## The RSA math

Same event, same booth, same team. What changes is how the funnel narrows.

Without Luminik

1. 43,000 attendees on the floor
2. 1,500 random badge scans
3. 20 opportunities (1.3% L2O)

Mid-six-figure spend. No defensible ROI number.

With Luminik · 3 events

1. 1,840 ICP-matched at RSA alone
2. 85+ booked meetings across 3 events
3. 6x L2O rate (1.3% to 8%)

$2.4M attributed pipeline in Salesforce, 48 hours after floor close.

RSA + Black Hat + 1 regional summit. Numbers from a Series C cybersecurity customer. Past performance, not a promise.
