What is an Exhibitor Manual?

An exhibitor manual serves as the operational bible for trade show participants. It is an essential document or digital resource that acts as a comprehensive guide for exhibitors at an event. This manual consolidates all the critical information and procedures that ensure a smooth, successful showing.

Traditionally, it covers a multitude of aspects:

Event Schedule and Guidelines

A detailed timeline and a list of event protocols.

Profile and Product Management

Tools to manage online profiles and product listings.

Submission Forms

A channel for submitting logistical requests and information.

Financial Management

Systems for handling financial transactions related to the event.

The Problems with Traditional Exhibitor Manuals… They’re Manual

While the intent behind exhibitor manuals is to streamline the experience, the reality often falls short. Here are some common pitfalls associated with traditional exhibitor manuals:

You’re Life Without XpoBay as an Event Organiser

Complex Navigation

Participants struggle through a daunting multipage exhibitor manual filled with general, often irrelevant information. Even XpoBay imitators try and fail to have clear, elegant, easy information forcing organisers to supplement with their own blood sweat and tears.

Inflexibility

A rigid structure in the manuals often means they can't cater to the bespoke requirements of different exhibitors. This one-size-fits-all approach can be detrimental, especially when custom solutions are needed for unique exhibition spaces or marketing strategies.

Poor User Experience

Exhibitors, speakers, and sponsors lose track amidst a tangle of tasks, struggling to keep up with their to-do lists…the last thing they need to deal with amongst their own busy days. Result: Frustrated users and low form completion rates. Equals more time and stress for the organiser answering repeated questions and chasing compliance.

Form Completion Failures

Low form completion rates are a frequent issue, exacerbated by systems that require users to enter the same information multiple times. Additionally, the absence of an automated reminder system means that organisers are left tearing their hair out trying to get their show compliant.

Maintenance Challenges

Keeping an exhibitor manual up to date can be a daunting task. The effort to maintain accuracy and relevancy of content can be overwhelming, particularly when dealing with large-scale events with numerous moving parts. Often you’re dealing with a 3rd party and it all just gets too hard.

Insufficient Support

Organisers are at the mercy of their providers' schedules for the creation and updates of pages and forms, causing delays and frustration.

Difficult to Manage

You’re buried in massive spreadsheets, drowning in a sea of columns and rows for each participant. Trying to track where everyone is at and hoping everything gets done before the event.

Integration Issues

Organisers juggle multiple programs to manage speakers, sponsors, and attendees, a logistical nightmare buried in siloed data, incompatible platforms and repetitive tasks that devour time and energy.
