The Pro Exhibitor

The exhibitor booth allows you to showcase your content as an exhibitor and allows you to interact with anyone who enters your booth. With live streaming, you would be able to set up more inter-personal meetings with leads who are interested in your company. Exhibitor booth live streaming can be hosted using the Accelevents Pro Exhibitor Studio or Zoom.

This will be your view as an exhibitor if an attendee has already joined you in your live stream:
