Video guide

Create an event

Go to Events and use New event. You need:

  • Event name and Event date (single date — there are no end dates).
  • Event typeBusiness Show or Networking Event. This drives the filters on the Events page and which listings appear in each embed.
  • Venue and region.
  • Standard and Premium stand prices, plus how many of each are available.

Availability

The number available per stand type feeds the "stands remaining" figures on the Events overview and stops you overselling.

Filters

The Events page filters by date range, status and event type. Filters are in a collapsible panel so the event list stays the focus.

Archiving and cancelling

Events archive themselves automatically the day after they take place. To cancel an event use Admin → Cancel event; exhibitors and attendees are emailed.
