This article explains the difference between the exhibitor booth and side panel layout of your institutions and how you can set up what layout to use.
Which layout should I choose?
As an organiser, you can choose between different layout options for the detail page of your institutions:
The exhibitor booth opens on a full page and focuses on networking features, making it ideal for online events. Features like company representatives are emphasised, and it includes some exclusive networking options such as a Drop business card.
The institution page opens as a side panel (web) or full-page (mobile) and focuses on branding, making it more suitable for onsite events. The space for images (logo and background image) is bigger than the one of the exhibitor booth on mobile. It also includes networking options like representatives.
To see what each option looks like, check out pages 16-18 of our Sponsor brochure.
