Design FAQs
What is the difference between a small, medium, and large virtual booth?
Similar to physical booths, the virtual booths have more content spaces available depending
on the size, as well as more square foot space. A small booth will have the base number of
content spaces and more will be added as the booth size increases.
What size virtual booth is recommended?
If an exhibitor has a medium or large booth in a physical expo, it is recommended to get the
same size in a virtual booth. However, if an exhibitor has a small booth in a physical expo, a
bigger booth would benefit them. A larger virtual booth allows for a bigger footprint year-round.
What is a custom booth?
A custom booth is developed to look exactly like an exhibitor’s physical booth. The virtual
booth is integrated into the platform for attendees to view year-round. It includes all of the
features of the platform and is interactive.
What do I need to give you for a custom booth?
We require a CAD/3D Max file and any content you would like featured in your booth. Any video or
render of your booth is a plus.
Can I change the colors of my virtual booth?
Yes. Each virtual booth has customizable accent colors that can be changed to corporate
colors or a hex code color.
How long does it take to build a virtual booth?
Around 1-2 weeks after we have received your content.
Can I view my virtual booth before it goes live?
Yes. We will show you a preview of the virtual booth and you will be able to request changes
before it goes live.

What is an exhibitor showcase?
An exhibitor showcase allows an exhibitor to showcase all of their booths, products,
webinars, contacts, etc. into one centralized location (think Amazon shop ---- or eBay store for a
particular vendor). This is a very prestigious and dedicated offering by an exhibitor. This feature
is only available to exhibitors with a minimum of a medium-sized booth.
Can I promote a link to my virtual booth via email or newsletter?
Yes. However, when users click that link, they will be prompted to the login screen, at which
they will need to register and get a username and password, then it will take them to your
booth. If the user has previously registered, they simply have to login and it will take them to
your booth.
What else can I do to promote my virtual booth year-round.
Typically, exhibitors promote their virtual booths by offering year-round freebies, giveaways,
webinars, newsletters, education, etc. Exhibitors can also refresh all their booth
