The Exhibition module brings the company into your event. Registration handles people — one person, one ticket. A trade show adds a second kind of participant: a company that confirms its attendance, brings a staff roster, occupies booths and orders services. Exhibition mode models exactly that. It is an optional module, off by default. Every event starts without it; enabling it is a per-event decision.

Enable it

Click Exhibition in the event navigation. While the module is off, the entry leads to an enable page describing what it adds. Click Enable Exhibition — the module’s four pages join the event’s navigation, and nothing else about the event changes.

The cast

Exhibitors

The company participant: one company in this event, with contacts, a staff roster, a badge code, and a confirmation lifecycle.

Booth types

The catalog, set up once: “3×3 standard”, “6×6 island” — a name, description and specification that booths reference.

Booths

The inventory and the daily allocation task: real units with a hall, a number and an occupant. Two booths of the same type are not interchangeable.

Services & materials

What exhibitors order for their booths — power drops, furniture, lead scanners — and the orders recorded against each item.

Suggested setup order

1

Enable the module

From the Exhibition entry in the event navigation.
2

Define booth types

The catalog first: a booth type describes what a booth is, then the units under it are the actual inventory.
3

Name your halls as venues

A booth’s hall is a venue from Program & venue — booths and the agenda speak of the same places, so “Hall A” exists once.
4

Add the booths

Create each booth with its hall, number and type.
5

Create service items

Publish the services & materials exhibitors can order.
6

Add exhibitors and allocate

Add each exhibitor, link a badge code for its staff, assign booths, and record service orders as they come in.

How it connects to the rest of the event

  • Exhibitor staff are ordinary attendees. A staff member registers like any guest — typically through the exhibitor’s dedicated badge code — and is then attached to the company. There is no second identity.
  • Badge quotas are redemption codes. An exhibitor’s staff allotment is a code from Offers & redemptions linked to the exhibitor; its use limit is the quota. See Exhibitors.
  • Halls are venues, shared with the program layer.
  • Automations can react to exhibition moments — an exhibitor being confirmed, a booth being assigned — with the company’s contact email as the recipient. See Automations.

Rules to know

  • Everything here is organizer-driven today. There is no exhibitor self-service portal yet — companies don’t log in; your team records confirmations, allocations and orders from the console.
  • Everything is free today. Booth types and service items carry no prices; publishing them is a catalog decision. Pricing arrives later on the same definitions.
  • Nothing important is deleted. Exhibitors, booths, booth types and service items archive or cancel rather than delete, so history and references stay intact.
