Every Conference, Scored: The Full ROI Reference Table

The conferences we cover, scored on 15 published commitments — meeting infrastructure, audience transparency, cost clarity, logistics, and follow-up. The promises you can plan on, in one table.

A conference pass plus travel is a four-figure bet, and the biggest events often make the fewest promises. This table scores the conferences we cover on the same 15 published commitments as the Conference ROI Index — meeting infrastructure, audience transparency, cost clarity, logistics, and follow-up — each counted only where the event publishes it. Unverified counts as No, so the score is the floor you can plan on, not a guess.

Columns: M meeting infrastructure · A audience transparency · $ cost clarity · L logistics · F follow-up — each scored 0–3. The /100 is the total of all 15 checks.

Field average: 40/100. Highest: HLTH (80). Of the 93 conferences we cover, 70 are scored here (60 researched from their official sites, verified July 24, 2026; 10 from the in-depth Conference ROI Index) and 23 are pending — see below. Registration, pricing, and app features change year to year; confirm on the official site.

A score requires reading the commitment on the event's own resolving official page. These events' official sites block automated verification (Cloudflare 403 or JavaScript-only pages), so we cannot confirm their commitments to that standard — and we will not publish a number we can't stand behind. They are pending manual verification, not judged:

How the score works

Five dimensions, three published checks each, one point apiece — 15 total, shown as a /100. A check counts only where it is verifiable on the event's own official page: its website, registration or pricing page, exhibitor or sponsor prospectus, or event app. “Usually” and “probably” score No. The score rewards what an organizer will commit to in writing — the things you can plan a trip around — not the size of the keynote. Hosted-buyer and trade events tend to score highest; keynote-driven vendor events lowest.
