FAQ
- Should I have a staff member always on my virtual booth?
The best practice is like a live event - ideally, the client would have someone on their booth (hub) at all times - please remember to advise they don't need to be permanently within the showcase page itself as they can be called from wherever they are in the platform but it is still advisable to have 1 person there to see attendees coming in and out of their hub and have the opportunity to connect with them quickly.
- What format/spec should I send my documents/videos/images?
The video should be .MP4, Documents for download should be. PDF, Max file size is 50MB and images should be JPEG.
- I can only have 3 videos and 3 documents at my booth - can these be changed each day?
Yes, you can have these on rotation but they must be prepped before and sent to Ashley to forward onto the totem team.
- When is the deadline to send in our collateral?
March 8th, it must be sent to Ashley Voltz and (for larger files like videos and large PDFS) uploaded to our DROPBOX
- When will my staff receive their logins to the event?
Once your register them on the GES platform, they should receive a basic confirmation right away- letting them know their platform credentials will be sent the week before the event
