Import attendees from a LinkedIn event

Build a list from the people who signed up for an event.

Everyone who signed up for a LinkedIn event is a list you can import, and the event itself is a reason to get in touch.

Copy the event URL

Open the event page on LinkedIn and copy the URL from your browser's address bar.

The address bar is where the event URL comes from — copy the whole thing.

Import it

  1. Go to Leads and click New import.
  2. Choose Import LinkedIn event attendees.
  3. Fill in the two fields:
    • A name for the list
    • The event URL
  4. Click Start export.
A dialog headed Export attendees of a Linkedin event, warning you must attend the event, with fields for a list name and the event URL.
The empty dialog. Note the warning: you have to be attending the event to see its attendees.

Filled in. The highlights mark the two fields and the button that starts the import.

While it runs

The list appears under Leads and fills as attendees are collected. Other imports queue up behind it and are worked through one at a time.

Click the list name to see who has arrived so far.

Which quota it uses

  • With Sales Navigator, it draws on the Sales Navigator allowance
  • Without it, the standard LinkedIn allowance applies — 80 attendees a day

A large event therefore imports over several days on a standard account.
