Allowing Exhibit Attendees

While for most clients, the main purpose of creating an exhibition is to sell and manage booths, it is also possible to register exhibition attendees.

Note: What is an exhibit attendee? Attendees are not booth purchasers, but people who are simply attending to enjoy the amenities of the exhibition. For associations simply wishing to sell and manage booths, enabling attendee registration is not required.

There are several settings related to this configuration. This article highlights settings on the staff side as well as how it appears when enabled on the Exhibit Purchase Wizard for non-staff.

Options on the Exhibit Record

While the majority of settings on the Exhibit Record are related to creation and management of booths, some are connected to the management of exhibit attendees.

Attendee Prices

Prices under the Exhibit Record > Prices tab are for attendees specifically. All booth prices are configured under the Planning tab > Booth Spaces.

For clients not using the attendee configuration, it is not necessary to create a price in this area.

The Attendee Registration Process

For Non-Staff Users

The option for non-staff attendees to register themselves appears on the Exhibit Details web page, accessible via the Upcoming Events web page.

Note: For administrators responsible for configuring these web pages, see the help articles, Web Content - Upcoming Exhibits, Web Content - Exhibit Details and Web Content - Exhibit Attendee Registration Wizard for more information.

For Staff Users

Staff users needing to register attendees can navigate to the Individual Record > Buy tab and click Exhibits. This option loads the list of Upcoming Exhibits with the option to register attendees.
