Is there an exhibitor list for IDEA?
Yes. The organizer publishes the exhibitor list. The IDEA27 registration page says 400 exhibitors. It names no edition. The public exhibitor list on the site is the 2025 list.
Can I get the attendee list for IDEA?
Organizers rarely publish one. EarlyHall builds it from public sources: exhibitor and speaker pages and social posts, plus the event app when you give us access. Each person is tagged with their role at the event and the source we found them in, and a listing is never presented as confirmed attendance. Lists start at $349 per event.
