Didn’t get the right sponsors & delegates in the room at your last B2B Event?
Let’s fix that.

Your next B2B Event is coming soon.
Do you have a plan for putting the right delegates & the right sponsors in the room?

Does this sound familiar?

Your sales team is already stretched.
Response rates are a constant challenge.
And the event is getting closer.

This is where most event teams default to volume.
More emails. More calls. More pressure.

But more effort isn’t the answer.
Better preparation is. 

Instead of cold lists and hoping for the best, or putting more pressure on your already-stretched sales team, I surface who's ready to talk.

So your team spends time closing, not chasing.

Because:
1. The best events are won months before the doors open, not weeks
2. Targeted outreach beats spray and pray: you need quality and volume
3. Your sales team should be closing, not hunting

I’ve seen this from every seat at the table.

As a delegate at Samsung Europe, I’ve sat in rooms that crackled with energy; and rooms that felt half empty.

As a sponsor, I’ve invested in events that delivered real pipeline; and events that over promised but under delivered.

As a GTM operator, I’ve built the systems that fill rooms with the right people months before the doors open. 

From this unique position, I help B2B event teams fill their rooms with better sponsors and delegates by:

→ Mapping your ideal attendees with precision
→ Surfacing who's ready to talk using intent signals
→ Delivering warm conversations directly to your sales team, ready to close

This has led to:

→ 400+ positive sponsor and delegate replies in 6 months for Inspired Business Media
→ 48 new sponsor conversations from a single CMO Summit campaign
→ 55 new conversations from an ABM roundtable campaign

"Daryl transformed our Go To Market approach across our CMO, CIO, CTO and CISO Summit events. His AI-powered data, technology and outreach strategy gave us a people-first competitive edge with senior leaders." — Leigh Khan Hussain, CEO, Inspired Business Media

If you're running B2B events and tired of the last-minute scramble, we should talk sooner rather than later.

Behold, easily the most inspiring spot for scientists and nerds in the Kingdom: KAUST, perched on the Red Sea with labs, supercomputers, and a whole marine sanctuary built in.

Just finished a 2 am feed and wanted to mark the moment by sharing something I’ve quietly been building: my own baby activity tracker (Just do it).

Over the past weeks I’ve tried a bit of everything — apps, notes on my phone, even scribbles on the wall — but nothing really matched how my days with my son actually feel. So I started designing a simple tracker just for us, and it’s slowly becoming part of our nightly rhythm. The screenshots here are from this week, where I’ve been logging feeds and diapers and getting little reflections back on how the week went.

One funny (and honest) observation: I almost never manage to log sleep time. Somehow, by the time he finally dozes off, the last thing I want to do is tap another button. That gap made me notice how much I crave calm more than perfect data. Using this tool has helped me be more mindful of our routines without obsessing, and seeing the week summarized gives me a small sense of order in the blur of new parenthood.

I’m deeply grateful that my baby Justin  is the inspiration / pair-programming buddy / tester for this little project. The idea is that the tool will grow with him, and I’ll grow with it: what we track, how we reflect, and how we build tiny moments of awareness into everyday care. If it can help other new parents feel a bit more grounded and gentle with themselves, then it’s already a success.

Give it a try, or share it with a new parent friend. Hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it.

After feeding baby Justin tonight, I suddenly got hit by a very specific craving: that steamy, savory bowl of halal Lanzhou noodles in China – the kind where the broth warms your soul and the hand-pulled noodles disappear way too fast.

So, while the little one was settling back to sleep, I opened up HalalYalla and did the next best thing to actually flying to China: I added a few halal Lanzhou noodle spots in Shenzhen to the app.

If you’re heading to Shenzhen (or already there!), you’ll soon see new listings for:
- Lanzhou / Chinese Muslim noodle places in key districts
- Clear halal tagging and addresses you can navigate to directly

This is just the start. I’ll keep expanding the China halal noodle map city by city – if you know any must‑visit spots, reply or DM so we can add them to HalalYalla and help more Muslims find that perfect bowl.

Desert sea of thought—
Ibn al-Haytham’s light gleams still,
KAUST dawns anew.

Nations endure not just on vision or resources, but on trust: the quiet promises that bind us all.

Saudi Founding Day celebrates exactly that: leaders and people whose word built a lasting foundation, from Diriyah in 1727 to today. That's why I write about trust and foundation today.

Confucius says, "lacking trustworthiness, it's hard to know what can be made of them". In homes as in nations, kids learn trust not from words alone, but from whether "I'll be there" holds true.

In celebration of Foundation Day today, pick one recent promise to your child. Keep it by day's end, or sit down, explain honestly why not, and rebuild together. 

Small acts build strong foundations.

Happy Foundation Day!

自謂西川業漸成，
荊郊野夢尚纏情。
六年閒坐雲山外，
一劍未嘗試世塵。
水繞孤城春自碧，
心隨駿馬意難停。
他年若問興衰事，
但指江流笑未名。
