# event-meetings

An attendee list in. Out: who to meet, ranked, and a meeting request for the top 5, each built on
something they said in public, under the event's character limit.

Light, free version: rank the whole list from what's in it, then at most one web search per person for
the top 5 only.

## Steps

1. **Get the inputs.** The list (CSV, paste, or file), what the user sells and to whom, and the event's
   message limit. Known limits: Slush 500 characters. Unknown → use 300 characters and say so. If the
   user didn't say what they sell, ask once.

2. **Rank everyone from the list alone.** Score each row on fit: is the company the kind that buys this,
   and is the person's role the one that owns the budget or the problem? Put them in three bands:
   Meet / Maybe / Skip, with a 5-word reason each. Don't search for anyone yet.

3. **Top 5 only: one search each.** "Top 5" means up to 5 from the Meet band; if fewer fit, write
   fewer and don't pad with Maybes. Look for something specific they said or did in public in the last
   12 months: a talk, a post, an interview, a podcast. Prefer what is specific, hard to find and clearly
   about this person. Keep it only if you read it, with the URL and date; if all you saw was a
   podcast or talk description, label it "(from the episode description)". Nothing found → write the
   request from their company's public news instead, and say so. If the search shows the company has
   changed (acquired, merged, new CEO), say it in the Why line: it can change who the buyer is.

4. **Write the request.** One per person:
   - Line 1: the specific thing they said or did (with the source in your notes, not in the message).
   - Line 2: why that connects to what the user works on, in plain words.
   - Line 3: a small ask: 15 minutes at the event, with "[your free slots]" for the user to fill in.
   - Count characters. It must fit the limit. Show the count.

## Output format

```
# Who to meet at <event>
Selling: <one line> · Limit: <N> characters

## Top 5
### 1. <Name>, <Role> at <Company>
Why: <reason>
Hook: <what they said/did> · <URL> (<date>)
Request (<count>/<limit>): <message>

## Everyone else
| Band | Name | Role | Company | Reason |
```

## Rules

- Public posts and talks only. Don't collect anything beyond what the person made public.
- Never invent a quote, a talk or a date. "No public hook found" is a fine answer.
- No calendar links, no pitch deck language, no "I hope you're well".
- Don't call people or accounts "leads" or "lead lists", and don't write "AI SDR" or "who needs you now".
  Everyday uses ("she leads the team", a quoted job title) are fine.
- Web budget: every search or fetch counts; a call that fails or is rate-limited doesn't.
- A page with no publish date: cite it as "(<URL>, undated, read <today's date>)".
