How to Build a Conference Sponsor List
Use ProfileSpider to build a conference sponsor list from public event sponsor, partner, and exhibitor pages. Extract the visible sponsors, save them to a list, enrich missing details, and export to CSV, Excel, or JSON.
Goal
What This Workflow Is For
Turn public conference sponsor and partner pages into a structured list you can qualify, enrich, and export.
Use this workflow when a conference, trade show, or industry event publishes a public sponsor or partner page and you want that data in a spreadsheet. Sponsor lists are high-intent because companies that sponsor an event are actively spending budget to reach that audience, which signals strong fit for sales, partnership, and sponsorship outreach.
Whether you sell to those companies, recruit sponsors for your own event, or research a market, ProfileSpider reads the visible sponsor listings and turns them into structured rows you can qualify and export.
This page is focused on the ProfileSpider workflow: open the sponsor or partner page in Chrome, extract the visible sponsors, save the rows to a list, optionally enrich missing details, and export the list as CSV, Excel, or JSON.
Prerequisites
Before You Start
Confirm the page and tooling match this workflow.
Before you start, make sure you have:
- ProfileSpider installed in Chrome and signed in
- A public conference sponsor, partner, or supporter page open in a normal Chrome tab
- Sponsor logos, listings, or rows with names and links visible on the page
- A rough idea of the columns you want, such as sponsor name, tier, website, contact, location, and source URL
This workflow works best when the sponsor page shows sponsor names and website links in live HTML. If sponsors appear only as image logos without text or links, extraction may be limited.
Fit
Best For / Not Ideal For
Set expectations before you install or run an extract.
Best for
- Conference and summit sponsor pages
- Trade show partner and supporter pages
- Event sponsor tier listings (platinum, gold, silver)
- Industry awards and program sponsor pages
- Recurring event sponsor archives by year
- Sponsorship sales and partnership research
Not ideal for
- Sponsor pages that only show image logos with no names or links
- Sponsor data locked inside an event app or login you cannot access
- PDFs, screenshots, or images of sponsor walls
- Pages where sponsors only appear after complex in-page interactions
- Single-sponsor pages with no repeated rows
Steps
Step-by-Step Workflow
- 1
Open the sponsor or partner page in Chrome
Go to the public conference sponsor, partner, or supporter page and wait until the sponsor listings are fully loaded and visible.
If sponsors are grouped by tier, plan to capture the tier so you can prioritize the larger sponsors later.
- 2
Open ProfileSpider
Click the ProfileSpider extension icon. The extension will analyze the current page and prepare the extraction workflow.
- 3
Review the fields you want to capture
Common fields for sponsor pages include sponsor name, tier or level, website, contact, LinkedIn URL, location, and source URL.
ProfileSpider structures the data visible on the page. When sponsors are linked logos, the name and website can often be captured; pure image logos may not.
- 4
Run the extraction
Start the extraction. ProfileSpider turns the repeated sponsor listings on the page into structured rows. A normal page scrape uses one credit.
- 5
Save the sponsors to a list
Save the extracted rows to a new or existing list. Use tags to record the event, year, and sponsor tier so you can prioritize outreach.
For example, save rows to a list named âSaaSConf 2026 sponsorsâ and tag rows by tier such as platinum, gold, or silver.
- 6
Enrich and export the sponsor list
Review the rows, remove anyone outside your target, and enrich missing details such as a named contact where useful. Export the saved list as CSV, Excel, or JSON for outreach or research.
Schema
What ProfileSpider Extracts
Default fields for this workflow. Add or remove columns before you extract.
- Sponsor NameThe sponsoring company or organization name shown on the page.
- Tier / LevelSponsorship tier or level, such as platinum, gold, silver, or partner, when shown.
- WebsiteThe sponsor website linked from the sponsor logo or listing, when available.
- ContactA named contact when the page exposes one. Often added later by enrichment or research.
- LinkedIn URLA LinkedIn company page URL if the sponsor page links to one.
- EmailAn email address if it is visible on the page. Missing emails can be handled later with email finding where available.
- LocationCity, region, or country when present in the listing.
- Source URLThe sponsor or partner page the row came from, useful for verification and deduplication.

Troubleshooting
Common Problems
Sponsors are shown as image logos
If logos link to sponsor websites, ProfileSpider can often capture the name and link. If the logos are plain images with no text or links, extraction may be limited.
Sponsors are grouped by tier across sections
Capture each tier section and tag the rows by tier so you can prioritize platinum and gold sponsors for outreach.
The page lists companies but no contacts
Save the sponsor rows first, then enrich the website or open the sponsor team page to add a named contact, and use email finding where available.
The same sponsor appears on multiple event pages
Sponsors often support several events. Review duplicates inside the saved list and keep the source URL and event tag for context.
The sponsor list spans several years
Extract each year's sponsor page and save to the same list with a year tag, then deduplicate to find repeat sponsors worth prioritizing.
