How to Extract LinkedIn Event Attendees to CSV (No Sales Nav, 2026)

LinkedIn events are one of the most underused lead sources in B2B sales. Every person who registers for a webinar or virtual summit on your topic has done something rare: they have publicly signaled intent around the exact problem you solve. That is worth more than any keyword search result.

This tutorial shows you how to extract those attendees to a clean CSV file, step by step, using the Leadsforlinked Chrome extension. No Sales Navigator subscription needed.

Why event attendees are the warmest LinkedIn prospects

Cold outreach reply rates depend almost entirely on relevance at the moment of contact. The problem with a LinkedIn search export is that you have no signal beyond job title and company, which means your relevance is inferred, not confirmed.

Event attendees flip that equation. The person registered for a webinar called "Scaling B2B Sales in 2026." They did that on purpose. They have the problem. They are actively looking for solutions. That is a first-party intent signal sitting in plain view on LinkedIn.

The numbers back this up. According to Lemlist's outreach benchmark data, intent-targeted LinkedIn sequences generate 2 to 3 times higher reply rates compared to cold searches against a generic title filter. A 10% reply rate on a cold search becomes 20 to 30% when you lead with event context.

LinkedIn events range from small 50-person niche meetups to 50,000-person industry summits. Any event with 200 or more attendees in your vertical is a prospecting asset worth exporting immediately.

What data you can export from LinkedIn event attendees

Each attendee export through Leadsforlinked returns the following fields:

• Full name
• LinkedIn profile URL
• Current job title
• Current company name
• Location (city or country)
• Connection degree (1st, 2nd, 3rd)

Email enrichment is available as an add-on for users on paid plans. The base export is always 1 credit per attendee, giving you the full LinkedIn profile data above in a clean CSV.

What you do not get: private email addresses, phone numbers, or any data not visible on the public LinkedIn profile. This is by design and is the reason the extraction is GDPR-safe.

Step-by-step tutorial: export LinkedIn event attendees with Leadsforlinked

Step 1. Find a relevant LinkedIn event in your niche

On LinkedIn, click the search bar and select "Events" from the filter dropdown, or go to linkedin.com/events. Search for keywords matching your ICP's pain points: "B2B Sales", "SaaS Growth", "Revenue Operations", "LinkedIn for Recruiters", "Demand Generation Summit".

When you find a candidate event, check two things before extracting:

1. Attendee count. Anything under 100 attendees is a small batch. Over 500 is a solid export.
2. Event recency. Recent or upcoming events have the most engaged attendees. Events from more than 6 months ago are still useful but engagement is lower.

Open the event page. You will see the attendees count near the top, something like "1,243 attendees." Click that number to open the attendees panel.

Step 2. Install the Leadsforlinked Chrome extension

If you have not done this already, go to the Chrome Web Store and search for "Leadsforlinked." Install the extension, then sign up for a free account at leadsforlinked.konektcrm.com. You receive 100 free credits immediately, no credit card required.

The extension icon will appear in your Chrome toolbar. Click it to open the Leadsforlinked sidebar.

Step 3. Open the event attendees list on LinkedIn

With the event page open and the attendees panel visible, you are ready to extract. LinkedIn will display attendees in a scrollable list. You do not need to scroll manually. Leadsforlinked handles pagination automatically.

Make sure your LinkedIn account is logged in. A standard free LinkedIn account is enough. Premium or Sales Navigator adds no benefit for this specific sourcing method.

Step 4. Activate the Event Attendees sourcing method and set filters

In the Leadsforlinked extension sidebar, click the sourcing method selector and choose Event Attendees. The extension detects the event you have open and pre-fills the event ID.

Now apply filters to narrow down to your ICP:

• Title filter: include keywords like "VP Sales", "Head of Growth", "Founder", "SDR Manager"
• Company size filter: if you target SMB, exclude Enterprise accounts (10,000+ employees) and vice versa
• Geography: useful if you target a specific region or country

Filters are applied after extraction, meaning Leadsforlinked extracts all visible attendees first and then lets you filter locally. Credits are only consumed for attendees that pass your filters if you use the selective export mode.

Step 5. Select and export to CSV

Click Extract in the sidebar. Leadsforlinked will work through the attendees list. For a 1,000-person event, extraction typically takes 45 to 90 seconds depending on your internet connection.

When extraction is complete, click Export CSV. The file downloads to your default downloads folder. It is ready to import into your CRM, outreach tool (Lemlist, La Growth Machine, Instantly, etc.), or spreadsheet.

Which events to target in 2026 (by use case)

Not all LinkedIn events are equal as prospecting pools. Here is a breakdown by use case:

If you sell to sales teams

• "Sales Mastery Summit" type events (recurring, large audiences)
• "Outbound Sales Week" or "SDR Summit"
• CRM-sponsored webinars (Salesforce, HubSpot events)
• Events tagged with "Revenue Operations" or "B2B Growth"

If you sell to recruiters or HR teams

• "LinkedIn for Recruiters" official events
• "Future of HR" or "Talent Acquisition Summit" events
• People analytics and HR tech webinars

If you sell to marketing teams

• Demand generation and ABM summits
• Content marketing and SEO webinars
• Events run by Metadata, Bombora, or similar MarTech vendors

Competitor webinars: the underrated play

One of the highest-conversion event sourcing tactics is extracting attendees from your competitor's webinars. If a competitor ran a "How to use [Competitor Tool] for outbound" webinar and 800 people registered, those 800 people have a confirmed need for the category you both play in. You just need to reach them first with a better offer.

This is 100% public data. LinkedIn event attendance is visible by default.

Math: one B2B event = how many real leads?

Let us work through a realistic example.

From one event export, at 250 credits, you can realistically book 15 to 22 meetings. Compare that to a generic title-filter search at the same credit cost, where reply rates of 5 to 8% would yield 12 to 20 replies total, and only 4 to 6 meetings.

Event attendees are not just marginally better. They are a categorically different quality of prospect.

GDPR compliance when extracting event attendees

A question that comes up every time: is extracting LinkedIn event attendees GDPR-compliant?

The short answer is yes, with a clear rationale:

1. Public data only. Leadsforlinked extracts only what is visible to any logged-in LinkedIn user. No scraping of private or restricted data.
2. Event attendance is public by default. When a LinkedIn user registers for an event, their attendance is listed publicly on the event page unless they have explicitly set their profile to private. Most professional users on public events have not done this.
3. Legitimate interest basis. Under GDPR Article 6(1)(f), reaching out to a professional who has publicly signaled interest in a relevant topic falls under legitimate interest when done proportionately and with an opt-out mechanism in every outreach.
4. EU infrastructure. Leadsforlinked's data processing happens on EU-based servers, keeping data flows within the GDPR jurisdiction.

Best practice: always include an easy opt-out in your outreach messages ("Reply STOP to opt out of further messages") and honor every opt-out immediately.
