How does an attendee interact with exhibitors?
Attendees can find exhibitors in an exhibitor hall or the exhibitor directory. Once they enter the virtual booth, they can send a broadcast message to booth staff to start a conversation. Exhibit staff may be listed in a staff directory and if Smart Meetings is turned on and attendees opt in, virtual or in-person meetings can be scheduled between attendees and exhibitors.

Virtual exhibitors have a variety of options to promote their brand and capture sales leads. Feature rich virtual booths create interest, calls to action, and automatically create a sales lead once the attendee enters. Venue offers advertising placements, sessions sponsorships, custom directories and placements inside the exhibit hall or attendee dashboard.
How do exhibitors get sales leads?
Site administrators activate lead reports for exhibitors and customizes the information viewable in those reports. All exhibitors have a booth statistics report. Other reports are the leads report for all attendee activity in the booth, the forms report for form submissions, and an events report to show registrations for in-booth sessions. Site administrators can add demographic fields to any report and make those fields viewable based on sponsor level. All reports are on-demand and data is presented in real time.
