How do I set up a virtual booth for an online expo?

Choose your platform

First, confirm which expo platform you're using—most events provide a custom virtual floor or use established tools. Log into your exhibitor dashboard and locate the booth customization section. You'll typically find templates ready to populate.

Upload your basics

Add your company logo, banner image, and description. Keep text concise—most visitors scan rather than read. Upload product images or videos if allowed. Check file size limits before uploading; oversized files slow load times for attendees.

Set up contact methods

Enable chat, email forms, or meeting scheduler features. Test that notifications reach you. Ensure someone is assigned to monitor messages during event hours.

Test before going live

View your booth from an attendee's perspective using an incognito browser window. Check that links work, videos play, and forms submit correctly. Test on mobile and desktop.
