Exhibitor Portal Best Practices
Section titled “Exhibitor Portal Best Practices”- Send credentials early — give exhibitors portal access at least 2 weeks before the event so they can set up their profile and products.
- Pre-fill company info — when manually adding exhibitors, fill in as much info as possible so they only need to review, not start from scratch.
- Test the portal — log in as an exhibitor to verify the experience is smooth. Check that team member limits, lead capture, and products work correctly.
- Create FAQ content — add common questions before sharing portal access: venue address, move-in schedule, Wi-Fi credentials, booth regulations.
- Add announcements proactively — post setup instructions, logistics info, and venue details as announcements before the event.
- Upload floor plans — exhibitors need to know where their booth is located. Upload the floor plan as early as possible.
