As an event admin, you will set up the skeleton or framework of your exhibitor’s booth and assign an exhibitor admin to give them access to edit the content of their booth.

How to create exhibitor booths

STEP 1: Create an Exhibitor Booth

Go to the Exhibitors & Sponsors tab
Add an exhibitor booth by clicking (+) Add Exhibitor
