Companies – Exhibitor and Sponsors
Companies within the Event module allow you to showcase the organizations supporting your event. These entities can be classified as Sponsors, Exhibitors, or both, depending on their involvement. Sponsors are directly involved in the event's realization; they may or may not have an exhibitor booth. Exhibitors, on the other hand, might not be directly involved in the event's realization but have an agreement with your organization for a booth or representation at the event.
Creating a Company
For Exhibitors or Sponsors, you have the option to create a dedicated profile for them within the specific event. To create a company profile, follow these steps:
- Go to Events, and select the event tile.
- From the left panel, click Companies.
- Click Create Company.
- In the pop-up window:
Set the name, provide the email address to receive all communications for this company, select if this company is an Exhibitor, Sponsor, or both and set the location of their booth.
Note: The email address used here will be the main contact linked to the company contact section, including the Contact Me function that allows attendees/speakers to leave their email addresses to be contacted.
- Click Save.
Company Categories and Level
Companies can be assigned both a level and a category, which helps definde their prominence and classification throughout the event.
- Exhibitor/Sponsor Level: This setting determines the hierarchy of a company's involvement. A higher level indicates greater priority and influences the display order across the event; companies with the highest level will appear first. When you activate a company as either an Exhibitor or a Sponsor, you will be prompted to specify their corresponding level. An example of levels used in an Event can be: Diamond, Gold, or Silver.
- Exhibitor/Sponsor Category: Categories are used to classify companies based on a distinguishing characteristic, such as their industry. This helps attendees easily identify and navigate different types of companies, for example: Media, Production, Healthcare, or Media Outlet.
