Using the Exhibitor Showcase Feature

At its core level, the exhibitor Showcase feature is a second place to display exhibitors other than the Exhibit Hall. To make the most of the Showcase feature however, the most effective use of the Showcase is its endless possibilities for creativity and advertisement for your Virtual Event Portal or Mobile Event App.

In the past we have seen creative use-cases with this showcase feature such as a place to display e-posters. Some customers like having a dedicated area for Poster Presentations and Commercial Exhibitors. Another could be Exhibit Hall A or Exhibit Hall B, all you would have to do is use the Translations feature and alter the word Showcase.
