Step by Step Walkthrough

Step 1 - Log into the site

Find the “Login” button in the upper right-hand corner of the site’s homepage or login directly from the site’s login screen.

Step 2 - Find a virtual booth

Booth directories often appear on a site page giving you the opportunity to view the list of exhibitors and select the one you want.  If you can't find the exhibitor in a directory, you can always click the magnifying glass, enter the exhibitor name and have the results appear on the site.

Step 3 - Access booth pages

Most exhibitors will have pages that allow you to find out more about the company, view in-booth sessions, sign up for prizes and giveaways, request a meeting or simply ask for the booth staff to get in touch.  Find links to pages in the booth header and click to open up the page.

Fill out a page form to ask for a meeting, a contact, register for a prize or sign up for an in-booth session.

Step 4 - Explore the 2D Booth

Many virtual booths will have a 2D image with links to videos or other locations inside the booth. 

• Click the "hot spots" to see where they take you or watch an embedded video.
• Click "Badge Scan" to let the exhibitor know you stopped by
• Click "Message" to send a message to booth staff.

Step 5- Register for in-booth sessions

Exhibitors may hold sessions in their virtual booth to demo products and services, have you meet their executives or hold an educational session.  Look for an "In Booth Sessions" page, open it up and register for the session.

Step 6 - Explore the content

Exhibitors will post content to share product information, training materials, show specials and more.  Look at the home page for content directories and click to find the content post.
