendation
“One thing is clear, that calendar invite thing worked for us. We got a good number of attendees.”
Ankit MalviyaTech SommetReview call, July 2026
“I mentioned complimentary, it changed the whole game.”
Rukhsar BhattiTech SommetReview call, May 2026
Takeaways

What we'd tell a team like theirs

  1. In India, LinkedIn ads filled the room. For US and European events, email and calendar invites did more.
  2. A complimentary pass beats a registration link.
  3. In-person events need ads three weeks out, not three days.
