Booths

The physical booth inventory: every unit has a hall, a number and a type — and allocating one to an exhibitor happens on its page.

A booth is a real, individual unit of floor space — Hall A, booth A-12. Unlike ticket capacity, which is an anonymous count, every booth has an identity: two booths of the same type are not interchangeable, so each is tracked on its own. Find them under Exhibition → Booths.

Booths and booth types are deliberately two pages. The type is the catalog entry you define once (“3×3 standard”); the booth is the unit an exhibitor actually occupies. Create at least one booth type before adding booths.

Add a booth

Click Add booth. A booth is born with its number (e.g. “A-12”) and its booth type; the rest configures on its page:

• Venue — the hall this booth stands in. Halls are venues from Program & venue, so booths and the agenda speak of the same place. Optional, but recommended.
• Notes — free text for your team.

Allocate a booth to an exhibitor

Allocation happens on the booth’s page, in the Allocation section: pick the exhibitor and save.

• Only Pending or Confirmed exhibitors can take a new booth — a cancelled or archived company can’t be assigned.
• Assigning fires the “Booth assigned to an exhibitor” automation trigger, if you’ve set one up — see Automations.
• To free the booth, clear the allocation here, or use Release on the exhibitor’s page.

Cancelling an exhibitor does not release its booths. The allocation stays until you release it explicitly — the console surfaces the conflict rather than reshuffling your floor plan behind your back.

Lifecycle

Status	What it means
Active	In inventory — can be allocated and reallocated.
Archived	Retired from inventory. Its current allocation is kept, but it takes no new one.

Booths are archived, never deleted, and can be restored to Active later. The booth’s activity log records every operation — allocation history included.

Rules to know

• One booth, one exhibitor at a time. A booth holds a single allocation; an exhibitor can hold many booths.
• The hall is a venue. An archived venue takes no new booths, by the same rule it takes no new sessions — existing booths keep their venue.
• Allocation is manual today. There is no self-service booth sale; your team assigns from the console. Booth sales arrive together with pricing, later.
• Booth numbers are yours. The console doesn’t impose a numbering scheme — use whatever matches your floor plan (floor-plan placement itself is a future feature).

Work catalog-first: define booth types for each spec you sell, then batch-create the units under them. The types page shows every booth of a given type at a glance.
