How to add webinars to your virtual booth?

This article summarizes the steps required to add a webinar or session as part of your virtual booth.

Depending on your specific event, exhibitors have the opportunity to host webinars or sessions. The webinars can be either live or pre-recorded and there are a number of options available regarding the technology used to host them.

Webinars will be accessible from within the exhibitor's virtual booth. When an attendee clicks to join the webinar they will be taken to a separate webinar room, where they can view the session and chat with the representative associated with the session (if the chat feature has been enabled).

Webinars will also be listed as part of the main event agenda and available from both the agenda heading within the sidebar and within attendees dashboards. If these options do not appear they may have been disabled for your specific event, in which case you will need to contact your event organizer.
