Everything the scan was built from, and what each source was used for.
v. 1.0.0 · updated 18 September 2026
This list is reconstructed after the fact and I would not swear it is complete. Searches that
returned nothing useful are not recorded, and a handful of pages consulted early on are no longer traceable.
Where a record in the scan rests on a single source, that is noted in the record itself through the depth and
booth-source fields rather than here.
The primary source
201 IBC-tagged email threads received between June and 8 September 2026, read directly. This is where the
scan starts and it is the one source that cannot be linked. Ninety-three of the hundred companies in scope
reached me this way. Thirty-nine records were built from reading the full message; twenty-seven rest on a
subject line, a newsletter snippet or a directory blurb, and are marked as such.
Official IBC sources the show's own record

What was tried and failed recorded because it shaped the method
The IBC exhibitor directory, fetched directlyRenders through JavaScript that returns an empty template to both a plain fetch and a rendering browser. This is why the Hall 5 list had to be supplied by hand, and why no other hall was cross-referenced the same way.
LinkedInBlocks automated access, so posts referenced during the work could not be read.
A 2025 Hall 5 floor planSurfaced from an earlier conversation and used before its year was checked. It put wrong booth codes on nine records. Every Hall 5 code was subsequently re-verified against the official 2026 directory, and codes traced to the 2025 plan were removed.
