Export LinkedIn Event Attendees: How to Download and Use the Attendee List

LinkedIn Events are one of the most underrated ways to find new prospects. Every day, thousands of professionals join webinars, conferences, and networking sessions hosted on LinkedIn. These participants are not just casual scrollers; they’ve registered for an event because they’re genuinely interested in a topic, solution, or industry trend.

For sales, marketing, and business development professionals, this makes LinkedIn event attendees a ready-made audience for outreach. The challenge is that LinkedIn doesn’t provide a direct “export” button to download the list. That’s where the right approach—and the right tools—make all the difference.

This guide will walk you through everything you need to know about how to export LinkedIn event attendees, enrich that data with verified contact details, and use it effectively for lead generation.

Why Export LinkedIn Event Attendees?

If you’ve ever tried cold prospecting, you know how time-consuming and unqualified it can be. Exporting LinkedIn event attendees solves that problem in three ways:

1. Highly relevant audience – These are professionals who have opted into an event related to your industry. They’re more likely to engage compared to cold leads.
2. Instant list building – You get access to hundreds or even thousands of contacts from a single event, without manual searching.
3. Warm outreach opportunities – Referencing the shared event makes your outreach natural, personalized, and less salesy.

Instead of spending weeks compiling a list, you can build one in minutes—and focus on connecting with prospects who already care about the topics you cover.

Step 1: Find the Right LinkedIn Events

Start with LinkedIn’s search bar. Enter keywords related to your industry, product, or target market. Then filter results by Events.

Each event card will display:

• The event name and description
• The number of attendees registered
• The host or organizer

Browse the list to identify events your target audience is likely to attend. For example, if you sell SaaS solutions for HR, look for events about HR technology, recruitment, or workforce trends.

When you find a relevant event, click Attend. This step is crucial because LinkedIn only reveals the attendee list once you’ve joined the event.

Step 2: Access the Attendee List

After clicking Attend, you’ll notice a new Networking tab on the event page. This section displays the number of attendees and lets you browse their profiles.

Important details to remember:

• You must join the event to unlock the attendee list. Even if the event hasn’t started (or has already ended), registering gives you access to the list. Some attendees may choose to hide their visibility due to privacy settings.

At this stage, you can manually scroll through profiles, but that quickly becomes unmanageable for larger events. To use the list effectively, you need to export it.

Step 3: Export the Attendee List

LinkedIn does not provide a native “export attendees” option. That’s where Email-Researcher comes in.

With Email-Researcher, you can simply export LinkedIn event attendees to Excel.

In minutes, you’ll have the attendees data in Excel format. The export typically includes:

• LinkedIn profile URL
• First and last name
• Job title and headline
• Company details

Instead of spending hours copying profiles one by one, you now have a structured list ready to work with.

Step 4: Enrich Attendee Data with Contact Information

A LinkedIn profile is a good start, but outreach often requires direct contact details. This is where Email-Researcher adds another layer of value.

Once you export the attendee list, you can use Email-Researcher to search for:

• Verified business email addresses
• Work phone number

This saves you from juggling multiple tools or databases. You get a complete prospecting list in one place—profiles plus verified contact details.

Step 5: Reach Out to Attendees

Now comes the most important step: connecting with your new list of prospects. There are three primary ways to engage with LinkedIn event attendees:

1. LinkedIn Message Requests
   Inside the event’s Networking tab, you can send a message request to attendees without being first-degree connections. LinkedIn even tags the message with the event name (“Via [Event Name]”) to provide context.
2. Connection Requests or InMails
   You can also send a personalized connection request referencing the event.
   Example:
   “Hi [Name],
   I saw you also attended [Event Name].
   I’d love to stay connected and hear your thoughts on the session.”
   If you have InMail credits, you can reach attendees directly in their primary inbox, which often increases response rates.
3. Email Outreach
   With the enriched email addresses from Email-Researcher, you can send direct emails. Always mention the event in your subject or opening line.
   Example:
   “Hi [Name], following up from [Event Name]—I thought you might find this resource useful.”
   The key is personalization. Instead of a generic pitch, show genuine interest in the attendee’s perspective or role.

Best Practices for Using LinkedIn Event Attendees

• Register for the event early – This gives you more time to review and sort attendees before outreach.
• Reach out soon – Engage within a few days of the event, while the topic is still fresh in attendees’ minds.
• Segment your list – Group attendees by job title, company size, or industry for tailored messaging.
• Keep outreach professional – Avoid bulk or spammy messages. Personalized, one-to-one communication works best.
• Use event context – Reference specific speakers, sessions, or themes to make your outreach feel authentic.
• Leverage multiple channels – If someone doesn’t respond on LinkedIn, follow up with an email.
