This template automates the process of extracting speaker information from an event or conference website and saving it into a structured list in a Google Sheet.
This automation streamlines the collection of speaker data from any event website. Here’s how it works:
Navigates to the Event: The automation begins by loading the event website URL you provide.
Finds the Speakers: It intelligently searches the site for a "Speakers" section, clicking on links like "speakers" or "view all speakers" to navigate to the correct page. It can also handle common popups like cookie consent banners.
Loads All Data: To ensure no speaker is missed on pages with infinite scroll, it automatically scrolls to the bottom of the page to load all content.
Extracts Speaker Details: Using an AI-powered query, it scans the page and extracts a comprehensive list of all speakers. For each speaker, it captures their full name, job title, company, bio, photo URL, and session information.
Saves to Google Sheets: Finally, it formats this information and appends it as new rows to the Google Sheet you specified, creating an organized list for your use.
Usage Ideas
Create targeted lead lists of industry experts for sales and marketing outreach.
Build a database of potential speakers for your own future events.
Compile speaker bios and photos for event programs or promotional materials.
Gather research on conference presenters and their topics within a specific field.
Quickly source industry influencers for potential collaborations or partnerships.
Customization Ideas
This template is a powerful starting point that you can easily adapt to your specific needs. You can ask to:
Change the Destination: Instead of saving to Google Sheets, you can send the data to a Slack channel, create records in a database, or save it in another format.
Customize Extracted Data: You can modify the list of information you want to collect for each speaker. For example, you could add their LinkedIn profile URL or remove their session details.
Adapt to Any Website: If a website uses unique navigation (e.g., a "Presenters" link instead of "Speakers"), you can specify the correct terms to use for navigation.
Format Your Output: The way data is written to your spreadsheet can be customized to match your existing column structure perfectly.
Limit the Scope: You can set a maximum number of speakers to process if you only need a sample from a large event.
