A Vendelux alternative you can try before a sales call

Vendelux sells event intelligence to enterprise event teams on annual contracts. ConferenceGrid answers the same underlying question — which events matter to the accounts I care about — from the company side, at $199 a month, with a free tier to check whether the coverage fits before you pay.

Two different starting points

Vendelux starts from the event. Its pitch is helping event marketers pick which conferences to attend or sponsor, backed by predicted attendee lists. That is genuinely useful if event selection is your job and your budget clears an enterprise contract.

ConferenceGrid starts from the company. You hand it a list of target accounts or competitors, and it returns every booth, sponsorship and stage appearance those companies hold across 3,651 upcoming events — one consolidated record per company, with alerts when something new appears. Sales teams use it to know where their accounts will be; marketing teams use it to shadow competitor event spend. Start from any company page — that part is free.

The catalog behind it is scraped from each event's own website and re-verified nightly, so a sponsorship listed here is one the event itself published — not a user submission or a prediction.

When Vendelux is the better buy

If your central question is “who will attend this event?”, buy Vendelux. Attendee prediction is its core feature and ConferenceGrid doesn't do it at all — we publish what events themselves publish: sponsors, exhibitors, speakers, dates and venues.

If your question is “where will these specific companies be, and when does something change?” — that's what ConferenceGrid is for, and you can verify the coverage on your own accounts today without talking to anyone. Pricing is public: free, $199, $499, or a custom tier.

Common questions

Is there a cheaper alternative to Vendelux?

ConferenceGrid starts at $199/month self-serve, with a free tier that lets you browse the full catalog and track up to 5 conferences before paying anything. Vendelux doesn't publish pricing; it sells annual contracts through a sales process.

Can ConferenceGrid tell me which conferences my competitors sponsor?

Yes — that's the core workflow. Hand it a list of competitor or target-account names and it returns every booth, sponsorship and speaking slot those companies hold across the tracked catalog, consolidated into one record per company. The company pages are free to browse.

How is ConferenceGrid's data collected?

A scraping pipeline reads each event's own website and a verification gate checks dates, venue and organizer against that source before a listing is published. Sponsor and exhibitor rosters come from the event's published pages, not user submissions.

When is Vendelux the better choice?

If you're an event marketer deciding which events to attend based on predicted attendee lists, or you want AI-scored event recommendations and have enterprise budget, Vendelux is built for exactly that. ConferenceGrid is the better fit when the question is company-first — where will these specific accounts be — and when you want to start without a contract.
