How to use exhibitor categories

Exhibitors can be assigned to different categories for easier navigation on the floor plan. Categories allow attendees to sort companies by products or services.

Attendees can search for a particular category. All exhibitors within this category will be highlighted on the floor plan:

Displaying categories

Categories are hidden behind a "hamburger" tab on the view by default. However, they can also be displayed on the exhibitors list at the top.

To set it up, go to "Settings - Floor plan" and check the box "Show categories" under the section "What to show on start.”

Adding categories

You can add, edit, or delete exhibitor categories in the "Exhibitor Details - Categories." To add a category, click on the "Add New" button:

You can also add multiple categories at the same time. To allow exhibitors to assign categories themselves, check the corresponding box in the pop-up window:

Via Excel

You can import categories along with other exhibitor data via the Excel template. They will be assigned to exhibitors automatically. Please note that categories should be comma-separated.

Assigning categories

With the Exhibitor Portal

Exhibitors can assign themselves to a category in their portal by clicking "Edit profile - Category."

Individually and in bulk

To (un)assign categories, go to "Exhibitors", select one or multiple exhibitors, click on "Category" and select the necessary one.

In a similar way, you can delete categories of the selected exhibitors - individually or all.
