What is Backtrack?
Backtrack is an AI-powered platform designed for event organizers, sponsors, and exhibitors to capture and analyze scheduled 1:1 meetings at trade shows, conferences, and hosted buyer programs. It automatically records in-person meetings using pre-configured devices, generates accurate transcripts using AI tailored for bustling venues, and creates CRM-ready notes with buyer intent, objections, priorities, and next steps.
Key features include automatic meeting capture based on attendee agendas, AI-powered transcription and summarization, speaker detection for multi-person conversations (up to 4 people per table), CRM integration for automated lead entries, opt-out capabilities for attendees, dashboards for team activity monitoring, and macro reports with anonymized insights on conversation trends and sentiment. The platform also provides ROI reports that help sponsors prove event value and justify rebooking.
Backtrack is specifically built for event organizers who need to show sponsors and exhibitors concrete proof of meeting value, sales teams attending trade shows who need to capture leads without manual note-taking, and attendee marketing teams who struggle to prove trip ROI internally. It is optimized for B2B buyer/seller meetings at events, not for badge scanning, lead retrieval, or event registration.
