Exhibitor web portal
To help you stay on top of your sponsorship deliverables, we will be utilizing the Cvent Exhibitor Portal – your one-stop place for tasks, deadlines, and guidelines for deliverables. Drill into each task to view more details. Here you can also register your exhibiting staff, as well as purchase LeadCapture licenses to collect leads at the in-person event and much more.
Admins for the exhibitor will receive an email invite to join the portal. If you have already set up your Exhibitor Portal account through the welcome email invite, you can log into the Exhibitor Portal now.
Please do not click “Add your company,” as your company has already been created, and this will generate a duplicate account.
If you forgot your password, please click “Forgot?” and follow the directions on the screen.
Conference registration
There is a task for conference registrations in the exhibitor portal. Here you will find directions for registering your staff (in-person and/or virtual). You will also have the option to purchase additional virtual passes for your staff if needed.
NOTE: Exhibitors cannot register for the conference through the main event website—you must use the exhibitor portal.
LeadCapture
To capture in-person leads at the event, we will be utilizing Cvent LeadCapture. Diamond and Platinum Exhibitors have Bring Your Own Device LeadCapture licenses allotment included with their sponsorship. This license allows you to scan attendee badges on your personal device (iOS (12+) and Android (5.1+) devices supported) by using the Cvent App. If you need additional licenses, log into the Exhibitor Portal for the directions to purchase additional licenses.
IMPORTANT: As a covid safety precaution, you will not be able to purchase rental devices. You can only purchase app licenses to be used on your personal device. It is one license per device, and that license cannot be shared. Within the portal, you can also customize your LeadCapture questions to gain the most important information from a lead.
Conference agenda
Your registration includes access to all breakout sessions, keynotes, and networking.
